Availability
I work from home and make my own schedule, which is why I can be available almost any day and at any time, unless I am traveling. During my visits, I follow your pet's normal schedules as closely as possible, provide plenty of attention and activities, and send regular updates with photos and videos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. For dog-walking services, we will walk in your neighborhood. At this time, I cannot accept pitbull-type breeds. My standard house-sitting appointment includes a 12-hour overnight stay (hours can be discussed, for instance 8 pm - 8 am), with an evening and morning pet care (food, water, medication, companionship, playtime, and a 20-25 mins walk for dogs) and one or maximum 2 midday visits, if needed (food, water, medication, and a shorter potty break) between the overnight stays. I am free to leave the house after the morning care and before the evening care to attend to my other duties, for about 4-5 hours at a time. In most cases, I cannot offer your pets a 24/7 constant care, but your house will be my home base for the time of the reservation (if that is what you need) and I will spend at least 15 hours a day there. When I have less outside duties some days, I will spend more time with your pets. If your pets need potty breaks more often than every 4-5 hours, or you need a midday visit before the first house-sitting night or after the last house-sitting night, please discuss this with me. If I am able to offer an additional midday drop- in or drop-ins, please add these extra drop-in visits to your reservation. For households with multiple pets (4+), an additional drop-in visit fee may be waived.

Safety, trust & environment
I offer cat and dog sitting services and drop-in visits in your house, as well as dog walks. I do not offer boarding at our house, at least not yet, because we have two senior cats with very different personalities, and their comfort and safety are our priority. During my visit, I can also bring in your mail, water your plants, etc. To start a job, I will familiarize myself with the information that pet parents have already provided on the platform. I will continue with a free meet-and-greet to learn about your pet's routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special needs.
Information Marina M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs ahead of time. A brief summary outlining your pet's medical issues and information on your preferred veterinarian is also essential.

Pet care experience
I hope to become the next best friend for your fur babies. As a dedicated cat and dog caretaker, I understand that every pet is the true ruler of their household, and I am there to serve their royal needs :) Whether your companion prefers playtime, scratches, or a walk, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. My goal is to keep your pet happy and your home secure. With regular updates, photos, and videos, you will feel confident that your pet is in caring hands. I don't drink or smoke (anything) so I will stay alert and responsible 100% of time. I also like all things clean, so I will always clean up after myself and will not wear outside shoes inside your house. I am still relatively new to the professional pet-sitting world, but I have had pets, both dogs and cats, my entire life. I have been helping my friends and family with various pet-sitting needs, as well. My husband and I currently have two wonderful senior cats who have very different personalities, past life experiences, and challenges, as we adopted both from a shelter. We are planning to adopt a dog in the future as well, but we don't have one right now, and I really miss this special dog-human partnership, which is why I am really excited to become friends with your dog :) I believe that pets are our true friends and family members, and I will always treat your pets with the same care and respect. I am very reliable and detail-oriented, so you can definitely count on me. I speak fluent English and Russian languages.

Reviews
Marina did a great job taking care of our pets when we had to go out of town on short notice. I know they are in good hands with her.
Marina was great. She took great care of our small zoo and shared regular updates with pictures. It felt good that we could focus on our travel and know that our pets were in good hands. I highly recommend her.
I'm a musician and travel quite a bit for work, so finding someone I could trust with my cat was really important. Marina has taken care of my cat many times, and I honestly can't recommend her enough. She's incredibly reliable and genuinely loves cats. She also pays attention to the little things and always makes sure my cat gets plenty of affection and playtime. Strongly recommend to anyone looking for an amazing cat sitter!
Marina is a true caregiver for every cat she finds, or that finds her. She and her husband, Adam, were the loving parents of their cat, Nugget, for many years. They now have 2 cats they rescued. Marina has taken care of my cats, and she does a wonderful job. You will know your pet will be loved and well cared for.
