Safety, trust & environment

I know how stressful it can be both for the pet and for the owner to be apart, so I will do anything possible to make it easier. Communication with the owner and keeping the routine for the pet is the key. Be sure you will have regular updates from me and your pet will eat, play, and walk according to their usual schedule.

Information Daria S. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know the routine, what are dos and donts, meds schedule and dosage (if it’s applicable), anything you think is relevant - you know your pet better than anyone.

A typical day

As with humans, there’s no one special recipe, each dog or cat is different, so I make sure that I know the pet first and do what he or she typically does: some love to play catch some don’t, some love licking mats and brain exercises and some just love to cuddle :)

Pet care experience

I've been surrounded by animals my whole life — cats, dogs, hamsters, parrots, you name it. Besides my own pets, I've also been taking care of my friends' pets when they go on vacation. They often joke afterward about who had the best time — them or the pets. I have two beautiful dogs (a Scottie and a Westie). Oh, and more than a dozen fish in a tank.

We hired Daria to do drop-in service for our two rescue seniors. She has very calm and confident energy and quickly charmed our salty Chihuahua mix. We really appreciated her prompt communication and thoughtful questions/comments. We will definitely book Daria again for pet care!

Daria did an amazing job caring for my dog, especially under some really difficult circumstances. My dog got sick during the stay, and Daria went above and beyond, cleaning her up, giving her medication, and making sure she was as comfortable as possible. She kept me updated the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m really grateful for how attentive and compassionate she was, and I would absolutely trust her again.

Daria is an exceptional pet sitter who has a remarkable ability to connect with our pups. Her patience, love, and compassion are evident in her interactions with them. She has a keen understanding of our dogs’ unique training styles, and they readily follow her lead. I highly recommend Daria for any pet care needs.

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.
