Hi!! I grew up in a family that loved animals. Since I can remember, we always had at least 3 or more different animals in my home. It was usually dogs and one more like cats, hamsters, fish, squirrels, turtles, birds, etc. I LOVE them and I feel incomplete without animals in my day to day, they fill my life with so much joy.

Marina to the rescue!! We recently moved to town and were worried about finding the right person to watch our sweet pup... turns out we didn't have to worry, Marina is fantastic! She sent pictures and videos and had great communication. Best of all, she treated our dog like he was her won. And he loved staying with her.

We are so happy when Marina is available to watch Yori. We always get tons of photos and our lil fur baby is so happy and loved every moment she's with her.

This was my first time using Rover so I was naturally apprehensive. Marina put me completely at ease. She was very friendly and responsive. During my dog's stay, Marina would give me updates which was reassuring. I would not hesitate to use her.

Marina was great! She was really responsive and always sent photos and videos of our dog throughout the day, and she genuinely seemed to enjoy having him around. We’ll definitely be using her again soon!

Schedule

Now that I live by myself in LA, I miss my family and my pets. Every time I get a request, I get ridiculously excited because I don't like being dogless😅. I can promise you that I will take care of your dog like if they were my own. They will have all my love and attention; nothing makes me happier than seeing the dogs being comfortable with me. I know it can be hard for them to be separated from their owners, so my goal is to make them feel safe and happy. I usually walk them to Hancock Park La Brea, that is one block away from mine and I just let them be themselves (with the leash of course). I take them on hikes if the owner permits it, and I love taking them to the dog parks. I play with them and LOVE cuddling, so if your dog cuddles I am the right person! And if not, let me know so I don't take it personally 😂 Allowed on bed and all of my furniture, but if you don't allow your dog on bed or couch let me know so I can implement the same rules. I work from home, so I will be with your pet 99% of the time :)
