Pet care experience

Student/Pet Lover - Goofy Approved

From working/volunteering at shelters to pet sitting for friends and family, I have 10+ years of experience caring for furry friends of all ages, personalities, and sizes! Most all of my pet care has been limited to cats and dogs, but I am willing to work with small critters, birds and reptiles with the right care instructions/tutorials. I am not typically squeamish, so I am open to handling clean up and medication - please message me for specifics. As a dog mom myself, I understand that each pet requires different levels of care and attention, and am willing to meet them where they’re at! However, I do not offer training services and might not be the most compatible caretaker for pets that exhibit aggressive behaviors (I am open to discussing). Additionally, I am a full time graduate student, so care in the early morning and evenings will work best for my week day schedule. I will be available some holidays (i.e., Thanksgiving). My availability may also change from time to time, so please be sure to check my profile or message me. Choosing me means your pet will receive quality care, and that all the updates you receive will include cute pics!

Daija was absolutely amazing. Her updates were detailed, and I knew my babies were getting all of the love they deserved. My cats require a multi-step dinner process, and Daija followed all instructions. She is a wonderful sitter and made all of my worries disappear. 10/10

Daija is SUCH an outstanding pet sitter and human. Not only is she extremely kind caring as an individual, but she goes above and beyond to treat my baby like a queen. My cat Maeve is disabled and requires specific medication twice a day, which also means that her behavior can be a little spicy. Daija has approached her with a loving and calming energy that has allowed her to connect with my cat in more ways than just simply watching her and feeding her; Maeve completely gravitates toward Daija now whenever she is around. I am so grateful for Daija and will always trust her with my pets.
