I Am The Expert Dog Spoiler

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs (and cats) since I was born! I have always been the biggest animal lover! I currently have 2 of my own fur babies - Melody, my sweet baby girl I rescued from the humane society and my newest addition - Treble - the cutest little rescue mutt! Both music lovers obviously! Unfortunately, my cat Ella recently passed away. Anyone that knows me will tell you I love dogs and cats more than most people and treat them like family. I have a lot of experience dog sitting for families in the Atlanta area (where I'm originally from) and Baton Rouge, LA (where I just moved from) am hoping to find some sweet pets here in Corpus Christi to sit for! I'm happy to go to your house to walk and check on your dog / would love to have your dog come to me! And your dog will have another playful dog to play with and become friends with! There is no other place I'd like to be than cuddling a precious pup on the couch. I also consider myself an expert dog massager and brusher; and I am happy to wash your dog if they happen to get dirty outside. I also have experience with dogs with anxiety / trauma (my mom's / family dog is special needs). I am very comfortable giving your dog / cat any medicine he or she requires as well. I have experience giving my late cat insulin for her diabetes, so i can assure you i know what i'm doing and how important medication can be. My fiancé and I live in a house together, so if you are not comfortable with your dog being around my dogs, that is okay, because I can come to you! I have multiple pet sitting references that I would be happy to send you upon request. I would also love to tell you more about myself or meet you and your pet in person before I work with y'all.

Marina was wonderful. She enjoyed my Bella and so did her dogs. They had a really good first day. Sadly, Bella must have been nervous or marking her territory because she pooped and pee’d on her carpet overnight. Bella has never pee’d or pooped inside so I don’t know why this happened. I had to pick her up the next day. Bella only stayed for 24 hours but she had a really great playful time.

Marina was great! She texted us with pictures to let us know that our fur babies had been on a walk! She is trustworthy and we will hire her again. While we are on vacation, it’s nice to able to enjoy activities and know our pets are taken care of from our motorhome! Carole Fleming

Couldn’t recommend Marina more!!!!! Sent photos every day, let my pup snuggle with her in bed and on the couch. She really will love your pet like her own! Will definitely be reaching out to Marina again! 10 gold stars!

Information Marina M. would like to know about your pet

i have zero breed preferences. I would like to make sure your dog is okay around other dogs, before they come stay with me and my dogs though.

A typical day

We will go on neighborhood walks or the occasional walk around the park. We can play tug-of-war or fetch, whichever you prefer. I am also able to work on any dog tricks like "sit" and "shake" etc. You will get to play with my sweet and energetic dogs. Also, happy to take your dog to the dog park if you prefer. And we will most definitely enjoy lots of cuddles and kisses!
