Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Marina (: Nothing makes me happier than spending time with animals. I've always had a special connection with dogs and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I have 2 rescue dogs of my own and am experienced in responding to various personalities and temperaments. No two dogs are the same, and it’s important to respect for each animal’s unique needs and boundaries. You can relax while you're away, knowing I'll give your pup all the affection, attention, and exercise you would. People describe me as reliable, honest, and mature with a positive attitude. References available upon request. I look forward to meeting and getting to know your dog!
Reviews
I have known Marina M. in her capacity as a lover of animals for years. She is by far the most empathetic dog-owner and caretaker that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I have watched her care for pets with a love that is genuine. One was a dog that was very old and near the end of life. For some time she stroked and cared for the animal, attentive to its every need. I believe she has the ability to care for and even communicate with just about any animal. She has proven her ability as an excellent and loving dog caregiver.
I have personally witnessed Marina's compassion and love for ALL animals, but especially dogs. Marina's empathy for animals has driven her to be a vegetarian since she was 12 years old. It certainly wasn't because she loved vegetables! She relates to animals more in depth emotionally than the norm. Her enthusiasm for dogs and her interest and caring for them is exceptional.

Safety, trust & environment
I can provide a full scope of in-home care. However, I’m living with my parents at the moment so I will not be able to bring dogs into my own home.
Information Marina M. would like to know about your pet
Anxieties, preferences, and degree of socialization are most important for me to know. And then of course dietary needs, range of mobility, and typical routine.
A typical day
I think dogs in general need a variety of experience, but it’s also important to meet them where they’re at. Neighborhood walks are great, especially for dogs with limited mobility. Trails are good for putting paws on the earth and unlocking some wolve-ish ancestry. If your dog is friendly, dog parks can also be a great place for them to socialize. Even if we’re just lounging, I think it’s important to give dogs plenty of time outside. And of course, lots of pets and cuddles!!

I’m currently working part-time at a coffee shop, so my hours are flexible and I should have plenty of time to spend with and care for your pup.
