Marina was so great with my dogs! I have 4 medium to XL dogs that are well mannered but can be a handful. She handled all of their personalities and sent detailed updates and photos throughout the visit. We will definitely reach out to her again for our next trip! We are so relieved to find a sitter!

Marina was absolutely wonderful with my cat Sema! 🐾 From the very beginning, she was incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and detail-oriented. Sema doesn’t like being home alone, so it meant a lot to me to find someone who could truly keep him company and make him feel comfortable and Marina did exactly that. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and clearly cared about Sema’s routine, comfort, and happiness. I could tell he was in great hands, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but Marina exceeded all my expectations. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and genuinely caring sitter and I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much, Marina! 💛

Marina did an absolutely wonderful job talking care of our beloved cat, Barabulya, for an entire week while we on vacation. From the very beginning, she was attentive, responsible and genuinely caring. She made sure that Barabulya was well fed, comfortable and calm, spent time playing with him, and paid closed attention to his habits and mood. Marina kept us updated, which gave us great piece of mind while we were away. When we returned home, Barabulya was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for - the best sign we could ask for. It was obvious that Marina treated our cat as if he was her own. We are incredibly grateful for her help and would absolutely trust her again with our pet. Highly recommended!

I’ve known Marina for a long time, and she has always been incredibly caring and responsible with animals. She is calm, attentive, and genuinely loves pets. Marina treats every animal with patience and kindness, and I would confidently trust her with my own pets anytime.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for to ensure calm, attentive supervision and regular potty breaks every 2–4 hours. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to follow each pet’s specific routine and needs.
