Experiencia en el cuidado de mascotas
Compassionate and Dedicated Care
I've owned and been primary care taker of cats and dogs for more than twenty five years. Initially, I exclusively provided care for friends and family on a part-time basis. Over time, I've grown my knowledge base and honed a skill set leading me to confidently make the decision to work full time as a pet care provider. I've raised dogs from the age of 3 months to senior dogs that were deaf and blind. Experienced providing care for pups with IVDD, Degenerative Myelopathy, Cushings, TPLO, Epileptic/seizure disorders, Pancreatitis, Incontinence/diaper dependence, Cancer, hospice and more. I've worked at a dog grooming shop and handled a variety of different breeds and have knowledge of traits, medical needs and predispositions. I've also worked with a private Irish Wolfhound breeder and was responsible for all care including grooming, bathing, medication (Oral, topical, suppository and SQ injection). I provided care in basic whelping, managed care of dogs with chronic medical conditions and senior dogs in the pack. In 2000, I adopted a twice returned rescue Pit mix named Lucy. She was a 2 year old beauty with a heart of gold. She never met a person who she didnt love. Also,...she had severe dog aggression, reactivity and extreme resource guarding, I was unaware of this when I brought her home. Knowing she would be euthanized if returned to the shelter for a 3rd time, I made it my mission to work with her training and remained steadfast in safeguarding from situations where any danger could come to other dogs or to her. I'm proud to say that with a lot of dedication, Lucy safely remained with me with until her passing of old age in 2013. Lucy even progressed to make some k9 best friends. During those 13 years with Lucy, I poured myself into researching animal behavior and training techniques. I have a seasoned sense for picking up on cues and managing stressful situations that can arise, always keeping safety in the forefront of my mind. I'm experienced caring for multiple pet homes, I understand the different relationships and sometimes challenges that can arise in balancing the peace between fur siblings.

Seguridad, confianza y entorno
I'm conscientious about different needs dogs have in accordance with breed, sex, age, energy levels. Fetch, nose games (hide and seek with treats), tug of war, practicing skills like sit, stay, down, paw can be expected. Cuddles and snuggles will be the norm. I love singing and talking to dogs, they are great listeners! I will gladly provide photos and text updates during the booking. Your home is your castle, and I will treat your home with love and care. I've received feedback that clients homes are cleaner/in better shape than when they left - this is always my aim. I believe that along with direct care of your pet, maintaining a clean environment for them is part of care. Also, I want your return home to be stress-free and a joy to come back to. I provide lite cleanup; kitchen and bathroom wipe downs, laundering of towels and linens utilized during a house sitting. Upon your return home, you can walk in, kick back and cozy up with your pet!

Probably like the 5th time Diana has stayed with our dog. And the way he greets her shows how much he loves being with her :) Already have another stay with Diana booked for next month!
Diana is the best! Her overall experience and her experience with our dogs in particular, and her extreme sense of responsibility gave us the confidence we needed to leave her with our pups under imperfect circumstances. Diana maintains great communication, but also has very good instincts and we trust her to make independent decisions when needed regarding the dogs and the house. Thank you again, Diana for another great stay with our dogs.
Amazing as always! Already have two more visits with Diana booked!
Diana has looked after my cat Lily on two occasions, and I couldn’t be any happier. I know Lily is always so well taken care of, which allows me to be present on my trips, and she enjoys Diana so much, I don’t worry. I don’t travel much, but when I have to, I always reach out to Diana first to see if she is available!
Diana is a wonderful dog sitter. She truly cares about making sure the dogs are happy and the pet parents get updates! Thanks again Diana 🐶🐶
Diana was wonderful with our dog Oscar! He was calm and happy when we returned from our trip and the house was better than we left it! She was flexible and proactive with some weather-related issues and handled everything with aplomb. We had lots of updates along the way and felt very confident that she and Oscar were enjoying the visit. I would highly recommend her .

Programa
I aim to be away from the home no longer than 4 hours at a time per house sitting day. Puppies and pets with other medical needs that require more frequent attention and potty breaks can be accommodated. Please let me know if you have special schedule needs for your pet so accommodations can be explored.
