Where Pets are Family!

Hi there! Hola! My name is Marines, and I'm delighted to introduce myself as your go-to pet sitter. Originating from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, I've been immersed in the company of pets since the day I was born. Growing up in a household dedicated to rescuing stray dogs, I've nurtured a profound love and understanding for our furry companions. With a bustling home that often housed 4 or more pups simultaneously, I've cultivated invaluable experience in caring for a diverse array of breeds and personalities. But my passion extends beyond dogs alone—I proudly wear the badge of both dog AND cat person. And it doesn't stop there. From hamsters to hedgehogs, rabbits to reptiles, I've provided attentive care to a menagerie of critters throughout my life. In fact, -for 5 years, I operated my very own Doggy Day Care business while raising my children, offering full-time care for beloved pets like yours!! When you entrust your furry family member to me, rest assured they'll receive the utmost attention and affection. Whether it's feeding, playtime, or pampering, I'm committed to following your instructions to the letter. I'll shower your pet with cuddles and create an environment where they feel cherished and content. And here's a little extra treat—I understand how important it is to stay connected with your pet while you're away. That's why I provide daily photo updates, so you can witness firsthand the joy and comfort your pet experiences in my care. Before we dive into the fun stuff, a gentle reminder: ensuring your pet's well-being is my top priority. Please ensure they're up-to-date on flea and tick preventative measures and vaccinations throughout the year. Last but certainly not least, a token of gratitude for your trust and support: our referral program. Share the love with a friend, and when they book with me, enjoy a complimentary check-in or walk as my way of saying thank you. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend(s) soon!

Marines did a great job walking Maya twice a week for three weeks during our vacation. She’s extremely diligent, flexible, punctual and caring. Maya loves to go on walks with her and we will use her services again in the near future.

Marines did an amazing job taking care of our cats, especially since one of them has medical issues that require extra attention. She followed all instructions perfectly, gave medications on schedule, and accommodated all of our special requests. It was such a relief to know our pets were in capable and compassionate hands while we were away. The daily updates and photos were a wonderful touch, and we came home to very happy, relaxed cats. Highly recommend!

I can't recommend Marines enough! She was fantastic with my dog, Archie. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that she genuinely cares about dogs and knows how to keep them happy and comfortable. Archie instantly warmed up to her, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. She took the time to get to know his routine and even made sure to keep him engaged and excited during their walk. I’ll definitely be using her weekly.

Coco loves Marines!! My baby is a very anxious dog and he doesn’t do well with strangers but he warmed up to Marines quickly. I’m definitely rebooking as Coco now has a new friend !
