Loving care for your furry family
Pet care experience
Dog sitting since 2014, on Rover since 2018. Come along with @dianadogstagram on Insta. 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. Through working with dogs, I refined my abilities to be 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.

Reviews
Diana T took care of our “handful “ dogs for 5 days. She is so intuitive and caring. She was able to intermittently train and offer great ideas to help calm their nerves. She sent us daily updates and photos which eased our minds. I can’t recommend Diana enough. She is a small anxious dog whisperer!! Many thanks!! 🙏🙏💕🐾
Diana is great! She really understands the “Handfuls” that are our dogs!
Diana made a great job. She took care of Tino very well, and convinced him to go for a walk. Tino is shy, and he doesn't easily trust people, so that says a lot about her skills. She also send us photos and updates daily.
Diana is responsive, respectful, and great with dogs! She was thankfully available on short notice to watch our spunky little dog - he liked her right away and she was great with him, giving him plenty of exercise and attention. We really appreciated that she was able to help us accommodate an unexpectedly later return home so we didn’t have to worry about our pup. She was respectful to our home and left everything clean. Highly recommend Diana!

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 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.
Information Diana T. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
*** DOG CARE *** I like to take dogs to nearby parks when possible. Fetch and tug make a fun playtime. We can If your dog likes cuddles, I'm down for that, too. Whatever your dog likes, I'm happy to provide. Training: I'm happy to support the training you have in place or are working on with your dog. I am happy to offer new ideas to further your training goals. I love enhancing the relationship between you and your pet through the positive rapport that is good training. *** CAT CARE *** I provide care according to individual cat needs. Whether your pet is a jungle kitty or a lap cat, I'm there for what your cat is looking for. Socialization: I'm especially good with pets who are reticent to relate to humans. I had two wonderful cats who I brought in from being a feral kitten to incredibly sweet house cats. I adopted one and one went to her very loving forever home. I understand and respect the process. *** NOTES *** While I make myself available on weekends, I am not usually available for pet sitting which requires my 100% presence on Friday or Saturday night. I can stay over on those nights. Parking: I will need either off-street parking, or on-street parking that is reliably available within one block of your home. If your neighborhood has time limits on parking for non-residents, I will need either an off-street parking spot or a temporary tag to park on the street for the days involved. With any service, I communicate with you, so you know that when you're away, your furry family is well cared for.

I work remotely on my computer, so 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.
