Marino did a great job watching my princess, Annie! She’s a pit/husky mix and is my whole world. She didn’t want him to leave, and that tells me something! Marino will forever be my go-to princess (pet) sitter!

AI overview
Based on profile, owner reviews and completed bookings
Annie, a pit-husky mix, did not want Marino to leave, her owner wrote. Marino has cared for animals since age six, including years of daytime care for a high-energy husky with specific needs. He brings that experience into a day of walks, fetch, tug-of-war, and basic training for your dog’s mind. Afterward, your dog can settle into calm, supervised time with fresh water and attentive care.

Marino L.'s Experience
I have a lifetime of experience caring for animals, a passion that began when I was just six years old looking after pets for my family. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to person for family and friends whenever their pets need dedicated care, handling everything from daily routines to specialized attention. Most notably, I spent years providing primary daytime care for a husky I am incredibly fond of, managing her high energy and specific needs while she was in my daily routine. Currently, I am in a wonderful new relationship, and my partner and I have a house all to ourselves, offering a stable and spacious home environment.

Information Marino L. would like to know
1. What is your pet’s normal daily routine? 2. What are their favorite activities, toys, and treats? 3. What does a normal day of eating, sleeping, and potty breaks look like? 4. How does your pet behave around new people? 5. How do they do around other dogs, cats, children, or strangers? 6. Are there any behaviors I should know about, such as barking, jumping, chewing, separation anxiety, or escaping?

A typical day
A typical fun day with a pet would include a nice balance of exercise, playtime, relaxation, and lots of attention. We might start with a safe neighborhood walk or some outdoor time, followed by games like fetch, tug-of-war, or exploring a secure area. I also enjoy giving pets mental stimulation with basic training, toys, and gentle play. Afterward, we can have some calm cuddle time and a chance to relax. I always make sure pets have fresh water, stay supervised, and are comfortable throughout the day. My goal is for every pet to have a fun, safe day where they feel happy, cared for, and included.
