About me
Hey there! I’m Marina. I’m a passionate dog lover here in Noe Valley/Fairmount Heights. I spend a lot of time studying from home, so walks and cuddles are a much needed break!
I recently said goodbye to my sweet 14 y.o. rescue Cavalier King Charles until few months ago. I miss him a lot and I am so ready to give all the extra affection to your pup!
I'm near many nice parks and trails, I love taking dogs for walks, to the beach, or to dog parks for sniffing session!
I've got a soft spot for cats too. I had them my whole life, often more a couple at a time, and I have a special affinity with them. Even the pickiest ones let me pet them 😸

Marina took care of our rescue dog Bella for 3 weeks while we were out of the country, which was no mean feat. Bella is a sweet dog but also has her own anxieties and quirks. Marina was very patient and understanding of her and really took care of her like her own. She even cooked Bella food which was above and beyond. :) Marina has a nice, big, sunny yard which is heaven for pets. She gave us updates every other day and responded frequently. Would highly recommend Marina as it is clear she loves animals and, as an Italian mother, her love language is food!
Our picking doggo LOVED spending a couple of days with Marina. He was very happy to spend a lot of time in her giant back yard and came home as a very happy boy. Marina is so sweet and we shared tips given her past experience with having an older dog. We will definitely be booking with Marina again in the future <3

Marina was excellent with my senior pup. He's got a bad leg and she was easily able to accommodate his needs, give his medication, and make sure he was well-taken care of. She was communicative and shared daily updates, making me feel at ease about how he was doing. I highly recommend her and will absolutely rebook!
