Life Long Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

From the start I have been an animal lover, and it is a passion I have shaped into a career working at the Philadelphia Zoo. Growing up I had two family dogs and currently have my own. My current dog was rescued out of an abuse situation, and with time, patience, and love he has stopped being the shy, skittish dog he once was. I understand the need to make dogs feel as comfortable as possible in new situations, and would give them a calm space to have that while you are away. I am located right next to a park and am just a few blocks away from the Wissahickon Trails, so your pup would get plenty of walks! I also have a fenced in yard for off leash play time. I have experience administering oral medication and feel completely comfortable doing so. I also have a lot of experience with exotics, if you have those that need care as well!

Marina took great care of our dog Miles and was very communicative during his stay. We received pictures and updates throughout the weekend which was much appreciated. We will definitely board Miles with her again in the near future.

Marina was great with Maya! Their home is beautiful and they have a nice back yard for the dogs to run around and play. It was great receiving the daily updates and pictures of Maya and their dog Fell together. I felt very comfortable leaving Maya with Marina and will definitely be considering her to watch Maya again in the future.

Would give them six stars if the app allowed! Marina is an awesome option for your dog boarding needs. She is very responsive, great about the meet and greet before, and extremely responsible and caring for the dogs needs and wants. We got regular updates and pictures, which made us feel very comfortable and allowed us to travel with no concerns. Gatsby and her dog Fell got a long so well, I think they were actually bummed when we picked him up and ended their play date. We were only away for a couple of days, but we had no worries about Gatsby and knew he was in really good hands. We will definitely use again, thanks so much!

Marina is incredible!! She was quick to respond to our request, met with us ahead of time to introduce our dogs and sent daily updates. This was our first time leaving our dog and it could not have been easier or smoother. I definitely recommend Marina and will continue to book through her in the future.
