Dedicated Pet Care

Every dog and cat in my care I treat as my own with the same care, love, and attention to detail to make sure that your pet is provided with world-class accommodation, and to make sure you are confident they are in good hands. I am practiced in nervous, reactive, jumpy, particular, energetic, sick, and goofy dogs. I follow directions to a T, with precise attention to detail and do not balk at even the silliest requests (I'll even sing them to sleep if necessary!). I believe I am a wonderful candidate to give your pet some love an attention while you are away. I will be in contact whenever needed for a little reassurance that you can continue your trip, vacation, or travel with confidence.

Safety, trust & environment

I will follow instructions given very closely. If required, I am comfortable crating pets or keeping them in designated areas. I keep a very close eye on my work and keep one eye on pets at all times within and without the household that I am watching.

After a terrible experience with boarding, I've been nervous about leaving my dog while I travel for the holidays. Hoping that a one-on-one arrangement with a sitter would be safer for my dog, I contacted Marina. She replied very quickly about her availability and arranging a time to meet us. What really set my mind at ease was how much my dog Lady instantly loved Marina, and how comfortable Marina was with such a big dog! Lady is a sweetheart, but she's also a 70+ pound Mastiff mix and super strong. Not everyone is comfortable with her at first, but she clicked with Marina right away. I feel so much safer knowing that Lady has a great sitter nearby, and look forward to Lady and I both having a vacation next month!

I’ve been friends with marina for about 6 years and she is so passionate and full of love for dogs. The bond she has with her animals and animals she interacts with is unmeasurable. She’s a kind and intelligent person who you can 100% depend on to be there for you.

Marina day sat and walked my dog Mirry several times throughout the summer! She is so natural with dogs and compassionate towards and aware of their needs. Mirry instantly LOVED being around Marina, especially her affectionate attention and scratches, but even just the sound of her excited voice was enough to make my her go ballistic whenever she was around. Would highly recommend any dog sitting or walking services from Marina. She'll become one of your dog's best buddies for life!
