I use our time for walks, drop-ins, feeding, and giving your pet one-on-one attention. I’m very intentional about keeping a routine that lets me be reliable and fully present with every animal I care for.

Safety, trust & environment

In your home, I make sure your pet stays on their normal routine — feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication. I give them lots of attention and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll have a safe, calm space and plenty of supervision and enrichment. I only care for one family at a time to ensure safety and comfort for your pets.

Information Marina Q. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, temperament, energy level, and any medical or behavioral needs. Please share feeding instructions, medications, allergies, walk preferences, crate routines, and how your pet interacts with other animals and people. Anything that helps me keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable is helpful to know in advance.

A typical day

I love making each visit fun! Depending on your pet, this might mean walks, fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle toys, snuffle mats, training games, or just relaxing together if they prefer calm time. I always adjust activities to match your pet’s energy and needs so they feel entertained and cared for.

Animal Sciences Graduate

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science. I previously worked full-time in animal care and have previous experience in a veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on knowledge in handling pets with a wide range of needs. I also volunteer as a foster with the Humane Society, so I’m very comfortable caring for animals of all temperaments and backgrounds. Rover is my full time job. I make sure to reserve dedicated time to give your pets the attention, care, and love they deserve. I’m open to all species, from dogs and cats to more unique companions, and I’m committed to keeping your pet happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Pricing is very important and is a factor when choosing the perfect sitter! Please send me details of your budget and what your expectations are and we can work something out that works for the both of us!

Marina was AMAZING. My baby had the best time and was under such great care with her. She made sure he was safe, had a full tummy, and was happy everyday and I can’t begin to thank her enough. I can’t imagine using any other sitter or boarding service other than her now that I’ve seen how awesome she is. You can tell she truly cares about these babies and it’s really comforting to see that. Would 1000% recommend to anyone looking for care for their animals!

Marina was awesome! We booked last minute but Marina was very accommodating. She kept us updated, sent us photos, and made us feel comfortable with being away from our dog! We definitely recommend Marina!
