Pet care experience

Paw-parazzi

Growing up with both cats and dogs, I have a natural understanding of pet behavior and needs. My love for frequent walks means your pet will enjoy plenty of exercise and outdoor adventures. I work from home so with my flexible schedule, I’m always available for check-ins, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day☺️

Darya watched my cat while I was out of town for 2 weeks & did a spectacular job. She was very responsive in our communication & very professional. She followed the care notes and did an incredibly thorough job in following all instructions. The daily updates & photos were so detailed that I knew my pet was in great hands. I highly recommend her services for your pet & have nothing but positive remarks from this experience.

Darya is an amazing pet sitter who has taken wonderful care of my two dogs and two cats! She is responsible, kind, and truly treats my pets like her own. I always come home to happy, well cared for animals. I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in her hands. I highly recommend Darya to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter on Rover! She always sends regular updates and photos, which I really appreciate while I’m away. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

Darya (Dasha) was so sweet with my doodle, Noodle. She was very patient when he got overexcited when first meeting but had a firm and kind understanding of how to rein him in. She was great at following his meal schedule and offered tons of great cuddles and photos of her and Noodle's time together. Dasha was quick to respond to me when I messsaged and was flexible when my plans got a little delayed. I would def use her again.

Darya is a super loving pet parent. The love that she has for her own Peach extended to when she watched my Royce. Sent so many updates and followed his very picky regime to a tee. I never worry whenever I leave him with her!

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, routines, or quirks I should know about. I always want to respect any commands or behaviors you are trying to reinforce (example: if they bark a lot and you’re working to stop that by ignoring/time out/or anything specific, I always find it helps when outside parties enforce the same behaviors. I definitely want to make sure pets also feel comfortable, safe, and cared for exactly how you would at home. Whether your cat prefers quiet visits or your dog needs extra exercise, I’ll adapt to whatever makes them happiest.
