Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Marina and I love pets. I worked at a grooming salon for 1 year so I'm no stranger to any kind of dog rather big or small. I'm home all day and my son works in the morning and comes home in the evening so there's someone who's always here to watch your dog. My mother would always have 10-12 dogs to take care of at any given time, and she has really inspired me to do the same. Your dog will be great friends with our Yorkie, Munchies. He had a brother who was a Miniature Schnauzer but recently we had to put him to sleep because he was at that age, so Munchies really needs a friend and a new walking buddy. Since our yard is not that big we will love to take your dog out for a walk and play with him/her. Your dog will be in great hands and we hope to see you soon! Why I love dog sitting Ever since I was young growing up in Colombia, I grew up with dogs. My life would seem lonely without a dog, and my mother would always have more than 10 dogs. When I moved to America I couldn't let my family not have the same feeling, so I always had at least two dogs in the house. About my yard We have a small backyard, to a small dog its good enough space but for a big dog it may seem small. The backyards not completely fenced but we do have a gate we can use to make it more secure.

Found Marina thanks to a neighbor’s rave review. Our 3 amigos loved their stay with Marina! I appreciate the daily pictures and videos. Marina was super sweet and even gave them all a little bath before pick up! We absolutely will use her for next time!
