Highlights
Pet care experience
For friendly, shy, or reactive dogs
New to Alameda! Dog sitting since 2014, on Rover since 2018. As a dog sitter and walker, I have had the great pleasure of working with a wide variety of dogs. This includes senior, special needs, anxious, and reactive dogs. I have also enjoyed working with deaf and visually-impaired dogs, and dogs with limb amputations. Working with dogs, I am kind, calm, and observant while encouraging activity and joy. These qualities not only help me with anxious, reactive, and aggressive dogs, they help me care better for all dogs. Having completed the Dog Trainer Foundations course at the Karen Pryor Academy, I am increasing my understanding of dog behavior and effective communication with dogs.
Cat care experience
Diana also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I take the safety of your pet very seriously. I care for your pet according to your instructions. I am careful to keep "escape artists" inside when coming to or going from your residence. I allow dogs off leash only with your permission and when they are strongly responsive to voice recall. I am mindful of our surroundings and potential issues in the home and when walking your pet.
Ratings and reviews
Diana took excellent care of my 15-year old dog and was very easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend her and hope to use her again for our next trip!
Diana was a great pet sitter!!! She watched my cats and dog was so helpful! She communicated multiple times a day and my animals loved her. Thank you Diana.
Diana was very communicative and willing to take on care of my spicy kitty.
It’s always a pleasure to return home and know all will be well! Diana is very thoughtful, and I appreciate my cat and home in her good care.
Diana is the only trainer for me and Rosie that has made a break through. Both Rosie and I understand her clear directions. Diana is also a good dog walker, patience is a virtue. She is on time and friendly.
Prompt response & flexible to accommodate a last min request; pup was very happy post walk :)

Schedule
I work remotely on my computer, so I am available mid-day walks during the work week. When pet sitting, I can spend a lot of time around your pets. That is in addition to the time I spend walking, playing with, petting, and otherwise caring for your pet.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsDogs over 1 year oldDiana can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- I would like to know about your dog's or cat's temperament, eating and sleeping habits, exercise and play needs, what may trigger anxiety or reactivity, what helps them feel safe and secure, and any other pertinent information you may have. I especially encourage folks with pit bulls and other misunderstood breeds to contact me.
