Big house with a private dog park
Pet care experience
We have a big house with a large all-fenced backyard that I call a private dog park. Dogs rule in this house. I love dogs and have been taking care of them since I was a kid. I currently have a 9 year old French bulldog/ Boston Terrier. She would be a perfect companion and playmate for the visiting dogs. In addition to playing in the backyard, we go for walks and hikes to nearby parks every day. My work schedule is flexible and I can work from home when needed. Dogs get lots of cuddles and attention, and treats. I make sure they socialize, get quality and fun play time, and feel like home away from home. I send daily updates with photos.
Reviews
Pickles had a wonderful time with Marina, as always! It’s so nice to have a safe place to drop him when we leave town!
We are repeat customers of Marina’s and always feel that our dog is in great hands when he stays with her. She takes wonderful care of him and he adores staying there! We highly recommend Marina to anyone looking for a sitter!
We always feel secure in leaving Pickles with Marina. He enjoys his stays with her immensely!
Marina is absolutely the best! Our dogs always love their time at her place. Her yard is large, she has lots of toys, and most importantly she sends lots of pictures of our sweet doggies so we don't miss them as much while we're away.

Our backyard is all-fenced and I make sure that dog are never left unsupervised there. I can accommodate most of the dogs needs. We have plenty of dog beds and toys in the house. We also have water bowls throughout the house and outside to ensure dogs stay hydrated. While I don’t have kids, my teenage nice visits during summer months and all dogs love hanging out with her.

Information Marina M. would like to know about your pet
Any behavioral issues, especially any aggression with respect to people or dogs. Does the dog have issues with thunder and fireworks and, if yes, what is the best way to calm them down. Potty preferences (inside, outside, frequency). Food restrictions and any allergies. Medical needs.
A typical day
We do walks to nearby parks daily. Longer hikes during weekends. Dogs can spend as much time as they want in our all-fenced backyard. We also like cozy evenings on the couch by fireplace.

Availability
I currently work from home and can accommodate most of the routines for visiting dogs. Dogs get plenty of outdoor time in all-fenced our backyard. I usually don’t board more than two visiting dogs at a time. I may consider boarding more than two dogs at a time when visiting dogs have established friendship and enjoy each other’s company.
