Pet care experience

Your pets new favorite sitter!

I’ve been around animals my whole life and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’ve had pets growing up as well as currently, and have often watched dogs for friends and family over the years. I’m comfortable with different types of animals and have experience caring not only for dogs and cats, but also horses and chickens. I’m attentive, calm, and very respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, routines, walks, and any special care needs. Because I stay in my camper van parked at the home, I’m nearby and available throughout the day and night if your pet needs anything. I aim to keep their routine consistent so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m calm, attentive, and respectful of both the home and the animal’s personality and boundaries. I’m also happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

House Sitting • mar. 20, 2026

Marina came to the rescue for us while we were on vacation and took care of our pups so we could go on a river trip for the day. She was punctual, professional, and very good with our dogs. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you again, Marina!

Marina has done a great job taking care of our pets. She is very punctual and seems to really love hanging out with our dogs. She makes sure that they get good exercise, keeps them safe and hydrated and she updates us on how things are going and what they are up to. Our dogs are always excited to see her. Great pet sitter!

I had Marina watch my animals often. I have horses and a dog. She was great with the animals, my dog adored her. Marina always did an amazing job of following the instructions I left her, and my house was always spotless when I got home. I would highly recommend her for your animal care needs. Also she is a really warm and genuine person.

Schedule

I work remotely as a full-time artist and content creator, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I travel full-time in my camper van, which actually makes it easy for me to stay close by when caring for pets. When house sitting, I park in the driveway and stay nearby so I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day and evening. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and naturally build my routine around their needs.
