Highlights
Pet care experience
From big to small, I love them all!
As a dog owner, animal lover, and dog whisperer, I possess the knowledge of the most popular dog breeds and their specific behavior tendencies. I am very comfortable with all breeds, including territorial, adventurous, and independent dogs. I have dealt with senior, blind, Alpha dogs, as well as dogs with diabetes, stroke, and IVDD. Even when dogs don't like most people, the chances are -- they will like me. When I go to peoples' homes who have pets, the pets always end up on my lap. I am very confident that your fur babies will like me. I treat them all with love, care, and respect. I am staying at home and dog walking/sitting is my full-time business. We have 3 older kids who are in college. That means I am available to care for your 4 legged family members 24/7. I also take care of cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, fish. I never worked with farm animals, and would love a chance. I am an animal rights supprter. I also rescue wild animals in distress, take unwanted pets and rehome them. I have an SUV, it's large enough for any large dog to transport anywhere to and from. When you are at work or away on vacation, you can leave with confidence and guilt free. I am mature, reliable, and have more than 31 years of experience in dog walking and sitting services.

Ratings and reviews
Marina is the absolute best.
Marina is the absolute best. My Murphy is always so so so excited to get dropped off to play with his friends.
Marina immediately had our trust, comfort and ease! I helped my parents find a dog sitter to come to my wedding. They were nervous having someone come to the house and care for their 2-3 yo dogs that hadn’t been around a lot of other humans though very friendly (a shepherd mix and a German Shepard). Marina was easy and quick to respond. She came by to meet my parents and the dogs, who all loved her immediately! Marina sent videos and photos while we were gone which my parents loved! I especially appreciated Marina’s experience with German shepherd temperaments. I highly recommend Marina and would definitely use her again with FULL CONFIDENCE!
Marina is the absolute BEST!!!
She new I was worried about my pup and sent me lots of pictures and videos to give me peace of mind.
Marina hosted Kora for one day and Kora fell in love with her. She is a very friendly and nice person . Kora enjoyed her stay at Marina’s house playing with other dogs. Thank you, Marina.

Schedule
I am currently taking care of dogs as full time job. I do house sitting/dog sitting at your house. And I am very flexible on staying all day and night.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced yard. And I provide few water bowls if I host multiple dogs at the same time. But as of now, I stopped doggie day care. Maybe will continue in the near future.
Pets
A typical day
I usually take dogs to parks, or find nearby trails. If none close by, we stroll around your neighborhood or I ask my clients what they preffer and what they do. I can teach basic commands. We can jog (depends on dogs and breeds), go to a dog park, but that is up to owner. My dogs don't like dog parks, every dog is different. Communication is my first priority. I don't just walk the dogs, I give them all the attention and love they need.
