Marina is truly a gem! I was super anxious about leaving my dog with someone new for the first time, but she immediately put me at ease. She was so responsive and kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay. She has a gorgeous backyard, and her two daughters took care of my fur baby like she was their own. My dog had such a great time! I couldn’t recommend Marina enough. 🤍

Marina was great. She kept me updated throughout spices and entire day with pictures and videos. Spice seem to be very comfortable around her. Her family in her house. I would definitely but again and the backyard is definitely a plus because Spice loves being outside. Thank you so much for the hospitality.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Marina. She was truly amazing with my dog and went above and beyond in every way! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her job seriously. While I was away, she kept in constant communication—sending pictures, videos, and detailed updates about how my dog was doing. It made me feel completely at ease knowing my pup was in such caring and capable hands. My dog absolutely adored her, and it was obvious she treated him like her own. It’s rare to find someone so responsible, kind, and attentive. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless home. I highly recommend Marina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter—she’s truly the best! 🐾❤️

Marina was absolutely wonderful with our dog while we were on vacation! She sent regular updates and photos, and it was clear our pup was happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely book with her again!

Marina is the absolute best—reliable, loving, and truly devoted to the dogs in her care. My pups always stay with her when I’m away, and I never have to worry. They come home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. They especially enjoy playing in her fenced yard and can’t get enough of all the fun toys she has. Marina treats them like family and keeps me updated the whole time. I wouldn’t leave my dogs with anyone else!

I travel often for work, and Marina is always my go-to sitter—I trust her completely. She’s incredibly reliable and gives my pup so much love and attention. My dog always comes home happy, relaxed, and clearly has a blast. It’s a fun, safe place where he feels right at home. Sometimes I think he’s more excited to see Marina than me!

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and am able to give the pups plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, belly rubs during a break, or a midday walk, I’m always nearby to care for them. Drop-Off & Pick-Up Policy • Drop-offs and pick-ups are available between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. • Need a time outside of those hours? Simply book an extra night—you can drop off the night before or pick up the following morning. • Exact times are confirmed closer to your booking date. I’m flexible, but clear communication is essential. • A 30-minute grace period is included. Longer time windows (1+ hour) aren’t possible unless we stay in close contact. • I coordinate exact timing directly with you, rather than using Rover’s wide default time windows. Late Pick-Up Fees • Up to 30 minutes late: No charge • 30 minutes–4 hours late: Half nightly rate • 4.5+ hours late: Full nightly rate

Safety, trust & environment

Pets

A typical day

Dogs follow a natural daily cycle of play, food, rest, exploration, and social interaction. This routine, guided by their biological clock, keeps them balanced, less stressed, and helps them settle comfortably for rest. A typical day in my care is balanced, fun, and tailored to each pup's needs. We usually start with a morning potty break followed by an energy-boosting game of fetch or a walk. Midday includes playtime, interactive toys, and a little learning time with basic commands or fun tricks. After meals and water breaks, we enjoy some quiet time for cuddles or a nap in a cozy spot. The day wraps up with another potty break, light activity, and plenty of affection to end on a happy note.

It's important for me to know your pup’s routine, any medical needs, allergies, or behavioral quirks ahead of time. I’d also love to hear about their favorite toys, activities, and how they usually sleep or eat. Knowing how they interact with other dogs and people helps me provide the safest and most comfortable experience. Please let me know if they have any fears or triggers, like loud noises or separation anxiety. The more I know, the better I can tailor their stay to feel just like home! Food instructions: Please pre-portion each meal into easy-to-open bags, with one or two extras included.
