A great furry friend caretaker!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs for a few years now. A lot for my family and friends when they go on vacation or have to leave out of town for sports and other events. If you need a caretaker for your furry friend I got you! I can make time for your furry friends and I already have a flexible schedule that I can work around. My family and friends would describe me as very responsible, trusting, and gentle with pets. I love all animals and can become friendly very easily with your pet!

Marina was great with my dog again for in-house sitting. I recommend her!

Marina was so great with the pet and house sitting. She tended to all of my dogs needs and was in communication with me for fun pictures or updates. Ill be working with Marina for as long as she is pet sitting! Thank you!

This was our first experience with a sitter and it was amazing! Marina watched our 6 cats with ease. We have a strict schedule and routine which Marina followed flawlessly. We received updates and pictures of our kiddos, which helped make us feel more at ease. Our cats took to her on the very first meeting, we had no doubts she would be a great fit and do a wonderful job. We felt comfortable and relaxed our entire trip thanks to Marina! She was a pleasure to have and we will definitely book her for our needs in the future. Thank you so much Marina!!

Safety, trust & environment

I pay a lot of attention to pets, making sure they’re comfortable and that they’re fed (also depending on how you feed your pet) have water all the time, and I can take them on walks in my apartment complex. If going to your home, I will be able to visit once in the morning and once in the evening to let them out, make sure they have food and water, and play with them for a while from Tuesday-Friday. From Saturday-Monday I can visit once in the morning, in the afternoon, and the evening to do the same.

Information Marina L. would like to know about your pet

I think any medical information would be most necessary to know about your pet. If they are on a set schedule to go potty and/ or to eat then I would need to know. If they have certain playtimes then I would like to know as well. If they are in training and you need me to make sure to do some of a lot of training while I am caring for them then that would be great to know as I would do my best to do some training with them as well.

A typical day

I like to let your dog roam around the apartment and play with whichever toys they have that they like to play with. I love to play fetch with them, give lots of belly rubs and head scratches as well as just have them lay on my lap or beside me when they run out of energy. We can walk around the complex as there are many places to go potty as well as a small dog park.
