I DO NOT offer boarding in my home at this time! My rescue pup is focusing on building his confidence, but continues to make friends everywhere we go. I hope to offer in-house boarding services soon. When applicable, vaccination records and references will be required upon booking.

Pet care experience
My undergraduate studies in Animal Cognition first brought me to Florida six years ago. I instantly fell in love with the sand, sun, and ability to truly live an outdoor lifestyle. And, it only gets better now that I get to share all these beautiful things with my rescued GSP pup! I have dedicated my professional career to studying the behavior of animals, whether it's marine mammals, horses, or our beloved canine companions. I have recently found myself returning to my passion for dog training and personalizing everyday routines to best suit my clients. Just like many of us paw parents, our pets equally benefit from consistency and familiar support. Taking this extra step to understand your pet's day-to-day routine and specific needs is how I plan to ease you both while you enjoy your time away. Don't worry, we plan on enjoying our time together too as we play, snuggle, and maybe sneak an extra treat or two! Just like you would if you were home 😉 PLEASE NOTE: *A scheduled MEET & GREET with your pet(s) will be REQUIRED prior to finalizing any services. *I have a FULL-TIME job and cannot guarantee midday potty breaks for most bookings. *I currently DO NOT offer boarding or daycare services.
Reviews
Marina is a wonderful pet sitter. She’s caring, thoughtful and clearly loves animals. I feel so lucky to have found her!
This past week was the first time I have left my 2 labs overnight and was a bit nervous. Marina not only met my girls ahead of her scheduled time, she went way above my expectations. My labs loved her and I will definitely be using her again. She made my being gone very easy.
I would Highly recommend Marina to anyone looking for a reliable, respectful, sweet care taker. Marina and her partner house sat and puppy sat for us on multiple occasions. She sent daily updates with pictures knowing how hard it was for us to leave our Gunner in someone else's care. She also comes with a large animal training background and understands behavioral reactions, so any kind of nervousness or things that might have come up she handles with care and follows instructions. She and her partner went above and beyond for us and Gunner. Our dog was more than happy to see her when she would return for another overnight staycation with him. If you're looking for a genuine sweet person who is great with animals Marina is your gal! We are sad we are not near her anymore to use her services and finding another sitter like her will be hard. I can't recommend her enough, she's great!
Marina is an absolute gem! From the very first time we met her, she has shown incredible care, reliability, and a genuine love for animals. Our dogs immediately took to her warm demeanor and are excited and happy to see her every time she watches them. She’s always punctual, communicates clearly, and often goes above and beyond—sending photos and giving detailed updates. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that my dogs are in such capable and caring hands. Marina’s professionalism and compassion truly set her apart. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
