I am here for all the snuggles!
Pet care experience
Hi, My name is Diana. I have been a dog sitter for about 6 years and have had dog experience for 10 years. Anyone that knows me, knows that I adore animals and would do anything to spend any amount of time with animals. And I would love to be your dog’s next best friend while you’re away! I'll provide you with updates and pictures throughout the walk/drop-in visit/stay. I have two dogs that are part of my family. I have a 10-year-old long-haired dachshund named Damien. My other dog is an 8-year-old white miniature poodle whose name is Chispa. Over the years, I have also dog sat for family members and neighbors. We always have a good time going on walks and playing with toys and going to the park! In addition, I have experience giving medication and caring for senior animals. I know how hard it may be to leave your animal behind but they will be in great hands and I will ensure to give you constant updates! Rest assured they will receive all the snuggles and treats from me! Can’t wait to meet your pet! - Diana
Reviews
Diana was super nice and kind to our dog and 2 cats! She was a great communicator and very easy to work with.
Diana was a great cat sitter and really seemed to enjoy my 2 cats over the holiday. She even organized my place a bit and left a lil holiday gift of cat toys and chocolate- which was a lovely surprise! I would suggest her if you need drop in visits!
I can't say enough great things about Diana! She is the ultimate lifesaver. My sitter cancelled a day before my scheduled vacation, leaving me frazzled and in a bind. I reached out to Diana and she totally came to the rescue. During the week Diana sent daily pictures to ensure my girls were happy. She took them on many walks, for a car ride (Prims favorite thing in the world), and even to the pet store where she bought them toys. I came home to a clean house, happy dogs, and a nice note with a printed picture collage. Traveling and leaving my girls at home is hard, but with a great sitter like Diana I will no longer worry. They miss her!
Diana is a animal lover and activist. Always finding ways to make animal gravitate towards her. I have 2 pit bulls and have continually asked for her assistance when going out of town. She took the time to meet with them and build a relationship with them. They love her more then me now. Diana is very responsible and compassionate towards all animals.
About Diana R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will check all the surrounding areas in your home/outside to ensure that it is safe and secure for your pet. I will make sure and that leashes and collars are on securely before any walk.
Information Diana R. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know beforehand if your dog does well with other dogs? Is the dog good on a leash? Any dietary restrictions? Any commands that your dog responds to?
A typical day
I love to toss the ball and play fetch with dogs to stimulate them physically. And also like using a snuffle mat with treats to stimulate them mentally! Going on walks is a great way to explore the neighborhood and find new fun places!

Availability
I can provide a minimum of two walks a day. If more walks are needed we can arrange that as well. And on the weekends I can take dogs to the park or beach for some extra playtime!
