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 💛

Daria continues to be my go-to sitter for my cat, Electra. Daria always take great care of Electra, keeps me well-informed and entertained with her detailed and funny visit summaries, and makes sure I return to a happy and cared-for cat.

Once again, Daria took great care of our Pom Charlie, and we were able to have a great family vacation without worrying about him or our home. She is kind, empathetic, and playful when taking him on walks and getting him to take his meds. Charlie is always delighted to see her, and she conveys the same love and caring during their visits and in the many photos and messages she sends along the way. We are so fortunate to have her as our sitter and our newest friend.

Daria does an excellent job of meeting the needs of our cats wherever they are regardless of their age or special requirements. During the health decline of Louis, a big ginger boy, he would respond well to Daria even through meds delivery. Now, we count on Daria to deliver the care that our clever but elderly cat craves. We happily recommend Daria as your pet sitter/caregiver.

Daria did a wonderful job quickly earning my cat's trust and making sure she ate/took her meds. She also kept me very much in the loop and was very responsive throughout the booking.

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.
