About Marina

Hi! I'm a passionate animal lover currently pursuing my LLB degree, and I’m excited to share my love for pets with your furry (or scaly!) family members. My motivation for pet sitting comes from a deep belief that all animals deserve consistent love, care, and attention.

I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. I regularly care for my friends’ and their families’ pets, giving me valuable hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and care needs. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, learning to read their behavior and respond to their unique routines.

As a foster carer for rescue cats, I’ve helped many transition into permanent homes, including animals with medical needs or behavioral challenges. I’m experienced in administering pills, liquid medications, and even injections when needed, and I understand how important it is to offer reassurance to both pets and their owners during times apart.

Beyond cats and dogs, I’ve also cared for bearded dragons and hamsters, and I’m confident managing different feeding routines, habitats, and behavioral quirks.

As a dedicated LLB student, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, organization, and clear communication to every pet sitting arrangement. I’ll provide regular updates, including photos and notes about your pet’s day, so you can feel at ease while you're away.

For the safety of all animals in my home, I do require proof of current vaccinations for any pets staying with me. This helps ensure a healthy, happy environment for everyone.

I'm committed to following your pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether that means early walks, precise mealtimes, or extra cuddle sessions. Your pets won’t just be looked after, they’ll be genuinely loved.
