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
Our anxious cat responded to our absence with a hunger strike. Daria has been very creative and persistent about coaxing her to eat.
Daria was amazing with our cats! They're often very skittish and shy, but Daria's care and patience won them over quickly. She's a very thorough and reliable sitter, making sure the kitties got lots of love and attention, giving detailed reports of her visits, and sending lots of pictures. Would highly recommend!
We are so grateful Daria cares for our dogs when we travel. They absolutely love her! She provides newsy and entertaining reports on each visit (including photos.) We think she's a talented writer! Can't recommend her highly enough. the Lukaczers
This was the first time my senior cat with senior cat issues was home alone for days on end, and Daria's attentive visits definitely helped her stay calm (in addition to fed and well). Came home to a perfectly adjusted kitty!
Daria was wonderful! She gave us a lot of updates and our dog took to her immediately. Highly recommend her as a dog walker!
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!
