Diane can care for

Cats

Availability

I am a hybrid worker, so most days I work from home. So it's easy for me to stop by and check on your pet or spend the night. My work schedule is very flexible. Just let me know what works best for the pet's schedule and I am happy to accommodate.

Safety, trust & environment

I usually try to spend as much time as possible with the pet and have a meet and greet beforehand. I also send text updates with pictures if the owner would like.

Information Diane S. would like to know about your pet

The more I can know about the pet the better. I like to understand what a pet needs for the best experience in my care. Some things I like knowing ahead of time: -Do they have a regular feeding & bathroom schedule? -What is their usual routine during the day? -Are there certain Dog parks or walks the enjoy the most? -Are they good about being off leash -Do they have a favorite toy? -Are they allowed on the furniture? -Do they use a crate? -Are there specific things that can trigger anxiety or accidents? -Do they bark at noises/strangers? -How are they with new people or children?

A typical day

For dogs, I love to take for walks or to locate dog parks. Cats I love to play with their toys, especially with lasers. But really depends on the pet and their needs. I also understand most pets just need someone to spend time with them while their owner is gone, and I am more than happy to spend lots of time with your pet!

Cat owner to watch your cats!

Cat care experience

I have 3 cats myself, and love taking care of cats! I am someone who has lots of experience with cats of all ages and types. I understand the importance of having someone you can trust to watch your cats. I will make sure your cats are well taken care of while you are away. I have cared for cats from kittens to elderly cats who are 20+ years old with medical needs. I am someone who is a bit of a cat lady, and would love to watch your cats!

We could not be happier with the care that Diane provided our dog. This was our first time having someone come stay with our dog and Diane made it such a great experience for us. We are definitely booking her the next time we need a dog sitter.

Diane was an amazing cat sitter for us! She was easy to work with and we came home to a very happy cat. She sent lots of texts and updates about the stay, and I appreciate all her care. I would definitely book her again, and feel at ease knowing she will watch our cat Sammie. Thank you Diane for all your help!

Had dinner plans and needed someone to watch out two pup for a few hours. Diane was excellent. She was prompt, courteous, and the dogs loved her. Both were very relaxed and happy when we came home. This is saying a lot considering one is a puppy and the other suffers from major separation anxiety. Will definitely use again in the future.
