Highlights
Pet care experience
Big Dog Energy, Cat Person at Heart
A lifetime with dogs (huskies, dalmatians, pitbulls, spaniels, chihuahuas, terriers, staffy/shepherd mixes, shih tzus, doodles, and more!) means your dog is in experienced hands. I've house and pet sat for clients, coworkers, and friends for years, including reactive and anxious dogs, aging pets, and very hyper ones who just need a little more patience and attention. One of my favorite things about this work is learning the unique personalities of every animal. When owners tell me about their pets' weird rituals, walking quirks, and favorite toys, it tells me everything about how well loved they are. I wouldn't expect to be your pet's favorite person, but I'd love to be a reason they feel safe and happy while you're away. I'm comfortable administering oral, topical, and ear medications, so pets with health routines are always welcome. When your pet is with me, you'll get regular photo updates and lots of communication throughout the stay. I also follow your pet's existing routine as closely as possible because consistency is what keeps them comfortable. Based in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. I'd love to meet your pet -- please reach out to set up a meet and greet!

Safety, trust & environment
For house sitting, I ask a lot of questions upfront: routines, quirks, preferences, emergency contacts, etc. I want to be as prepared as possible before I walk out the door. Once I'm there, I treat the space with respect and keep everything tidy and exactly as the owner left it. My job is to make sure both pet and home are in great shape when the owner returns. I follow the pet's existing routine as closely as possible because familiar rhythms are what keep animals calm and comfortable when their people are away.
Ratings and reviews
Darian went above and beyond for our boy! He is an elderly cat in need of oral meds and extra care and she was so thoughtful and proactive with ensuring Snacks had the best care possible. Thank you, Darian!
Darian sent pictures of Sprite everyday for a month while I was away. Was very pleased with the way she took care of Sprite he seemed to be very happy.’
Darian is incredible! She stayed at my home for 2 weeks with Honey while I was in Europe. She even moved my car for me. Honey LOVES her and she was super communicative and gave me updates every day! Couldn’t be more pleased.
Darian was so great. Very communicative and the dogs clearly love her!
Darian, showed up a little early which I appreciated. It gave us time to connect and share more details about Luigi. They were very communicative and updated regularly with photos and message! I felt that he was in good hands, they even did some training which was great. The next time we need a full day sitter I’ll be sure to use their services!
Darian was wonderful Toby really liked playing with her and she walked him frequently. Very calming to a hyper puppy I highly recommend her!

Schedule
I'm currently available full-time, which means pets in my care get more attention and companionship! Pet care isn't something I'm fitting around other commitments right now, it's my focus. I'm flexible with scheduling, available for last-minute bookings, and able to accommodate pets that need extra time and attention throughout the day.
