Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life, recently lost my dog of 12 years and a cat of 15 years so I am filling the void by helping friends and neighbors to care for their fur babies

Marina, you are such an amazing cat sitter. I cannot say enough incredible things about the care you provided. You kept us informed with updates, pictures and videos; we felt so at ease throughout our entire trip. You gave Max so much love and the best company while we were away. We will absolutely book you again in the future! Thank you so much.

Oh Marina, we adore you!! If you’ve taken the time to read any or all of Marina’s other reviews, no one is exaggerating when they say that she is an absolute gem and an incredible caretaker! This was our first time ever using Rover to hire someone to care for our 2 dogs, chickens, and our family members dog at our house while we were out of town getting married! Marina stole our dogs hearts by the first meet and greet, and we knew right away that she was the one! Marina is so very sweet, caring, loving, and trustworthy and we knew the whole time that we were gone that our dogs were in the best hands. She sent us the cutest videos while we were gone, along with a plethora of Vogue status dog model shots all throughout our trip. She also spoiled them with treats and bones and even a new toy which my dog has been carrying around ever since. She left our home in spotless condition (which is a very difficult feat with two big dogs who are constantly shedding and getting into dirt and trouble in the backyard) and even cleaned our sheets for us before we got home. We seriously can’t thank or recommend her enough and we are forever grateful for her and her love and care to our babies. ☺️🤗

Where to begin—we have too many good things to say about Marina! In a nutshell, we are anxious parents and this is the first time we hired a sitter for our boy (imagine our anxiety!), and Marina eased our worries and took such great care of our baby Scotch! She stayed in our home with Scotch and with her patience and warmth, our boy warmed up to her and had a relaxing, enjoyable time while we were out of town. Marina will truly love and care for your fur babies like they are her own. She truly is compassionate, trustworthy, patient, and communicative. She was on top of Scotch’s medication as well, including other necessities specific to his needs. We are so blessed to have found our go-to sitter! Thank you so much, Marina! 🥹❤️

Marina takes such great care of Buttercup. She had no problem taking on the extra task of administering eye medication several times a day. It feels like leaving my sweet girl with family :)
