Highlights
Pet care experience
Furry baby cuddles
I am a dog lover looking for extra income. I live by myself with my dog. He is a service dog and we do everything together. I grew up with 2 rotties and a boxer so i am very comfortable with larger dog breeds. We hike every single day about 5 miles a day, so we do lead very active lifestyle. If your pet needs senior care, we will adjust. We've been dog sitting for the last 6 years and just now decided to join Rover for extra income. I work for myself, so I make my own schedule and have time to care for your dog as well. Everyone is allowed on furniture and my bed.

Ratings and reviews
My big lab mix had a blast with Daiva! She kept him active with hikes in the woods on most days. He's sound asleep after picking him up. What a fun week for him!
Daiva provided a loving and full experience for my pups. She provided regular updates and was extremely responsive. Highly recommend!
Daiva has been such a massive gift to both me and my dog, Stevie. Before meeting her, I used to feel stressed whenever I traveled because leaving Stevie behind never felt easy. She’s my baby, and trusting someone with her care is a big deal. With Daiva, that stress completely disappeared. Daiva does not just “watch” the dogs or do the bare minimum—she really makes sure they have a great time. Stevie always comes home happy, exercised, and clearly well cared for. It honestly feels like Stevie gets her own little vacation while I’m away. She and Daiva’s dog, Negan, have become best friends, which makes it even more special knowing Stevie has a buddy she loves spending time with. She has also gone above and beyond in ways that meant so much to us—she even traveled with us for our wedding so Stevie could be our flower girl. That level of care and support says everything about the kind of person she is. Daiva clearly loves what she does and treats the dogs with so much care and attention. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust.
Daiva is absolutely amazing. She has taken great care of my pup Ripley. Ripley is treated like one of her pack. She is a trainer and my pup listens to her… I need some lessons from Daiva! I am thankful to have her as a “Rover family” to watch when I have to travel! Highly recommend!
Daiva is amazing!! My dog absolutely LOVES her and her dog, Negan. He’s so well trained and behaved, which is a testament to her. All I have to do is say their name and my dog is crying at the door ready to go. She makes sure the pups get good exercise and plenty of play time. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend Daiva for caring for your pets! She is an incredibly caring, knowledgeable, and attentive pet caregiver who truly treats every animal as if they were her own. Daiva has a natural way with animals, she is patient, gentle, and makes them feel safe and comfortable. You can tell how much she genuinely loves animals by the way she interacts with them and the effort she puts into making sure they are happy and well cared for. Any pet in Daiva’s care will receive plenty of attention, love, and thoughtful care. I would absolutely trust her with my own pets and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my #1 priority whether its your dog or mine. I take away toys and bulky sticks if I leave the house so they dont choke on things by accident. I have a crate in case I dog sit a nervous dog so it can relax and get much needed rest in between walks. I am also big into training and reading dogs body language to avoid conflict. If the dog we are sitting is nervous around other dogs, then I make sure we skip socializing with other dogs and focus on training to help build confidence

A typical day
We are early risers, our day starts at 5.30am, first walk is about 1 hour, then we get breakfast and mandatory rest to digest food, then we go in search of new trails for a hike in nature. Usually after all the morning activities the pups get to rest for a few hours as it is important for their recovery. After work we have doggy playdates with my neighbor friends, or we go back to the nature parks. We swim a lot in the summer
