Pet care experience

No unloved dogs here.

I am a Retired nurse with experience caring for dogs of any age and medical condition. Experienced in giving medications including subQ, IM and oral. I retired two years ago so my schedule is my own. With exceptions for errands or appointments I am home throughout the day and evenings. I have a large fenced yard with secure gates and great neighbors who love dogs. Also there is an attached deck just for sun loving dogs. I live very close to Cedar point, Great Wolf Lodge and Kalahari Resort. II’m available for daycare and/or overnight boarding, and last-minute drop-ins. I would request that your dog have some sort of outer identification, preferably a collar with tags.

Dian is amazing! We were in a bind and not only did she reassure us but Minnie was taken care of so well I felt so comfortable I didn’t worry for a minute while I enjoyed Cedar Point with my family. Thank you!!!!

Dian was great with our sometimes opinionated little dog! PandaBear, who can be stand-offish with folks, was delighted when we returned, but ran back and forth from us to Dian in her excitement, an excellent sign. Panda looked great, and got along with Dian’s dogs and guest dog. We were very pleased and happy.

Dian is a pleasure to “work” with. She’s very accommodating & I know she loves my Opie. I have peace of mind when I’m traveling, knowing Opie is in very good hands :)

Dian is a great dog sitter. My little Opie loves going to stay at her house. She always sends me pics of him when I’m out of town. She’s great!

Jax stayed with Dian for the second time and did very well. She really cares about dogs, sent me a photo to show how he was doing, and was prepped and ready for both his arrival and departure. I’m sure we will book her again!
