Hi, I’m Marina, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets. I have my own big, friendly dog, so I truly understand the importance of patience, routine, and giving pets the attention they need to feel secure and happy. My passion for animals led me to train a guide dog puppy, an experience that taught me a lot about discipline, socialization, and positive reinforcement training.

I live with my husband and 2 kids (2.5, 6.5 years old) and I work part time from home, so I can give your pet all the attention needed :)

I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, whether for a few hours or a longer trip, which is why I aim to provide a loving, home-like environment where they feel safe and well cared for. From daily walks to playtime, feeding, and even basic training, I make sure each pet gets personalized attention based on their needs and personality.

I also understand that every pet is different—some love to play all day, while others prefer a quiet, cozy space. I’m attentive to their body language and signals, ensuring they feel comfortable and stress-free. I love building connections with animals and their owners, and I always keep you updated with messages and pictures while you’re away.

For safety, I only accept vaccinated pets into my home. If you're looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter who will treat your pet like family, I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! Feel free to reach out so we can discuss your pet’s needs and how I can help.

Requirements for Dog Boarding:

🐕🐕Neutered/spayed dogs only – I can only accept male dogs that are neutered and female dogs that are spayed.

F🐶riendly and social dogs – Dogs must be friendly with both other dogs and children.

🐕‍🦺No constant barkers or guard dogs – Unfortunately, I can’t host dogs that bark frequently or show guarding behavior

👐Meet & Optional Trial Stay (for bookings over 5 nights):

Before any first-time stay, I offer a short, free meet-and-greet — just a few minutes to check compatibility and help your dog feel more at ease.

🦴For longer bookings (over 5 nights), I also highly recommend a short trial stay (a day and an overnight), so your dog can get familiar with the environment and settle in more smoothly during the actual stay.
