Safety, trust & environment

🛟 I carefully follow all instructions and routines to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I’m attentive to details, from feeding and medication to behavior and environment. I’m also respectful of your home and make sure everything is left clean and secure. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority.

Information Daria R. would like to know about your pet

✅ Please share your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions (feeding, medication, behavior, etc.). The more I know, the better I can make your pet feel comfortable and keep their routine consistent.

A typical day

🐾 Each visit is tailored to your pet’s personality and energy level. I provide playtime, enrichment, feeding, and any care needed — or simply calm company if your pet prefers a quiet presence. I also send detailed updates with photos, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel at ease while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Daria — a full-time pet sitter in Washington, DC and proud mom to two Maine Coons 😺😺 I truly love what I do, and my goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away 💛 I don’t just “check in” — I build connection. Many of my clients tell me their pets feel comfortable with me very quickly — even shy ones. ⸻ 🐾 What you can expect: • Calm, attentive care (great with shy or anxious pets) • Fun, engaging walks and visits • Careful attention to feeding, routines, and medication • Detailed updates with photos after every visit (and little stories 😄) ⸻ I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else — I feel the same about my own cats. That’s why I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. ⸻ Send me a message — I’d love to meet you and take great care of your pet 💛

Very reliable and trustworthy! My dog has her quirks, and Daria was very understanding of everything she needed. A very thorough report card and lots of photos followed their walk!

Daria is the best cat sitter we have ever had. She was wonderful with our cat who takes a while to warm up to people. She did a great job giving him his medication and making sure he was fed and taken care of! She’s amazing!

Daria was fantastic with my two cats! She left a detailed description of her visit and sent plenty of pictures, which I always appreciate. Will definitely be booking her again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
