About

Caring for animals brings immense joy and fulfillment. Providing a nurturing environment, tailored to each creature’s unique needs, is a labor of love. From gentle touch to soothing words, every interaction strengthens the bond. Witnessing trust grow, health flourish, and personalities shine is profoundly rewarding! Caring for animals isn’t just a responsibility; it’s a privilege. Caring for animals is a journey of discovery, growth, and devotion! A little bit about me! My husband is an ears nose and throat surgeon. We have lived on Potrero hill for 15 plus years. My son is third year at Juilliard, He’s a violinist! My daughter just started high school at UHS. We enjoy snowboarding and skiing, travel, nice restaurants, tennis, Squash, reading and music!

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’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!
