Your dog’s loving second family
Hi, I’m Diana! My boys and I absolutely love dogs, and we truly treat every pup like part of our family. We used to have a dog of our own, and we really miss that joyful, loving energy in our home — so welcoming your pup into our lives feels natural for all of us. I work from home, which means your dog gets lots of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Most days they’re simply hanging out with us, following the family rhythm, getting cuddles, or coming along for walks. My boys are 9 and 12, and they’re wonderful with dogs — gentle, respectful, and old enough to understand boundaries. Many pet parents appreciate that we’re past the toddler stage and have a calm, dog-savvy household. We’re an active, playful San Clemente family with so much love and energy to share. We also have a sweet, 15-year-old cat who was raised with a dog and is very comfortable with respectful pups. Dogs tend to settle in quickly here because the environment is warm, calm, and full of affection — the kind of home where they naturally feel included and safe. ⸻ Why Pet Parents Love Us • Work-from-home = lots of companionship • Warm, family-centered environment • Gentle, respectful kids (ages 9 & 12) • Daily photo updates • Plenty of walks, play, and affection • A dog-friendly senior cat • Dogs truly feel like part of our family while they’re here ⸻ What Your Dog Can Expect Your pup will be included in our daily flow — walks, playtime, naps, family time, and lots of snuggles. They’ll enjoy a relaxed, loving home where they receive attention, structure, and comfort throughout their stay. ⸻ Services We Offer • Boarding • Daycare • Walks, feeding, structured play, and rest time • Oral meds, cleanup, and gentle care • Extra love included in every stay 💛 ⸻ Home Environment We live in a cozy, welcoming home in San Clemente with a relaxed, family vibe. There’s space for dogs to move around, nap in sunny spots, and feel comfortable. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, and they’re naturally part of the daily household rhythm. ⸻ Schedule I work from home with a flexible daily routine, so dogs get plenty of company, engagement, and supervision throughout the day. Your pup will rarely be alone and will be included in family activities, walks, and downtime. ⸻ Pets in the Home We have one sweet, senior cat (15 years old) who was raised with a dog and does well with calm, respectful pups. She mostly keeps to herself and appreciates dogs who give her space. ⸻ Requirements (for everyone’s safety and comfort) To keep our home safe, healthy, and peaceful — especially with our senior cat — I kindly ask that all visiting dogs are: • Fully housebroken • Up to date on Rabies + Distemper/Parvo vaccines • On regular flea/tick prevention • Sleeping through the night (no overnight potty breaks) • Comfortable with cats and able to coexist respectfully These guidelines help ensure a calm, clean, and enjoyable environment for all pets in our home. * My rates are currently set to be welcoming for new clients while I establish my first few reviews, but still reflect the attentive, family-style, work-from-home care your dog will receive.

Ratings and reviews
Diana was absolutely incredible! She watched our puppy, Sonny, for five days while we were out of town, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear how caring, thoughtful, and attentive she is. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Sonny was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We especially loved receiving daily photos and videos, and she stayed in constant communication with us throughout our trip. Seeing Sonny playing with Diana and her two sons made it obvious he was being treated like part of the family. One thing we didn't anticipate was that this was Sonny's first time being away from us overnight, and we quickly learned he's not the best sleeper when he's in a new environment. Diana handled it with so much patience, grace, and flexibility. She worked through it without ever making us feel like it was a burden and gave our needy puppy exactly the care and reassurance he needed. By the time we picked Sonny up, it was almost heartbreaking—he had become so attached to Diana and her sons that it genuinely felt like he wanted to stay! That's about the highest compliment we could give. Diana gave us complete peace of mind knowing Sonny was in loving, capable hands. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter on Rover. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!
Perfect weekend for my dog Hope
Great experience. They took such nice care of our dog Hope and treated her as part of the family. My dog loved it, so we do as well. Diana was very flexible and communicated a lot with pics and messages. Her boys also took great care of Hope.
We had such a great experience! She took wonderful care of Moses and kept me updated with plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Moses was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!
Diana is an incredible pet-parent and caregiver. She’s been a cat and dog owner her entire life and always goes above and beyond for her fur babies. She would make an excellent pet sitter and caregiver and her boys would be great companions to new pet friends.

A typical day
A typical day in our home includes plenty of companionship, playtime, and walks around our neighborhood. I work from home, so dogs are included in our daily rhythm with snuggles, outdoor breaks, relaxed family time, and lots of gentle attention from my boys.
