Information Marina J. would like to know about your pet

My family loves dogs and are very affectionate. We play with them and our Rosie a lot and the dogs love it. They all sleep well at night too since they had a good work out

A typical day

We go for walks at the local dog park, with owner approval, and play. We send pictures daily and videos calls, FaceTime so the owner has peace of mind

Pet care experience

I was born and raised on a farm around many dogs, and all my life I've been volunteering at dog rescues. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their babies.

Marina is WONDERFUL. She took such loving care of our puppy Daisy, treating her as if she was her own dog. Daisy gets nervous being left alone, and Marina was so kind and accommodating to fully be with Daisy during the day. When we initially dropped off Daisy, Marina also played with her and distracted her to help get her mind off drop-off separation. I felt so comfortable and at ease knowing Daisy was with Marina and she would be well taken care of. When we picked up Daisy, we could instantly tell she was so happy and relaxed. She enjoyed playing with Marina and her family and pup. 1000% recommend. Truly a loving sitter who cares about the well being of dogs ❤️

Marina was amazing. Roxy settled in quickly and gave us constant updates. We are new to the area and are happy to have found someone we can use consistently. Highly recommend Marina

She quickly responded and allowed me to extend Bruce and Cali's stay to minimize disrupting them while I moved into a new place. I know that they are being will card for and have adopted Marina and her family as their second home.

Marina opened her home to my 2 large and not necessarily friendly cats.. but they quickly took to her and her family and when I was able to visit a couple times could tell that they were comfortable and happy. Thank you for taking such great care of Bruce and Cali!!
