Please tell me anything important to keep your pup happy and safe! Examples: • Health or medical needs • Medications • Food allergies or diet • Behavior or fears (loud noises, leash reactivity, etc.) • How they get along with other dogs and people • Are they okay walking with other dogs, or do they need to be walked separately? • Their daily routine (feeding, potty, naps) • If they can be left alone and for how long, most of the time we are here 24/7 • If they are crate trained • If they get car sick • Any special care or favorite comfort items Knowing these helps me give your dog the best care possible!

Your pup’s GOLDEN Getaway!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Daria! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two golden retriever siblings, Vinnie (4) and Winnie (1)! Vinnie and Winnie are gentle, playful, and great at welcoming new friends of all sizes! Your pup will be treated like family and will always have companionship, enrichment, and plenty of love while in our care! We’re a great fit, especially for dogs who are puppies, high energy, or looking for some new friends! I’ve had pets all my life and have experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs, including seniors, puppies, special needs, and dogs with behavioral quirks. My aunt and I live in a pet-friendly apartment, conveniently located near several nearby parks. It’s perfect for daily walks and outdoor play! We love doing pack walks and having group playtime! If your pup is up for it, we’ve cared for many of the dogs in our neighborhood and have built great relationships with fellow pet parents! I’m also active in the Instagram dog community, so you’ll get plenty of photo and video updates! Your pup’s stay will feel like a little vacation of their own! We can’t wait to meet your furry friend and make their time away from home safe, fun, and full of joy!

Daria has been taking care of my golden retriever, Rosie, for the past few months, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She set the bar so high with the level of care, attention, and love she gave Rosie. Rosie also adored playing with her two sweet golden retrievers—we’re going to miss them dearly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Rosie was in such good hands. Unfortunately, Daria is moving, otherwise I would have happily stayed with her long term. Anyone who has the chance to book with her is truly lucky—she’s absolutely wonderful!
