Love being active with pups!
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Marina and I’m a special education teacher who likes to stay busy in the summers. I have a beagle named Sampson who we rescued three years ago. The breeds I regularly watch range from miniature labradoodles, labrador retrievers, portuguese water dogs, and poodles. Since I’ve moved within the past year I love exploring the Columbus area. I have worked in the summers at Flying Horse Farms a camp for children with serious illnesses. There I worked alongside the Columbus Zoo trainers and their dogs. It amazes me the healing power that dogs can have! I obviously love dogs but in my spare time I love hiking, camping, walks/runs in the park, and boating. I enjoy having a companion when going for runs and walks. I’m confident bathing dogs, cleaning any messes, and making sure your pooch is exercised enough! My availability is more open May through August. I’m very flexible with your preferences of activities or specific care requirements! Please let me know what times work best for you.
Reviews
Marina is my family’s go-to dogsitter every time we take a vacation. She has been a family friend for years, and in that time, she has demonstrated how loving she is toward animals. Because of her inherent caring nature, my family fully trusts her to look after our two dogs while we’re away. We hate putting our dogs in kennels, and so it’s comforting to know that Marina is willing and eager to watch them for us. Not only do we know that she properly cares for them, but we know that she has fun with them, too. While away, we receive multiple photos and videos from her with the dogs. Whether walking the dogs in our neighborhood or taking them to the dog park, she always makes their wellbeing a priority. I can’t say enough good things about Marina.
Marina has been very helpful with our dog Tucker. She is always responsible and we know that Tucker is in good hands. She also is very loving and he is always excited to see her.

My only preference is that your dog is not aggressive or territorial of space. In addition if your dog has any fears or special needs please let me know.
A typical day
I love exploring new parks and trails. If your dog is more active, I don’t mind taking him/ her along on my runs! If your dog enjoys the company of another dog, I can always bring my dog along as well.
