Pet care experience

Fun and caring dog/cat sitter!

Hi my name is Marina! I’m currently a university student who is studying education I want to become a teacher and I have a love for animals and the outdoors! I have experience with both dog walking and dog sitting, including going over on certain days to let family and friends’ dogs out, feed them, and spend time with them. I am comfortable dog sitting in other people’s homes and always make sure to respect the space and routines. I am very good at learning and following each animal’s schedule, including feeding times, walks, medication if needed, and any specific care instructions. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

I care deeply about the safety and well-being of animals and always do a check-in when I arrive to make sure they have everything they need. I ensure food and water are refilled, they have access to toys and comfort, and that their basic needs are met. For dogs, I make sure they are let outside for bathroom breaks and exercise, and for cats, I clean and scoop the litter box as needed. I also take time to give attention, affection, and cuddles so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.

Marina was wonderful with my puppy, Gambit. She is kind and caring, followed instructions very well and has proven to be trustworthy. I will 100% be booking with Marina again going forward.

Marina has been my favourite dog sitter for years. She provides all the care, love and cuddles my dog deserves. All feeding and care instructions are carefully followed. While my dog is always happy when I get back, he misses his favourite sitter. Never any worries when Marina is taking care of him.

I have had Marina pet sit for me many time and I am always impressed with the care she provides to my pets. I love the photos I receive from Marina when I’m away and know my pets are well cared for. I would recommend her to my friends and family as a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

I highly recommend Marina for anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. She always ensures my pets are happy, and well cared for. She gives me regular updates and responds promptly to messages, which gives me peace of mind when I’m away.

Marina is very responsible. She makes sure to be on time and to do what she is asked. She plays with our puppy and makes sure she is taken care of.

Schedule

Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I already spend a lot of time with animals in my daily life. I enjoy being active, going for walks, and spending time outdoors, so taking dogs out or caring for pets feels like a natural extension of my day. I also spend time with my own pets, playing with them, keeping them company, and making sure they are comfortable and happy. I am a university student going into my 5th of 6 years for teaching, so I am used to balancing responsibilities and managing my time well. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my routine.

It is important for me to know key details about pets ahead of time so I can provide the best care possible. This includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, bathroom needs, behaviour, likes and dislikes, and any specific instructions from the owner. Knowing this information in advance helps me make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
