Happy Tails Guaranteed!

Pet care experience

My journey into pet sitting began during summers in France, where I discovered a deep love for caring for animals. The joy of forming connections with furry companions and ensuring their happiness became a true passion. Now, as I settle into life in Pittsburgh for my studies, I am happy to continue this fulfilling work. I look forward to providing the same level of love and attention that has always defined my approach to pet sitting.

Marina was an absolute delight! She took the challenges of sitting our 10 week old lab pup in stride, showing Dr. Fuzz the utmost love, care, and grace. She provided regular updates and was extremely responsive (which absolutely eased our concerns with boarding a pup so new and so young). I would absolutely recommend Marina if you are looking for the perfect home-away-from-home for your four-legged friend 😊

Thank you for caring for Bo on such a short notice and thanks for the updates throughout his stay. He looks happy and healthy back at home so I'm grateful for the care given to him. 🙏

Marina took care of my cat Mia for a weekend, and everything went perfect! Mia got all the cuddles she needed and felt comfortable in Marina's care. Marina is not only great with pets but also a really nice person. I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I prioritize the well-being and comfort of pets by creating a safe and nurturing environment. Regular feeding schedules and access to fresh water are maintained to meet their dietary needs. Additionally, I provide many opportunities for exercise and outdoor activities, taking advantage of the close proximity of Point State Park, which is just 3 minutes away from my apartment! I try to keep pets happy and healthy by offering plenty of love, attention, and companionship.

Information Marina P. would like to know about your pet

Health Information: It's important to know if the pet has any health issues, allergies, or takes any medicine. Also, knowing the vet's contact details is good in case of emergencies. Food Preferences: Understanding what the pet likes to eat and when they usually eat helps in making sure they're fed properly. Behavior: Learning about the pet's personality and habits helps in knowing how to interact with them and keep them happy. Activity Level: Knowing how much exercise the pet needs and what activities they enjoy helps in keeping them active and entertained. House Rules: Learning any rules or routines the pet is used to helps in making them feel comfortable and safe. Emergency Contacts: Having the owner's or emergency contact's phone number is important in case something unexpected happens.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I watch starts with giving them food and water in the morning. We then go for a walk or play together to start the day with fun. Throughout the day, I make sure they have regular bathroom breaks, meals, and rest time. As for fun activities, I like playing games with them, like fetch or using toys. We might also go for walks in the park or play indoors if the weather isn't good. I make sure that each pet receives the love and attention they deserve throughout the day. Overall, I aim to make sure the pets I watch have a happy and enjoyable day with plenty of playtime, rest, and love.
