Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet's Staycation Buddy
I have been around dogs since I was a toddler, and with my entire family being dog lovers, animals have always been a big part of my life. My passion for pet care even extended into reptile care for a while, so I can confidently say I love all things four-legged (and sometimes scaly!). Over the years, my family and I had the honor of caring for a chihuahua, a Tibetan mastiff, an elderly shepherd mix, and a medium-sized mutt. Not all at once, but enough to give me hands-on experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. In addition to daily care, I am also comfortable administering oral medications. Above all, I treat every animal with the same love and respect I would give my own, so you can feel confident your pets will be in caring, capable hands.

Ratings and reviews
Daria did a great job watching Ella! Any concerns or questions that she had she made sure to reach out to me which was much appreciated! I will be definitely be using her in the future!
Daria did a wonderful job taking care of both my dog and cat. She was attentive, reliable, and made sure they were happy and comfortable while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care.
My family has known this beautiful young woman since she was a child. Daria has a kind, compassionate heart, full of love for all animals, as well as people. We are huge dog lovers and we have called Daria on many occasions. She not only is a great dog watcher, but she is a great house sitter. She’s mature, respectful, very punctual and always has a beautiful sincere smile . Dogs are a good judge of characters and they all come to her with their tails wagging and bodies wiggling. I wholeheartedly give her my full recommendation.
Dasha has been coming over to help brush and take care of my dogs and cats for several years now, and they all absolutely adore her! She is eager to give them attention, patient when they fail to mind, and incredibly conscious of their wellbeing. Dasha is incredibly quick to notice if one of my animals is acting different, and she takes immediate action to make sure everyone is okay. She has a wealth of experience in handling dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds, and I wouldn’t trust anybody else to help care for my babies like I trust Dasha. Darla McCain Platinum Pets
Calendar and availability
Schedule
Due to my job being part time I can pretty much pick up and stay anywhere as long as long as I have my car to take me to work! I do work a night shift starting at 3:30 - 10:00pm to be completely transparent so please keep that in mind if your babies need to be let out frequently!
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
When I stay at a client’s house, I always follow their instructions and make sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I usually don’t leave much during my stay, so they get plenty of company and attention. At my home, I have three cats and a sweet male poodle mix in a cozy one-story house so I am always surrounded by animals and rarely wanna leave them! Wherever I’m watching pets, I like to keep them inside with me to stay cool, but they’ll always get plenty of time outside to play and stretch their legs.

A typical day
When I watch dogs, I’m happy to match their energy. Whether that means being a couch potato for snuggles or an energizer bunny ready for playtime! While house sitting, I usually spend time doing school work, and if a client’s okay with it, I’ll sometimes bring my console to game and hang out with your pup. I also love to stay active and try to walk or jog every other day, so if you want your pooch moving and having fun, I’m your girl!
