About Marina
I love animals!! How is that different from everyone else on this site?

Well, I'm that person who cannot pass a dog or cat in the street without having to go to them and give them a pat! I will treat your pet like it's my own! I have extensive experience with dogs, having parents that bred German Shepherds - I too assisted, help raise and train dogs from puppies.

I have two gorgeous dogs at home - Shelby and Coco, a bearded dragon named Nexus and a rabbit Waffles which I look after every day. I have also always had cats growing up, just not in the past few years as my husband is allergic.

I love taking my dogs for walks, playing with them and will take them anywhere I can. Coco can be leash aggressive, so i have to be careful where I take her and how I walk her, but knowing the triggers, means she and others are always safe.
At home she is an absolute sweetheart! They are truly part of my life. I am currently training our dog Shelby to be a service dog for my child (or will continue to be a family member if she doesn't make the grade). I have had to give medications both oral and topical to my dogs over the years so am used to doing this also.

My job is to make things easier for you, so you can go to work, to training, go out for the night/weekend or go on that much needed holiday without having to stress about your beloved family member - trust me, I've been there when a sitter has fallen through. I've had one very bad experience with a pet sitter and needless to say, it has never happened again.

I guarantee you that I will take the time and energy to understand your family member's needs and follow it to a T.

Not sure? Contact me and we can have a chat. I am happy to come to you to meet your family so you know you are in the rights hands.
