We’re so thankful to have found Marina to care for our dog! She’s truly blossomed under her care. Before finding Marina we thought that Delilah was unable to interact with other dogs, but we’re so happy to be pleasantly surprised! Under Marina’s care our dog Delilah is living her best life and made a new dog best friend in Dave, Marina’s dog!

Marina is a highly communicative, caring, and reliable Dogsitter. She was flexible with scheduling and always reachable through text. She is a quick responder and consistently sent updates of our dog. She was able to board him for 4 days while I was unexpectedly in labor last minute. Total life saver. Appreciate you so much Marina!! We will see you soon again :)

We first met Marina because we frequently saw her walking dogs in our neighborhood, always happy and well-behaved pups who clearly felt safe and loved. From the start, we knew we could trust her with our dogs. She did an amazing job caring for them, especially our more nervous golden doodle, who she handled with such calm and patience until both dogs felt completely settled. Marina is incredibly friendly and easy to work with, and her communication throughout the stay gave us great peace of mind. The best part? Our dogs clearly had a wonderful time, because now every time we walk past her street, they pull towards her house with excitement! We are so grateful to have found her and are already looking forward to working with Marina again for longer stays.

Details: 2 dogs • Small (16 - 25 lbs) • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • One time only
