Experienced Vet Tech and Pet Owner

Pet care experience

I have cared for dogs and cats my entire life both at home and in a veterinary setting. I have worked as a veterinary technician for four years and come from a dog-friendly family (my dad is a veterinarian!). I have also volunteered at several shelters/rescues over the years. I have two small dogs of my own, but have cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I also care for a senior dog and have experience administering oral medication. I love going on walks/hikes and would be happy to take your pup to the park or trails! I can also provide transportation when necessary and pet care on short notice. I'd love to care for your dog or cat, so please don't hesitate to reach out!

Marina was wonderful with our 9 year old boxer. Reliable, mature and good instincts with Nina who has some health issues. We were fortunate to find her and will definitely use her again.

Marina did an amazing job checking in on my Inky Girl (cat) ❤️ She made me feel care free on my vacation knowing she was checking on her while I was away. Will book again!!

Marina took excellent care of our 4 month old kittens. She was easy to work with, very responsive, and sent fun pictures while we were away. I would highly recommend her!

It’s my goal to provide your pet a safe and comfortable experience! I am attentive and reach out if anything concerning does come up. I treat the client’s home just as I’d hope a guest would treat mine.

Information Marina M. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences at all! Before caring for your dog, I'd like to know: - Does he/she get along with kids or other dogs? - Does he/she take any medications? - Is he/she crate-trained and housebroken? - Does he/she like car rides? - Where do you normally take him/her for a walk? Does your dog have a favorite park?

A typical day

I love going on hikes and would be happy to take your dog to a dog park or hiking trail! If you prefer to keep your fur baby close to home, we can go for a long neighborhood walk.
