Your dog’s new best friend.

Pet care experience

I spent the last 1.5 years running my own petsitting business, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats on the side for 15 years prior to that! I have experience administering medicine, caring for specials needs and older dogs, and young puppies. I’m not a professional trainer, however I have experience following training principles (leash commands, cues, etc). I can maintain your pup’s training so no progress is lost while you’re away!

Marina is a dream dog and house sitter! She loves our pups like they are her own, and they love her right back. She gives them the attention they need and all the walks they can stand. She is always upfront about her schedule, sends photos and updates reliably, and leaves our house tidier than she found it. My only reservation about posting this review on Rover.com is that I don't want to share her. She is fantastic.

Marina was our go-to babysitter and pet sitter when she lived near us. She is super professional and courteous...and just an-all around pleasure! Our boys (including our dog!) loved when she would come over. She is so much fun and is always up for an adventure!

Marina has been watching and walking my dog for years. I trust her completely. I feel like she loves him and treats him like her own dog. I highly recommend her!

Marina H. was raised in a pet loving family/environment; two cats and a dog. She has been significantly involved in the care of each of the family pets. One of the pets, a male kitten, was a rescue that had been severely abused and was terrified of humans. Marina spent many patient hours loving and calming this cat eventually bringing him to a place where he once again trusted humans enough to interact with family members and later quests who visited the home. Marina was also a significant factor in the training and care of the family dog, Tigger, a red standard poodle, from his arrival as a puppy. Tigger has become a trusting well trained loving member of the family. Over a number of years Marina cared for our (my wife and I) Cockapoo female Sadie, who lived with us 17 happy years. Sadie loved Marina and was always excited to see her. Marina is responsible and mature and has a calming spirit and truly loves animals. I have complete faith in Marina’s ability to care for all animals, especially K9s. I fully trust Marina as an honest and loving person and have absolutely no reservations about the comments made here and this testimonial.

I have a fenced yard, a doggy door, and a happy, bouncy 2 year old golden retriever who loves to play. They will roam free and I will be home during the day to monitor them.

Information Marina H. would like to know about your pet

How is your dog on walks towards other dogs, strangers, or children? Do they pull on the leash? Are there any training behaviors you want me to enforce? I.e. sitting before being fed, given a treat after "going" outside, etc. What are your pup’s favorite toys and treats? Any food allergies?

A typical day

A typical day will be spent relaxing in the home, running around and playing in the yard with our dog, and going on walks around the neighborhood. I will be working remotely on schoolwork during the day and taking breaks to play outside with your pups!
