From big to small, I love them all!

Pet care experience

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.

Marina took great car of our dog while we were in town on a vacation. She sent lots of photos, seemed to really care about our dog, and was easy to communicate with. Would book again if we were in town again!

Marina is kind, responsive, flexible, and full of warmth. She is passionate about taking care of your pup and making sure they feel loved. I received lots of images & videos during my trip and consistent updates on Jinx. I'm so grateful for Marina and her care.

Information Marina K. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog has separation enxiety? Do they sleep in a crate at night? Does your dog has any known food allergy? Is your dog is an alpha dog? I don't have breed preference, i love all breeds. I have owned large dogs all my life. I had German Shepherds,Golden Retrievers, mixed breeds now a proud owner of a Papillon and a rescued terrier mix.

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.
