I currently work full-time remote, so whatever your pup needs, I can make sure they’re taken care of! Work days also end in the early afternoon, so we have all evening to explore, cuddle, and play!

Safety, trust & environment

Being away from the people they love is always stressful for a dog, so I do whatever I can to let them know that they’re in a safe, fun, and loving environment. When dogs are with me, they are a part of my home. They are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. I often read aloud to the animals that I watch to relax or soothe them, especially if they seem down. I keep them to the routine they have at home as much as I can to keep them relaxed.

Your pup is my top priority!

Pet care experience

Since I was in middle school, friends and neighbors would rely on me to watch not only their dogs, but their cats, fish, guinea pigs— even geckos! I’ve had experience caring for dogs rescued from tough situations, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs who just don’t get along with other dogs.

Marina is especially considerate of Rosie’s personality when planning their activities. She also offered her special treats on the warm days! We know Rosie is well taken care of while we are away!

Marina is fantastic! She did a great job with sitting Riley. She was very communicative, and you can tell that she knows what your dog needs. Lots of walks and plenty of photos to show how happy Riley was staying with her. We’ll be adding her to our rotation of consistent sitters for our pup.

I loved having Marina babysit Ahsoka. She constantly sent me pictures and appreciated her wonderful personality. I would love to use her again.
