Marina is a FANTASTIC dog walker! Upon first meeting her, she had a brief meeting free of charge to get to know my dog and follow through with any questions or concerns I may have had. She was extremely friendly with both myself and my dog and I could tell she cared a lot about the dogs she was walking. She is accommodating to the owner's desires for the walk (such as off-leash or having a seatbelt for them in the car). The report she gives at the end of each walk really demonstrated how my dog did and enjoyed his time. I tend to be a little overprotective of my pup, as he's training to be a service dog outside his free time / walk time, however felt great ease and comfort whenever he was in her hands. I enjoyed reading the reports and seeing the photos as well, knowing what he was up to! Marina always brought water, a first aid kit, and treats to every walk. At times I asked her to help with some basic training while he was on the walks, and she always agreed eagerly! She seemed extremely knowledgeable as well, such as with the temperature (I had hikes in snow, warmth, and rain), and always put the comfortability of the dog above everything else. She was always punctual and easy to contact. At times she brought her own dog to join the walk with my pup (I signed up for the group walks), so that he would always have at least one hiking buddy! Her dog is also CGC certified, meaning have passed the test of a high obedience. She always uses positive reinforcement with the dogs as well, which I loved! Definitely the best walker I've ever had! I used her services once a week for about half a year, until I moved out of state. Definitely worth the price as well, given the attentiveness, time spent hiking, and everything mentioned above! From the photos, the area they hiked seemed beautiful as well. Upon returning home, my boy seemed tuckered out. Thank you SO much for your services! read more
