Pet care experience
My passion for animals started from day 0! For as long as I can recall, when I was younger, I pleaded my parents for a pet until I was finally rewarded with parakeets and later a cockatiel. My family has also followed a tradition of housing pets found outside or otherwise needing a home. This has led to us temporarily supporting a conure and parakeets and adopting our dog, Gatsby. My interests also led me to volunteer at the Reed Animal Hospital, a dog shelter, and a donkey sanctuary - yes, you read that correctly :) I also worked at Dr. Dave's Doggy Daycare and Grooming, where I spent time with dogs and took them out for walks. I am currently a student at McGill University in Canada. In whichever corner of the world I am, I have enjoyed helping out as a Rover sitter. I would love any and all opportunities to spend more time with animals, so feel free to reach out to me if interested! I study both in-person and remotely and have quite a flexible schedule! Tuesday, Thursday, and weekends, I am available for most of the day! Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I am available in the mornings and evenings. I make sure to check with you about your priorities for your dog’s or cat’s safety. Dogs on walks always stay on leash, unless otherwise discussed.
Reviews
Dasha was fantastic! She came and fed and cared for our two kinds for the weekend. She sent pics and updates each time and we felt like our cats were in great hands. We will definitely call on Dasha again for our get-away cat needs :)
Dasha was extremely helpful with taking care of our pet while we were away. She was really good at giving us updates. Will totally use her again!
Dasha did a great job taking care of our dog Elvis while we were on vacation for 8 days. She has a great personality with a sense of responsibility for our pet. She was sending daily updates with photos and videos. We are very appreciative! Thank you, Dasha!
Dasha looked after my golden retriever, Cody, while my family was away on vacation. Despite the distance between us and our pup, everything went as stress-free as possible! Given her calmness, clear joy of being with dogs, and sense of responsibility, would 10/10 recommend Dasha as a dog sitter!

Information Dasha G. would like to know about your pet
It would be awesome to know if a dog enjoys being in the company of other dogs or if there are any things that can make him or her afraid or aggravated (for example, I know of a dog that very strongly dislikes bicycles, which is not intuitive).
A typical day
It is lovely to have a park as a final destination for a dog walk! Depending on the nature and compatibility of our four-legged friend, a walk could even be done to potentially socialize with other dogs! I am also a very energetic and active being, so this could be expanded to a run.
