I love to play like your pup does
Pet care experience
I am a total animal lover. Not just dogs and cats but all animals both domestic and wild. I've had many pets since I was a small child and I have a great passion and love for all our furry friends. I have a wonderful home and safety is very important to me. We live next door to a dog park and also Holmes Run Park where I can bring dogs for a long walks. Please know that your dog will be treated like my own, and I only give healthy snacks!! Besides the apartments in Alexandria, we also have a house at Chincoteague Island. And sometimes over the weekend I bring pups with me there. We have a big fully fenced yard there, horses behind the fence and a doggy swimming pool for hot days. We drive there in my mini van, that properly assembled with crates for a comfortable ride. All my pups love to go to the beach house, it’s like a true vacay for them. ******Please Note! Charges got changed:****** - extra charge $10 per day will be applied for medium size dogs 15-30 lb. -extra charge $20 per day will be applied for medium-large size dogs 30-45 lb. - extra charge of $13 per day may apply for puppies (depending on breed, under 1-2 years old). - large or x-large dogs will be accepted for walking and home visits only, not for day care or boarding). - extra charge up to $15 per day applies on holidays and holiday weekends. - day care fee will be applied to your boarding reservation when care is more than 24 hours. For example if you are dropping off your pup in the morning, but picking up the next day noon, afternoon or evening than there should be a day care fee added. Boarding charge covering up to 24 hours, day care charge up to 12 hours. - PLEASE refrain from contacting me via phone, text or email between the hours of 9 pm and 7am as I might sleep or rest during these hours!

Reviews
Marina was amazing! I will definitely schedule her again. Very pleased with how she cared for my cat while I was away.
I could not imagine finding a better dog sitter than Marina. We just took a week vacation and boarded our dog, Oliver, with Marina. She was incredibly professional and kept us continually updated with what Oliver was doing, both with pictures and videos. Thank you so much Marina!!!!
Marina did a wonderful job with our dog Charlie this past week. She sent photos, kept us posted on how our dog was getting along, and was very responsive to our inquiries. Her caring approach was terrific. I recommend her highly and will use her in the future.
Marina is so great! I got updates and pictures and our dogs looked so relaxed .. thank you so much and we will definitely use her again!

When dogs with me for day care or boarding: on average I provide 4-6 walks per day and if the weather is nice - visit to the dog park ones a day. When we are at the house at Chincoteague Island - pups have even more freedom, we have a big fully fenced back yard and doggy pool on hot summer days. I provide dogs with plenty of water at all times, shade and cooling spots, making sure that dogs never overheated. At the house we have plenty of space, crates if needed and AC, of course. We do have lots of toys for dogs to play with.

Information Marina T. would like to know about your pet
All dogs and cats must be up to date on their vaccinations. Need to know about any medical conditions and medications that your pet must take. Do they have any disciplinary problems?

Availability
Pet sitting, grooming and pet training- is all I do and it is my full time job. I do this 24/7 and very rarely take a day off or vacation. However, please try to book in advance as this summer is busy for me and I’m getting fully booked up every day. My husband is assisting me when he is free from his job.
