Dogs are my passion!

Pet care experience

Dogs are my passion. I am available for dog walking and dog sitting and training services in the Northern Baltimore County area and the nearby PA area. I have owned and trained dogs for over 30 years. I have competed for over 15 years in many performance sports, including obedience, rally, nose work, dock diving, barn hunt and more. I have extensive experience in dog training from manners and basic Obedience to competition sports. I love helping owner to train their dogs and puppies. I struggled in the past to find reliable and experienced dog sitters and walkers for my own dogs, so I decided to help others and offer my services. Please contact me to discuss your dog’s needs. I will be happy to help and also can provide references.

Marina is one of the most knowledgeable dog people I know. There has never been a time when I needed advise or help that she wasn’t willing to assist and have many useful resources available to share. Her love and knowledge of animals is second to none. I don’t know anyone that I would feel more comfortable leaving my dogs with, not only because she would be able to handle any unexpected situation, she also would ensure that my dogs receive the best care.

Our dog isn't a pet, she's a full member of our family and although we generally take her with us when we travel, sometimes we simply must go places that just aren't dog friendly. When that happens, there are very few people that we trust to take care of our girl, but Marina is always our first choice. Our dog is Giant Schnauzer, which is not an easy breed to manage, but Marina's skills and experience in dog training and behavior allow her to care for even the craziest dog. There is no one more trustworthy or responsible and the best part...our dog loves her! Very highly recommend!!

She has tons of great training and nutrition advice, very reliable, answers questions at all hours, I'd trust her 100% with all of my pets!

Marina is an incredible fountain of knowledge regarding canine training, nutrition, health care and behavior. She has many decades of experience in showing and working with dogs of various breeds and literally countless accolades and awards. Refreshingly honest and down-to-earth, Marina is the only person I trust to care for my dog as I do (or even better!) and the first person I turn to for advice. In the day of the money centered "pet franchise", such a knowledgeable, responsible and caring person, working with dogs for all the other reasons... Is a rare find!
