Highlights
Pet care experience
Lots of fun and love guaranteed 🥰
I put my best effort into everything that I do. When it comes to dogs, that means I give them all of my attention when I care for them. My experience started in pet sitting within my neighborhood from days to weeks on end! I had such a wonderful time that I began to work as a dog walker the next summer and I loved it. I feel I have a very good understanding of doggy brains because I had to learn them. I was once scared of dogs as a child, but overcoming that has made me more deeply connected. My 8-year-old maltipoo, who is back home in DC, is such a cuddle bunny who would certainly impress you with his tricks. He can jump over your arms, weave through your legs, turn a complete circle on his hind legs, roll over, and more in addition to walking off leash. My year-old Australian Shepherd, Kova, has surpassed him as an AKC Certified Novice, Intermediate, AND Advanced Trick dog! She hasn’t met a dog she does not like—super friendly and always willing to play 🤗. I have an indefinite love for dogs and we (Kova and I) hope to meet yours!!

Ratings and reviews
Daria was amazing! She sent us tons of pictures of Dakiti throughout the day, and he looked so happy in every single one. She and Kova were the perfect match for Dakiti's energy, exactly what he needed. We can't thank Daria enough, and we'll definitely be booking with her again!
Daria and her dog Kova was incredibly kind to my little puppy Totori Daria is really confident dog care taker and she gave lots of love and attention to Totori Also Her dog Kova, makes Totori more comfortable stay with them I always laughed when I see pictures of them playing together It is Always delighted to read Daria’s daily reports about my puppy and it also helps me a lot
Beacon spent the afternoon with Beacon on a hot summer day so we could attend a baseball game. He had a blast and she was amazing!
Daria was fantastic- super communicative and caring. Tank had a great time!
Daria paid extra attention to our baby, constantly updated us with pictures, and was a pleasure to work with!
I cannot recommend Daria enough! She took such incredible care of my puppy, Luna, during doggy day care. Her communication was super prompt, and she sent loads of photo and video updates throughout the day, which gave me complete peace of mind. She took Luna on so many fun, active walks and made sure she was constantly happy and well-cared for. An added bonus was Daria’s dog, Kova, and Luna had the absolute best time playing with her! Daria truly went above and beyond.

Schedule
Being a college student at Northeastern University, I have a lot of time on my hands! I worked my first year as a Fitness Center Building Supervisor because I wanted something to do. I have since worked as a Lululemon seasonal worker, tutor, research technician, personal trainer, and some volunteer positions. I manage my time very well and appreciate spending as much of my days outside on walks…mostly with my pup, Kova, but even more on my own while she naps 😌. I have a lot of love for nature and the dogs in it that are the definition of refreshing, love, and happiness. Kova and I hope to spend lots of time with your pets!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Kova was fully potty trained by 3 months old because we work so well together. We take 30-45-minute walks 3x a day and practice tricks every morning. She spends the daytime in between walks napping on her own to fully recuperate. While I am home during the day, rest for an Aussie is imperative, especially because I fulfill her needs enough while we’re outside. If your pet needs alone time too, I can offer that! I can also offer good company at all times. I enjoy every moment with Kova very much and am looking forward to spending our time with your pets. Kova mostly enjoys herself with dogs, though, and is always willing to have fun! We’re so excited to see new pups.
Pets
A typical day
Any dog in my care receives the attention and time they deserve. Dogs see the world with their nose, so outdoor sniffies are a must. As a walker myself, I am outside a lot, and it’s even more enjoyable with a dog by my side.
