I have a fenced in yard and leash walk my little tot. We also have a lot of land behind us so I will run outside with the pug often.

Information marina o. would like to know about your pet

It would be cool to know if your dog is older or has any aggressive tendencies. If they have any tell tale signs it would be nice to know. I would also like to know if there is additional dogs!

A typical day

I wake up feed and walk my dog and go to school. I come back around lunch to take my dog outside and then go back to school. At night we go on another walk and eat dinner. We will usually watch a movie before we go to bed.

Marina was incredible with Ruger. She sent photo updates that put us completely at ease and you could tell he was having the best time. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly adores dogs. We’d 100% recommend her and we’re so grateful we chose her. If I lived in Austin she would be my choice every time and when we visit there again I will request her every time.

So sweet!! She watched my sweet old lady yorkie-poo and didn’t have any problems! Gave her lots and love and made sure to always keep me updated! 10/10 such a sweet young lady!

Marina is my old athlete from Sam Houston State University. She would walk my Rhodesian Ridgeback every day before our lifts. She took great care of Cody Jo (my dog) and treated her like family. I loved having Marina around because she is attentive to detail and hardworking. We would have many dogs in and out of the training room and they always seemed to go to her first.

Marina is a fantastic caretaker and has an excellent personality. She was an excellent communicator who I had no problem trusting and I will absolutely look for her in the future! I could almost hear my doggos crying when she left! LOL 😂 But it is easy to tell she wholeheartedly cares for and enjoys spending time with the pets while she is working, and I cannot recommend her enough. #DogDad
