Hey there! My name is Diamond, and I am what you would call DEDICATED! I will forever go above and beyond for every four-legged (and two-legged) individual that I come into contact with—and I have 200+ pictures to prove it! ❤️ I wish to meet and love on every dog and cat in the world, and I'm moving in the right direction to do just that. 😊 ☀️ Summer Safety Protocol: Your pup's health and comfort are my top priorities, which is why I take overheating and potential asphalt paw burns very seriously! To keep everyone safe during the hot summer months, I stick to a strict outdoor routine:🌅 Before Sunrise: Long, cool morning walks before the sun comes all the way up. ☀️ Mid-Day: A quick, 5-minute maximum outdoor limit just to relieve themselves. 🌌 After Sunset: Another long walk and exercise session once the pavement has completely cooled down. 🐾 30+ Years of Elite Experience: I have over 30 years of experience caring for dogs. I was actually raised with two beautiful, massive, well-trained, protective, and just outright AMAZING Rottweilers. While I have a passionate soft spot for each and every animal in the world, dogs became my absolute favorite!Growing up, my father was (and still is) a professional dog trainer. I loved attending his sessions to watch and learn how he could successfully train most dogs in under a single day! My absolute favorite part was getting to meet every single pup at the end of each class. Over the years, I found myself looking for the perfect pet sitter for my own Rottweilers (who have since passed away), which eventually inspired me to become the exact pet sitter I used to search for! 🏡 Mimicking Your Home Routine: From past experience, I’ve realized that mimicking a pet's exact rules and routines from home alleviates a massive amount of stress in a new environment. Your pup’s schedule will remain perfectly intact with me! House Rules: If your pup is allowed on the furniture at home, they are allowed on the furniture here. If they aren't allowed on the furniture at home, I will strictly enforce that rule here too! Potty Breaks: To completely avoid household accidents, your dog will go out to relieve themselves every 2 hours (and I can easily accommodate an hourly schedule if needed). Custom Scheduling: I will ask you specific questions beforehand so that our walking, feeding, and playing routines feel completely seamless to your pet. Bonus Training: Because of my background, I can also provide positive dog/puppy training using a clicker or treats during their stay! 🌟 What Our Days Look Like: Most times, I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and I update my calendar daily so you always see my accurate availability. Depending on your pup's energy level, we can have big adventures or peaceful, lazy days! I love to go on long walks, slow morning jogs, and enjoy nature with a bike ride through the beautiful trails and lakefront just a few blocks away from my home. If your doggy wants extracurricular activity, their exercise will fit right into my daily fitness routine! Be prepared to receive a TON of pictures and come home to a tired, relaxed, and calm pup.We can also have beautifully laid-back days filled with cuddles on the couch while I dive into a good book or catch up on a good Netflix or Hulu series. Whichever way the day goes, both you and your pup will be completely satisfied! All shapes and sizes are cherished here—no dog is too big or too small, and sweet seniors or energetic baby puppies are always welcome! My goal is for you to never stress about needing a pet sitter ever again, and for your pup to completely forget that you’re away. ❤️ I am absolutely ecstatic to meet, care for, and love on your pup! I’m always available for a free meet-and-greet—you pick the date! 😊
