Pet care experience

Part-time human, part-time dog

Hi, thanks for stopping by. Dogs have always been a constant part of my life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I had my first dog when I was eight, and over the years growing up we had five dogs in total at home, often caring for several at once. That experience taught me early on how to manage different personalities, routines, and energy levels all under one roof. As an adult, I continued building on that foundation by volunteering as a dog walker with a Cornwall-based charity, The Cinnamon Trust, where I supported elderly and vulnerable owners by walking their dogs. That role helped me develop a calm, patient approach and a strong understanding of dogs who may need extra reassurance or gentle handling. Alongside this, for the past six years I have been dog sitting regularly for clients, so I’m very used to caring for dogs in different homes and adapting quickly to new routines, environments, and individual needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every dog as an individual. I take time to understand their routines, comfort levels, and quirks so they feel safe, settled, and happy while their owners are away.

I have two dogs, so I'm not able to have dogs at my house, but I am able to come to people's homes.

Diana was a great sitter. She watched our dogs Graham and Raea at a rental property and the dogs and the property were well cared for. Thanks so much!

Diana helped us out when we visited friends in Penzance. She was friendly, punctual and quick to respond to my questions in advance of the appointment. When we met she had a very nice approach to our dog at their meeting. During the sitting she gave him plenty of exercise and attention. He was a very relaxed dog when he returned to us. I can heartily recommend Dianna.

Diana was fantastic! She made Lily feel so at ease with her from the moment she walked through the door. Lily has separation anxiety, but I returned home and she was so chilled and had been sleeping. Would 100% use Diana again!

Diana is amazing!! We could not have been more delighted with the way Diana cared for our two dogs. She was so brilliant - the dogs loved her from the moment she arrived. If you are looking for someone to take wonderful care of your dogs, we cannot recommend Diana highly enough.

Diana was fantastic! She was flexible and understanding with our timings, given our holiday (& friend's wedding) in St Ives. Our Bernese mountain dog, Ruby loved her company! We would definitely book again with Diana!

Schedule

At the moment, pet care is a regular part of my daily life. I dogsit most days, so caring for dogs is fully built into my weekly routine rather than something occasional. My days are structured around the dogs I’m looking after, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific routines provided by their owners. Because I do this so frequently, I’m very used to adapting quickly to different dogs and households, and making sure each dog gets consistent care and attention throughout the day.
