NEW CLIENT LINK: https://www.rover.com/sit/marinv60359 NEW CLIENT Promo Code: MARINV60359 My name is Marina and I'm fun, energetic and loving. I grew up with dogs my whole life. They aren't just pets but part of the family. I will care for your fur-baby as if he or she were my own. Morning and evening walks, scheduled breakfast and dinners, and playtime are guaranteed. The occasional snack too if you will allow it. My goal is for them to be as comfortable as possible, so I will do my very best to stick to their current routine...just provide me with all the info. They will definitely receive lots of love and attention. I have two children who love and adore pets. I have a two year old Hound mix named Baker. He’s very playful and energetic at times but can also be laid back. He gets along great with other dogs. I recently got a new pup, Ashe. He is a five month old Shihpoo. He thinks he's just as big as his brother. He is very energetic and playful. He does great with other dogs. When caring for you furbaby, I will send tons of photos and keep you updated on their stay. If you have any questions, please let me know. I want you to be at ease while away knowing your furbaby is being well cared for. I'm always available through text, email, and phone calls.

Marina always takes great care of our dogs. She has a patient way with our needy coonhound mix which we so appreciate. Marina is reliable, punctual and kind. Thank you again, Marina.

Marina was very professional and took great care of our two dogs. Our coonhound mix has many needs and Marina showed patience and kindness in dealing with her. We were also grateful that she could attend to our dogs on two separate appointments so we could enjoy a family day.

Marina took such great care of my puppy. It was obvious that there was a genuine love for her when Jaida didn’t want to leave, she was having so much fun! It’s nice to know I have the flexibility of obtaining care for my dog as a single parent! Thank you so much. 😊

Marina is amazing! She took such good care of our girls while we were away for the weekend. Not only did she care for them but she included them daily activities. Our senior girl is pretty picky on who she likes to be around and she warmed up to Marina immediately. They both loved being with her! We highly recommend Marina.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day really depends on your fur baby. I have two dogs are energetic and one not so much (he’s really laid back). They are all extremely friendly, so when they aren't playing with your fur baby, I take will take them for daily walks.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavior that I can account for. I do not have a breed preference. I do like to schedule meet and greets (if possible) before your dog's stay to make sure they get along with my fur babies. My dogs usually get along with everyone, but I like to make sure.
