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 is a true pro! She was great with our senior dog, followed instructions perfectly, and we loved her pictures and write-ups of the walks.
Daria is amazing. She always takes great care of our cats and writes the best update messages each day. We had an ant invasion during her last visit, and Daria went above and beyond to deal with it while we were away. Highly recommended!
We had a meet and greet with Daria and she seemed very compassionate and comfortable with our cats, especially our little guy with special medical needs. We look forward to working with her.
Daria is a wonderful and very entertaining communicator. When necessary, she is completely focused and serious. After our anxious cat went on a hunger strike, Daria made sure that I knew exactly what was happening and consulted with me for advice.
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!
