Loving care when you’re not there🙂
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Diana and I've been a dog-lover ever since I was a little baby. I've grown up my whole life having a dog, and I’m sure I could never live without one! ♡ Aside from being a dog-mom myself, I’ve been dog-sitting for family and friends for many years, and I would be happy to do the same for you. 🥰 Spending time with my dogs is the most genuinely fulfilling and rewarding moments of my life and I would love to share the love! I have two dogs; my happy, silly, 30lb beagle “Charlie” and my tiny, playful, 5lb Chihuahua “Stormie” - They are both super sweet, friendly, well socialized and well trained. Even though Charlie is 30lbs, his personally is very docile and gentle with my little 5lb Chihuahua Stormie, and Stormie is overall super sweet and affectionate once she “sniffs” and meets new people and pups! • I’m home full time (freelance web-designer / digital content creator) and in my care, your dog will be in a loving and safe environment where they will get all of my one-on-one attention! I’m always there to play, walk, feed and make sure your pet always has a fresh bowl of water and a soft bed to lounge on. *I also like sending pictures and updates (as often as you’d like) so you can see how much love your pet will be pampered, when they're with me. ❤️ • I 100% believe dogs are little furry members of the family so I allow both my pups to hang out with me on my couch, and they both usually share my bed with me at bedtime (even though they both have their own beds lol I still love it when they choose to sleep with me!). *However, I’ll always respect if you prefer your dog to not be allowed on the furniture while at my home - just let me know! 🙂 • For all pet-parents: I take pride in always being trustworthy, reliable, and professional. • For all pets: I'm attentive, gentle, patient and affectionate - Side Note: If your dog happens to be a cuddler, then we've both just hit the jackpot because I always love a good doggy-cuddle! 🥰 • I believe that every dog's personality is completely different from one another, and it's important for each pet to feel as happy and comfortable as they would in their own home - so if your pet's temperament is more lax, they'll get plenty of calm affection and attention. And/or if your pet prefers to run and jump around for long play sessions, I'll be right there on the floor with them, playing tug, fetch and chase LOL! 😅 My dog Charlie has bouts of high energy where he gets the “zoomies” and loves for me to chase him (that’s usually my cardio and I love it lol) and my pup Stormie is more of a low-energy dog, that has bouts of gentle playfulness here and there, but more so loves to cuddle; so I’m used to both ends of the spectrum. 🙂 ❥ Thanks for taking the time to read my profile and don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have! 😊 I look forward to meeting you and your furry member of the family soon! 🤗❤️🐾
Reviews
Diana is a caring, attentive dog sitter who'll make sure that your pups get the love they need. She has an innate sense for understanding the nuances of a dog's personality, and they can't help but form a close bond with her as a result. She was wonderful with my Maltese, and my Beagle can't get enough of her!
I am SO happy Diana decided to start dog-sitting professionally!! Diana is so sweet and caring and she is absolutely GREAT with dogs! My dogs LOVE her and she’s been helping me out watching my girls for years - when I pick them up they don’t even want to come home with me anymore lol... I’m starting to think they love her more than me! Over the years, Diana has been a great friend and I can always count on her - hands down she’s the best dog-mom I know!
Diana is the most caring and loving person I know. She loves all dogs indiscriminately and all dogs love her. She is the ideal dog sitter!

Safety, trust & environment
❤︎ ENVIRONMENT SAFETY ❤︎ • A safe environment for your pet and mine, is of the utmost importance to me. I always make sure my home is safely “dog-proofed” so that there aren’t any electrical wires “laying out” on the floor, every trash can in my home has a “lid” (since my pup Charlie thinks he’s part “raccoon” lol) and “human snacks” or any other types of food, is never “left out” anywhere in my home. • For feeding time, I have 2 separate (collapsible) puppy gates that I can take out, to separate pets at feeding time. 👍 • I have a terrace that my two dogs have ‘free-reign’ of, whenever they want to step out and see “what’s going on” in the neighborhood (the terrace is “double-fenced” meaning, it already had a 4ft steel fence, and I double-enforced it, with a smaller “netted” fenced that’s usually used to protect toddlers and/or small pets from squeezing through any wider gaps of the fence. *This ensures my 5lb chihuahua can safely step out on the terrace and “neighborhood watch” (which she absolutely loves to do lol). • Lastly, aside from having an 8-9ft wooden-fenced backyard for playtime/potty-breaks, and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company, I have lots of toys available, extra dog beds, and also, “small-dog-stairs.” *Since my 5lb chihuahua is so small, she has two sets of “dog stairs” in my bedroom and in my living room, so that she can easily climb on and off of furniture, without hurting her tiny legs; the dog stairs are made of ‘memory foam’ and they’re always left out/accessible and available for your pup to use as much as they like!

Information Diana P. would like to know about your pet
I only have 10 quick but *very important* questions that I'd appreciate if every pet-owner answers prior to bookings, in order for me to provide the *utmost best* of care and safety for your pup: 1. Is your dog paper-trained and/or house-trained? 2. How does your dog typically interact with other dogs and people? 3. Does your dog have any aggression or triggers I should be aware of, or any specific situations I should avoid? 4. What is your training approach and which training words does your dog respond to? 5. What is your dog's daily routine and schedule for walks, naps, play-time, etc.? 6. What is your dog's feeding schedule and feeding instructions? Are there any diet restrictions? 7. If treats are allowed, when are they allowed, how many / how often, and what kinds of treats? (Ex: afternoons only, between meals, no more than 3 treats a day, blue buffalo brand only, etc.). 8. Are there any previous/current illnesses, injuries, allergies, and/or medications, that I should monitor? 9. What is your dog's age and are there any limitations or restrictions I should be aware of (specifically regarding activity and diet)? 10. What is your vet and emergency contact details?
A typical day
❤︎ A TYPICAL DAY WITH ME ❤︎ • Pups in my care get free-reign of my fenced backyard, as often as they’d like, to go out back for potty breaks and/or playtime (the yard has an 8-9ft wooden fence, so rest assured, there won’t be ‘jail breaks’ of any kind lol I’ll also be out there keeping watch as well!). • *If your pet is less than 10lbs, I’d double-check with you, if you’d prefer that I walk your pet “leashed” in the backyard, instead of being off-leash, for safety purposes (never too sure if there’s any hawks flying overhead, so I always rather be safe!). • There are also tons of dog toys at my place - tug toys, Kong fetch balls, Kong chew toys, etc. • Pets are totally allowed on furniture at my place - They could hang out on the couch or sleep on the bed during overnight stays! I also have 3 extra doggy beds, so they'll have many options to choose from! • *If you want to bring their own bed or blanket, feel free to do so! • I have air-conditioning for hot summer days and comfortable heating for cold winter nights. • And last but not least: I provide lots of snuggles, cuddles, hugs, kisses, playtime and unconditional love for all my furry four-legged friends. ? ❤️
