Availability

I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. No doggie currently of my own but do have an immediate family pup which stays over a few days over the week, but due to my frequent personal traveling, it’s sadly not the right time for me to adopt a pup. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your Pupper happy!

Information Marina F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your Pup has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for.... I’ve cared for puppies and many senior dogs with problems such as blindness and diabetes.

A typical day

I have a great friendly neighborhood for leash walks and fresh air. Just tell me about their usual day and I'll make it happen! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member, and I’ll love them like they’re my own!

Pet care experience

Any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! I do board only one family pack at a time ( able to have up to 3 pups from same family ) . With over 25 years of experience with being a furry paw parent and being a professional ex-groomer for 4 years. I’ve combined a true passions and drive to be an exceptional dog sitter.

Marina did a great job with my pup! Sent pictures and updates every day and when he wasn’t feeling well was able to bring him to the vet! Will definitely be using her again!

Marina was an amazing sitter for our pup Kalani. She was so organized and cared for our girl like she was her own. It was just so nice knowing our dog was in good care while we were gone for 8 days. Having a reliable sitter is such a relief an we most definitely will be using Marina in the future! You can tell she has a love for animals and did such a great job making sure the pup in her care gets everything they need as if they were at their own home. We are so happy we found Marina! 🥰
