Quality Care at Rates You’ll Love!

Hi! I’m Daria (or just Ria) a Carmel-based pet sitter specializing in overnight stays and weekend care. I have a full-time daytime job, which makes me a great fit for clients who want dedicated evening, overnight, and weekend attention for their pet. From 5:00 - 5:30 PM through the morning, I’m fully present in your home, and weekends are wide open. What makes my care different: • Overnight stays are my specialty. Your pet keeps their routine, their bed, and their sense of safety while you’re away. I handle feeding, play, medication, and the quiet companionship pets miss most. • Daily photo and video updates, every time. This is what guests mention again and again in my reviews. Whether you’re across town or 2,200 miles away, you’ll see how your pet is doing - not just wonder. • Patient with the shy ones, gentle with the seniors. I’ve cared for skittish cats who warmed up within hours, grumpy seniors who decided I was alright, and high-energy dogs who needed someone to match their pace. I follow your written instructions to the letter. ❤️ All pet photos on this profile are shared with the owners’ permission. The Siamese cat you’ll spot in some pictures is my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care exclusively in your home, where your pet is most comfortable and their routine stays intact. I follow your written instructions as closely as possible - feeding times, medication, walks, house rules - and ask before making any judgment calls. I keep your space clean and secure, lock up carefully, and treat your home with the same care I’d give my own.

Daria was amazing! She stayed with our dogs at our house for 10 days. We had constant communication with lots of picture and video updates. It was clear our dogs (and house) were very well loved and taken care of! Will definitely book again and highly recommend!!

Daria did an excellent job caring for my three pups. She was communicative and sent many updates. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my pups were being cared for. I would definitely hire Daria in the future and hope to do so again soon!

Ria was so wonderful taking care of my nervous/anxious pup! She was very communicative and sent pictures to put me at ease during my trip. I highly recommend Ria & will 100% be using her again!

Daria was absolutely fantastic with our cat, Onyx! He usually takes some time to warm up to people, but he was instantly at ease with Daria. With each photo and video, it became increasingly apparent how much he liked her and enjoyed her company. She provided many photos and videos throughout her stay, which provided us with peace of mind that our fur baby was in good hands while we were away. Daria turned what is usually a distressing event for our cat into a vacation for him as well. The peace of mind that she provided is priceless. Thank you, Daria!!!

Daria is amazing! Excellent communication and she's great with cats. She went above and beyond and I'm grateful she helped my cat stay comfortable while was away. Thank you Daria!
