Highlights
Pet care experience
Honest and dependable animal lover
Hello! Since I was a child I've been a huge lover of animals. I have my own 6-year-old boxer mix who is a sweetheart but a handful (leash reactive to other dogs) and volunteered as a dog walker for the DC Humane Rescue Alliance for six months in 2023, so I have a lot of experience handling dogs with a variety of temperaments and personalities. I currently have wide-open availability after being recently furloughed from my full-time job due to the Executive Order freezing foreign aid. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry babes!

Ratings and reviews
Diana was absolutely amazing, and we truly can’t thank her enough! She took such wonderful care of my parents’ 14-year-old Morkie while they were away. When their return flight was unexpectedly cancelled due to a blizzard, we were in a real bind — but Diana stepped up without hesitation and extended her stay for an additional three days. Her flexibility and calm, can-do attitude made a very stressful situation so much easier for all of us. Not only did she make sure our sweet senior pup was comfortable, loved, and well cared for, but she also went above and beyond by helping us shovel snow during the storm. That level of kindness and initiative is rare. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog — and even our home — were in such capable and caring hands. I would highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and truly exceptional!
Diana was amazing! She was so good with Maizy and took great care of her and made sure she was spoiled!

There is no one who will take better care of your pet in your absence than Diana. She has cared for my dog for as long as 10 days at a time spanning a few years and I always have full faith in the care he’s received. I know that not only are his basic physical needs being attended to but that he’s being loved by Diana as if he were her own dog. I highly recommend Diana for all your pet care needs.
Diana is simply the best. She's known as Auntie Diana around here, and she's one of my dog's most favorites. I had every confidence that Diana was truly caring for my dog like she was her own. If you're looking for someone to truly enjoy your pet while you're away or someone who will walk your dog with delight and patience - look no further. I can't think of anyone I'd trust more with my sweet pup than Auntie Diana.

With a deep appreciation for all living creatures, Diana enjoys spending time with pets, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply offering a comforting presence, she approaches pet care with patience, responsibility, and genuine affection. Any pet under her care will receive the highest level of attention and love.
Our family has several pets. Currently we have two dogs, a cat, hamster and fish. Two of our pets are rescue animals. Our cat was adopted from CLAWS about 6 years ago. He is an indoor/outdoor cat. One of our dogs was rescued as a puppy from Angels for Animals. She was born with a deformed right paw. Unfortunately, she ,needed to have her leg removed. When she came to us she had been living in several foster homes and remains to this day, an anxious but loving companion. Diana has been a reliable pet sitter for me for several years. She is both responsible and caring with my pets. She always goes above and beyond what is necessary. Since Diana is a bona fide animal lover, my pets love when she arrives! She often has to make numerous trips to wait for our cat to decide it's time to come in and eat. She is also very patient with Nikki, our rescue dog. Nikki loves to run and play, but has difficulty going on walks. She often walks each dog separately so she can give her the exercise she needs without making her go too quickly. She has confidently administered medicine, cleaned up any messes and most importantly, showered our pets with love and respect. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter.
