I work from home 4 days each week and have flexible hours which allow for the perfect environment to look after a dog. I have a one hour lunch break which again is flexible if we end up taking a slightly longer walk. I am very active and wake up between 6-8am each day and love getting out for a walk at this time. My place of work is also dog friendly.

Information Marina P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any specific needs that I can accommodate for as I am happy to adapt and help wherever I can.

A typical day

We’ll explore all the fields and walks for your dog to discover, most of these allowing them to have some time to run off the lead if the owner is happy to, and explore all the new smells. Next to my house is also a large green park which we can play a variety of games to keep them engaged and happy.

Marina P.'s Neighborhood

Fun and caring dog lover who loves a country walk

Pet care experience

I’ve lived and cared for dogs for over 10 years, growing up with two cocker spaniels. More recently I’ve lived and cared for a King Charles spaniel and two Australian Shepherds which has given me lots of experience with high energy dogs that need lots of physical and mental stimulation. I have experience taking care of friends and family members dogs over long weekends in my current home which has always been great as the location is right next to some lovely country walks, both long and short, to fit to your pup’s needs. For all the dogs I’ve cared for I give them lots of love, attention and cuddles, and do whatever I can to make them as comfortable and happy as possible.

Lexi always has a great stay with Marina and Will. She excitedly runs to see them, is very well cared for and we receive regular communication and updates throughout her stay. Thank you!

First time leaving Rocky & Ruby so we were a little anxious. Met up with Marina & Will for a meet & greet and instantly felt at ease. On our 6 days away we had photos and updates which was nice as we could see they were not fretting ( Rocky & Ruby) don't know about Marina & Will..lol..on our return the doggies were happy and contended. Would definitely recommend Marina & Will to look after your fur babies.

Oz had a wonderful time with Marina and Will. This was our first time leaving Oz with strangers and we couldn’t be happier with how it went - Marina and Will were so great before hand getting to know everything about Oz, and so brilliant during his stay sending lots of updates. His happy face and running towards a their door says it all. They clearly love looking after dogs and are so thoughtful and knowledgeable in doing so. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to another dog owner.
