Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, Heart-centered Pet Care
Responsible, accountable, and very communicative sitter. 10/10 here to give your furry family all the love, one-to-one attention, and hugs! Armed with genuine affection for animals, I provide attentive, caring pet care. I connect with your pets on their level, appreciate their personalities and quirks, and am respectful of boundaries. I’ve happily appeased finicky cats, cared for senior dogs, coaxed pills into pups’ mouths, soothed anxious pets, prepared home-cooked meals at owner’s specifications, and assisted puppies and dogs with their pad/crate/house training. I provide pet parents with the consistent, responsive, communication they need to feel at ease while away. When your furry loved one is in my care, you can expect detailed, daily updates with photos, and fast responses to texts. In my personal life, I’m that girl on the street or hiking trail who smiles at all the dogs—and I’m flattered that they usually smile back! Growing up, I had a home full of furry, feathered, and scaly animal friends. My mom instilled in me a deep love and respect for all animals. I’m thrilled to incorporate those qualities into my livelihood. Your pet’s happiness is important to me—it’s important that we’re a good fit. Meet-and-greets are a must prior to booking.

Ratings and reviews
Damaris is an absolute gem. We are so grateful that we found her! My husband and I have a very skittish and anxious Pomeranian that can be complicated and requires some extra work. We had a previous sitter that we used but she retired because she had a baby so I was so nervous starting the whole process of introducing Luna to a new sitter. However, Damaris was absolutely amazing and dedicated time to getting to know Luna and would come over to spend time with her leading up to our 10 day trip. She thought that it was necessary and important for them to be comfortable with one another, just as we did, since she would be staying at our home with our dog. Damaris is amazing, dedicated, and SO patient with our dog. Luna absolutely loved her and it’s important to note that Luna doesn’t love everyone! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that she was safe and well taken care of. She always kept us updated with how things were going, sent us plenty of pictures and videos of our girl, and I can’t thank her enough for all of her help. She also is amazing house sitter. I’d highly recommend Damaris!
Damaris was wonderful with my Sage! She was reliable, communicative, and made me feel completely at ease knowing my pup was in good hands while I’m at work. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave her. I would absolutely recommend Damaris to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
Damaris is the best cat sitter ever!! My cats love her and she always makes sure things are clean and they are well taken care of.
stellar as always!! damaris is the best!
Thanks Damaris for taking care of my cats. Good job as always and daily updates on them was nice.
Very caring and thorough to all my cats! Damaris made sure every single one got attention and care and she made sure all their supplies were stocked and kept my home tidy while I was away. I got daily updates and pictures of my babies. I will definitely rebook her for all my future trips!

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule… which means lots of bandwidth to care for your furry family member and give them lots of love and attention. I’m grateful to have a livelihood that allows me to take time away to cuddle furry friends and provide detailed updates. I love exploring L.A. on foot! Walks are even more fun when done in tandem with a canine companion.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsDamaris can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
- Here are some things to consider prior to booking: Please let me know what I can do to make your pet happy! I’d like to know their routine, walking route, favorite toys, treats, games, likes & dislikes, etc. Due to schedule constraints, I only accept cats and dogs who are comfortable and non-destructive when left alone for short periods of time. For my furry clients’ safety, all adult dogs and cats in my care must be clean, flea treated, fully house-/pad-/litter-trained and up-to-date on vaccinations. Puppies should be mostly pad-trained. I will only feed your pet the food you provide. If your pet has a soft spot for people food and you’re ok with me indulging them, let me know! Standard house-sit rates include: • Guaranteed minimum 12 hours of meaningful physical presence and care (which may or may not include an overnight stay, your choice) with a midday walk/check in. • … and, lots of attentive cuddle/play time spent with your pet during these hours! Additional rates apply for pets that require extra time, medication, etc. If your pet has special needs, I’d love to know more to see if we’re a good fit!
