Pet care experience

I can’t wait to spend time with your fur babies! I have two boys of my own, one cat and one dog. I’m incredibly comfortable with all breeds, as well as any disclosed behavioral/dietary/etc needs a pet may have. I do ask that pet owners kindly disclose any concerns with barking, chewing, separation anxiety, etc so that I can plan appropriately.

My dog can be a little nervous around people but Marina was so great with him! I’m so glad to have a place where he can go and be comfortable and happy when I need to travel—I’ll definitely be booking with her again instead of going back to my old boarding facility!

My two pups had a great time with Marina! She had good communication, and the boys came back their usual happy selves. Would recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a sound/motion activated pet cam in my home that notifies & records clips to my phone when triggered, also allowing me to check on the pups via live recording during any time I may not be home. Pups will get 3+ walks a day unless other needs specified and weather conditions taken into account. I utilize separate rooms to give animals temporary space from each other as-needed or allow them to acclimate slowly. I will happily accommodate any disclosed behavioral or dietary needs, however I do kindly ask that supplies for any dietary needs are provided. If you would like your pup crated, that’s no problem— however, their crate will need to be provided during their stay. DROP-IN: I carry an “SOS bag” with cleaning supplies to stay prepared for those anxiety-induced pet messes. I feed and walk the pups, make sure to take care of any additional needs during each scheduled visit. With time left in the visit I will then play with the pups, or read a book and sit with them.

Information Marina L. would like to know about your pet

Please kindly fill me in on your dog’s temperament/personality, likes and dislikes, favorite activities, feeding schedule/amounts as well as any meds to be administered, and history with people as well as other animals— namely cats & dogs. And, of course, anything else you may feel is important to share! ** I do ask that pet owners disclose any concerns with barking, chewing, separation anxiety, etc that may prevent their pet from being left alone for any period of time.

A typical day

It’s so fun to watch animals interact with new things/environments. I have a large-size dog tunnel, enjoy purchasing and refilling puzzle toys, practicing fun tricks, and other activities that get the head tilts going.
