I'm an indoor and outdoor gardener, a very amateur macro photographer, woodworker, general DIYer and dabbler in many things. My dogs like to hang out in the sunshine with me whenever I'm gardening or trying to capture a shot of something interesting in the garden.

Information Diana K. would like to know about your pet

Please provide the following details for the care of your pup(s). 1. Food schedule and quantity 2. Treats they are allowed and when. 3. Any dietary restrictions? 4. Instructions for any medication and/or supplements 5. Potty schedule including first and last times they need to go out 6. How do they let you know when they need to go outside? 7. Bed time routine and location 8. Any behavioral issues and/or goals to be aware of? 9. What commands do they know? Whenever possible, I like to maintain good behavior with positive reinforcement. I'd love to know how you'd like me to help you with your furkid's behavioral goals. I have lots of dog-safe toys, bedding, and beds, but please feel free to bring whatever you feel will help make your pet's stay enjoyable and relaxing.

A typical day

We have lots of different toys, ball launchers and a good-sized, fenced in yard in which to Chuck-It. I'm also big on giving lots of loving pets and talking with all furkids in my care. Depending on your pup, I maybe be able to take them on short outings to local parks.

Experienced and loving fur friend.

Pet care experience

In preparation for my first puppy as a single-puppy-parent, I did a ton of research and hit the ground running when I adopted my first rat terrier puppy. We went through many and frequent training classes and socialization outings so that my dog would grow up to become a happy, well-socialized, nearly fearless adult. I believe in positive reinforcement and can't help but give all the love to all the furkids around me. I've also adopted and lost my heart to larger furkids. Our 2 retired racing greyhounds crossed over the rainbow bridge a few years and left a big void in our family. My first rat terrier recently left us, so we are now just a 1-dog family.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
