Happy walks, no matter the pace!!

Pet care experience

I have always connected with animals, ever since I was a small kid. My family always had dogs so I grew up around them, always wanting to be involved in their care. When I grew a bit older, I started walking my neighbours’ dogs, feeding and keeping company when they were away and ensuring their well being in general. My friends and family also entrusted me with their furry babies whenever needed and I’m glad to care for them. Back at my parents’ house I have a dog who is now senior and while living there I was her primary caregiver. She is my soul dog and I miss her so much, it would help so much to be around other pets and give them the love that I physically can’t give her while I’m here for university. I can care for seniors, administer medication if needed, teach young puppies simple tricks, and I have plenty of patience to deal with your dog’s personality (and love to give them).

A few weeks ago I had to return to my hometown for about 6 days due some family matters. I live alone and my little cat Harold had never been alone with some else since he’s been adopted, because of his backgrounds in the streets I really didn’t know how he would react. I got to know Marina when talking with a friend of mine about Harold’s situation, they referred Marina after she took care of their dog. That was the best decision I could have made! Marina explained her skills and how previously she used to take care of her family dog. Right there I could see the love and affinity that she has with animals, most importantly, the seriousness that she took my concerns about Harold. Everything went smoothly and I was able to enjoy my trip, Marina was able to handle the difficult task that I presented to her with flying colors. I couldn’t recommend Marina more. This girl deserves five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

We were fortunate to have Marina take care of our beloved golden retriever, Maya, during a recent vacation. Marina's dedication to providing empathetic and respectful care truly stood out. She would send us daily updates with adorable pictures of Maya and we were able to enjoy our trip with peace of mind. I’d wholeheartedly recommend her to any pet parent seeking a caring and responsible companion for their furry family members.

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Marina for the pet sitter position with Rover. I had the pleasure of entrusting her with the care of my cherished pets – two cats, Kittus and Maya, and two dogs, Pippa and Mel – during my travels. Our connection began when I sought a reliable and caring individual to look after my beloved animals. Marina not only met but exceeded my expectations. Her genuine love and compassion for animals quickly transformed our professional arrangement into a friendship. Marina's dedication and affection towards Kittus, Maya, Pippa, and Mel were truly exceptional. She demonstrated unwavering patience, responsibility, and a remarkable ability to connect with each of them. The updates she provided were not just routine; they were filled with warmth and genuine care, assuring me that my pets were in capable and loving hands. In addition to caring for my four-legged family members, Marina also introduced me to her own delightful companion, Grampola – a charming black pug. Witnessing her attentiveness and responsible pet ownership with Grampola only strengthened my confidence in her abilities as a pet sitter. One noteworthy quality of Marina is her reliability in administering medications when necessary. She exhibited a high level of competence and care in managing the health needs of my pets, putting my mind at ease during my time away. In summary, Marina is an outstanding individual whose passion for animals, coupled with her responsibility and warmth, make her an exceptional choice for the pet sitter position. I have no doubt that any pets under her care will not only be looked after but will thrive in her company. Please feel free to reach out if you require any further information or if there are additional steps in the recommendation process. I am more than happy to provide any details necessary to support Marina's candidacy.

Safety, trust & environment

I sadly cannot have animals in my home as my tenant does not allow it, but I’ll be more than happy to go to your home and watch your dog(s). I see this as a good thing for your pet, as it avoids taking them to an unfamiliar environment with an unfamiliar person. I am more than happy to meet with you and your dog for coffee or a quick chat so we can get to know each other and make it all smoother. I’ll do everything in my power to ensure your dog’s safety, comfort, well being and that you have peace of mind while away (promise to send pictures if you want them!!!). I strive to create a good bond with every doggy, I’ll cater to their needs (such as being high or low energy, needing more attention, wanting cuddles or to be left alone etc). I’ll love to meet your dog and I’m sure we’ll have a great time.

Information Marina F. would like to know about your pet

As said before, I would love to know as much as possible in advance. This allows me to prepare better and know how my time with them will be spent. It is crucial to inform me of any medical conditions or disabilities, as that requires a bit more care (I’ll be happy to accommodate their special needs)

A typical day

Whatever they enjoy doing! I know they hate it when their owner is away so I’ll make the days as fun, mentally and physically stimulating and smooth as possible. If they are low energy we can take a calm walk (seriously my senior dog will take 40 mins to walk around the block because she loves smelling it all, patience is my virtue lol), I’ll give them a licking mat or something to keep their mind busy and then we can cuddle/chill. If they are super high energy I’m more than happy to take them on a run to the park with me, I may be a home body but I love exercising and being out in nature. At home I can give them some environment enrichment activities to end the day and get some good sleep.

I go to university part time, I do have a couple free days where I can watch and care for your fur baby. During the weekends I don’t tend to go out and I terribly miss my dog’s company, so it would be perfect to spend it in company of another doggy.
