Why I love dog sitting I have had a dog since I was a child. I have always loved dogs, especially rescues. Having another dog or two around gives my dog a chance to socialize & play while I work. (Otherwise he just sits in my lap or at my feet)

Information Marina M. would like to know about your pet

Any special needs or concerns and favorite things to do. If there are any special commands your dog knows or needs reinforced. No breed preference, I love all types of dogs.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks My dog and I take at least two walks per day. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever he/she is most comfortable. My dog sleeps with me, but I also have several dog beds spread throughout the house. My dog is allowed on the furniture, and yours would be too, unless you don't allow that at home. If you crate your dog, please bring one with you. Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home, so I am here all day. I would not leave your dog alone if they are staying with us unless you are comfortable with that, and even then I would likely only be running a short errand in the neighborhood.

Pet care experience

I work from home (even pre-pandemic) with my terrier mix assistant, Mochi. I have many years of experience with dogs, as pets and as a volunteer at a local animal shelter. Not currently accepting new clients, as Mochi is now a grumpy old man and not interested in new friends.

Apple loves Marina and Mochi, and she is always in such good hands. I love getting pictures of her looking so content while she's in Marina's care!

I always feel completely comfortable leaving my senior dog with Marina. She gives the snuggles my dog loves, and her dog Mochi is a seeet companion to my dog too. I also love the pics she sends each day. Always such a positive experience!
