Pet care experience

I was chosen by a tortoiseshell❤️

What sets me apart from other sitters is my 10 years of experience caring for cats. I’m dedicated to ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. I’m comfortable with administering medications and have a keen eye for detail when it comes to deep-cleaning litter boxes. I understand that each cat has its own personality and needs, so I tailor my care to make sure they feel safe and content. My love for cats means I always go the extra mile to provide them with the attention they deserve!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard with two dogs and a house cat. There's a gate between the front and back yards, so we can separate them if necessary. I believe in treating all animals with love and patience, and I will always treat them with respect and kindness, providing a safe space for them.

Marina was amazing (as always) and even cared for our cat with 5 minute’s notice when our travel got delayed!

Marina goes above and beyond taking care of our cat! She was our rover for over a year and was always kind, on time, and took extra steps to ensure our cat was taken care of. Your pet's in good hands with her, every time.

Marina is an incredibly conscientious pet sitter who watered our plants and sent us pictures of them in addition to caring for our cat. She spent lots of time with our cat and even offered to come by a second time in one day when our cat seemed stressed. She’s the best!

Marina did a great job! Our two cats seemed pretty content when we returned from our weekend trip.

Schedule

Both my partner and I love dogs and work from home, which gives me the flexibility to set my own schedule. I don't have a fixed routine, but we can discuss and find what works best for both of us.

Cats
Marina can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if there are any special needs or specific behaviors I should be aware of. I’m comfortable with scared cats or reactive dogs, but it’s important for me to prepare properly so we can build a strong bond and ensure their comfort.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
