Highlights
Pet care experience
Weekend home stay :)
A true animal lover, I have had many myself since I was a child growing up on a farm in the mountains of Andorra: horse, cats, rabbits, dogs, pigs, cows, sheep...I was lucky enough to be able to take my dogs with me to study at Plymouth University- marine biology and oceanography. Therefore, your furry best friend will also have the chance to make new pawsome mates to spend time with and above all, never get bored. My two dogs are called Salsa (jack russell cross) and Billie Eilish (working cocker spaniel), both part time working dogs for pack Boar hunt, mountain goat finds and rabbit hunt. More about myself- I did several weeks of volunteering in a veterinary clinic which gave me the energy needed, skills and patience with sick or old animals. Gentle, jovial and energetic in nature, I would be delighted to enjoy the outdoors with your furry friend during various walks a day, to clean it, feed it and of course to give as much love and cuddles as necessary. Serious and dynamic, I listen to your needs and those of your animal so that he feels as good as possible in your absence and during his stay with me and my partner which lives home aswell. I live near the Hoe and I can travel around Plymouth or its surrounding areas having my car here I offer pick up and drop off services!

Ratings and reviews
Brilliant sitter! Thanks Diana and Erin. Very competent and loving towards Merry from the outset. Videos and photos sent throughout the day. Merry seemed to feel very comfortable and made friends with Diana's other two lovely dogs. Would definitely book again if down that way again. Liz
Really pleased with Diana’s services and we can clearly see that Figgy enjoys staying. We get pics and updates of walks and play which confirms to us that Figgy is enjoying herself. We are particularly pleased with how Diana follows our feeding instructions and requests that ensures Figgy remains healthy, maintains her correct weight and is well exercised. Thank you and we highly recommend your services.
I could not be happier with how my dog Tara was made to feel every bit a part of Diana’s little family. Diana is so generous and kind, and made every effort to be as accommodating of Tara and my needs. Such a good dogsitter/person. Highly recommended.
Worzel, my 15 month old Bearded Collie, had the best weekend with Diana! Worzel can be a little under-confident with new people and places but he soon came out of his shell and had such a good time playing with the other dogs. Diana sent me loads of updates with photos and took Worzel out on some amazing adventures. It was reassuring to know he was well looked after while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him in again. Thank you so much.
We’re so happy with the wonderful care and love given to Figgy. She’s been on great walks in the woods and beaches getting lots of exercise and having fun with Diana’s dogs. She’s come back looking really healthy and happy.
Snoop had the best time staying with Diana, hes been on lovely walks, he’s been so well cared for and she genuinely loved having him. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Schedule
I am a student at the University of Plymouth and study marine biology and oceanography which means a lot of time at the beach with the pups to fill in this notebooks! I propose long stay and short stay as i don’t go out and live with my fiancé who is also a doggo lover!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
As previously said, I live by the Hoe which means it is a quick walk to a nice open space for dogs to exercise which is like a garden to me as walks are around 3-4 times a day for my two gorgeous girls. I also do have a little garden on the back of the flat which is secure but small that i therefore don’t use. During bad weather I use sniffin’ games, play hide and seek and get my pups to learn new tricks which could do with yours aswell :) Usually on a basis nice day and weekend we go 3h to the moors or Plymbridge to play and evening rest and walkies around the park. Sundays we go to central park and have an amazing time chasing squirrels or playing fetch ! We also go biking or rest depending on the energy of the dog!

A typical day
I wake up around 6:30 take the dogs on a 30 min walk then by 11-11:30 we go out for a 1h/2h at central park and then by 4pm we go for fun plays on the hoe. 10min walk before bedtime. During the day as i study home it’s plenty of cuddles and learning about marine biology :)
