Pet care experience
Mother of Cats & Dogs best Friend
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 💛

Ratings and reviews
Daria was fantastic! She quickly caught the nuances and personalities of our cats and diligently ensured they got medications and some playtime. All with a great sense of humor! The daily photos she sent were wonderful.
Daria is the best! I cannot recommend her enough! She has taken wonderful care of my cat for two years! If you need a wonderful, thoughtful pet sitter, book Daria! She leaves wonderful notes and the best pictures!
Daria was fantastic! She was very communicative and the kitties were clearly well taken care of. We will definitely use her again!
Daria did a wonderful job. Lily seemed very calm when I came home, which means a lot when you have kind of a nervous and suspicious cat. Daria's comments were very on point and very funny. I'm astounded she managed to get photos of Lily. Clearly taking them from far away seems to be the trick. Finding her main hiding spot was impressive-I apologize for not warning Daria that might be where she was. I'm very grateful Daria gave her time to get over her nervousness. Actually, my cat's behavior was her at her "calm but cautious" state. I would enthusiastically hire Daria again. She clearly is a wonderful cat whisperer.
As usual, thanks, Daria for taking such great care of our pets again.
Daria is great!
