About Marina O.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them according to their schedule, providing fresh water, walks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I make sure their living areas stay clean, administer medications if needed, and monitor their health and behavior for any changes. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they're away. In addition, I respect my clients' homes by keeping everything tidy and secure.

With love to dogs !

Pet care experience

"What sets me apart is that I treat every dog as an individual, not just another booking. I take the time to learn each dog's routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I prioritize clear communication by providing regular updates, photos, and quick responses. I'm also dependable, attentive to safety, and focused on maintaining the same level of care and consistency that the dog receives at home

Marina has been great with my dog, Gigi. From the start, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like they're her own. Gigi is always happy and comfortable with her, which gives me so much peace of mind. Marina is reliable, caring, and easy to communicate with. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet.
