Pet care experience

Treating them like family, always.

I’ve cared for dogs since I can remember, and every one of my pets has been treated like a beloved family member. Most of my own dogs have been rescues, some with challenging pasts, which has taught me patience, consistency, and how to help dogs feel safe and confident. I enjoy training dogs of all ages, with a special focus on puppies to help them develop good habits early, reinforcing manners, building trust with anxious or shy dogs. I love taking dogs on walks, exploring the beach and swimming together, or simply spending quality time together. I can also help families develop a healthy diet for their dogs, drawing from my experience managing pets’ nutrition for long, happy lives. Excited to meet new pups and share love, fun, and adventure!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I’m home most of the day, and they’ll get plenty of love and attention. I usually keep dogs on a leash around people, but in secure spaces, I love letting them enjoy some leash-free time (only if trusted and comfortable) so they can run, play, and get great exercise.

Marina can host up to 1 pet per night
If your dog has any particular fears, anxiety triggers, or specific daily habits, I’d love to know about them so I can make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in every way. I believe it’s very important not to change their routine during their stay and to keep things as familiar as possible.
