Pet care experience

Durham and CH area!!!!

I petsit all over Durham and Chapel Hill. I care for every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. I’ve always shared my life with pets—dogs, cats. I’ve also raised children, and while I’m not offering childcare, that experience has taught me about patience, intuition, and creating a sense of comfort and safety—all of which I bring to every pet I care for. Whether your pet is playful or shy, energetic or elderly, I’ll make sure they feel calm, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I’m experienced with pets who have medical needs and am always happy to follow your instructions closely. If extra time, multiple visits, or special attention are needed, I’m more than happy to provide it. You’ll receive daily updates and sweet photo check-ins so you never feel too far from your furry baby. I don’t offer boarding in my home, but I treat your pets as if they were my own—because that’s exactly how they deserve to be treated. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I enter the home cautiously so no pet is able to dart out. I am quiet but I make eye contact and speak to them warmly and always encourage interaction. I make sure all is locked when I leave and keep keys in secure place.

Diana is the best! My kitties are very timid and scared of people but she was able to get the youngest to come out of hiding for pets each day.

Once again Diana does a superb job with my two cats. She's in contact with me daily with photos, the house is immaculate when I come home and the cats are happy and healthy. Always a pleasure to do business with her!! Highly recommended!!!

I was in a desperate situation — unplanned travel over the Christmas and NYE holidays and my long time pet sitter wasn’t available. Diana to the rescue!! I was a nervous wreck but after the first visit by Diana, I immediately felt at ease. Her communication was stellar and her updates with photos was reassuring. I would not hesitate to request her services again in the future.
