Pawfect Pet Caregiver

I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember! Some of my earliest (and happiest) memories are with my Maltese, who truly was my best friend growing up. I was with her through every stage of life—raising her as a puppy, caring for her as she grew older, and loving her all the way to the very end. She taught me patience, kindness, and how to care for dogs of all ages. More recently, I raised a husky puppy (the sweetest, goofiest, most gentle soul!), which gave me the chance to freshen up on my puppy experience. Beyond dogs, I’ve cared for all sorts of animals—cats, hamsters, mice, fish, parakeets, sugar gliders, hermit crabs, and even chickens. I’m a huge animal lover through and through, and I’ve always surrounded myself with furry, feathery, and scaly friends. I often joke that I should’ve gone to vet school instead of medical school because of how much joy animals bring me! Your pets truly become my pets when they’re with me. That means walks, potty breaks, playtime, snuggles, and plenty of love. As a dog mom myself, I know how important peace of mind is, so I’ll send at least two picture/video updates a day to show you how well your baby is doing. My motto is: if you’re going to do something, do it with your whole heart—and that’s exactly how I approach caring for animals. I live in a spacious 3,336 sq ft home with a large, well-maintained backyard perfect for playtime. Fresh, filtered water is always available and replaced every few hours to keep things clean and cool. We also keep three big toy bins (rotated seasonally!) to keep pups entertained, and if your furbaby is staying with us over a holiday, we love to make it extra special for them so they feel right at home. Consider my home your pet’s home away from home—and expect them to be loved and spoiled every step of the way! 🐾💛

The absolute best Rover that we've had so far. They loved our pups the way we do and always sent adorable updates. Pups came back to us so happy.

Diana and her husband were so great! I have an elderly dog that cannot walk and requires extra care and attention. Diana went above and beyond. She cared for him like he was her own and sent several updates with pictures, and videos each day.

No better peace of mind than leaving our pup with, Diana. She goes above and beyond each time.

Diana did an incredible job for the few days she boarded our George. We felt totally comfortable with the thorough updates she provided. George came home happy as a clam which, was indicative of his amazing stay. Would absolutely recommend ?.

Diana has been the sweetest, most flexible sitter we have ever had. We have hired her multiple times now and everytime she is very nice and accommodating. She and her husband take such good care of our two huskies and there own dog Oakley is such a sweet heart, I know they have such a good time whenever I drop them off. My dogs get so excited when we pull up to the house. And when i bring them home after a stay there somehow a little better behaved than before. I can tell how much love they put into caring for them. I'll definitely keep hiring them as long as I can.

Schedule

My schedule changes week to week since I’m a fellow physician, but no matter what, I always carve out time for my pup—and I’ll do the same for yours! I would never accept a booking unless I know I have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to your furbaby. On days when I may be busier, my husband Andrew (who you’ll also get to meet at our meet & greet!) works from home and will be there to supervise, play with, and love on your pet. He’s just as much of an animal lover as I am, so your furbaby will always have someone giving them attention and care.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of room for zoomies and playtime—both indoors and outdoors! My own sweet pup, Oakley, will be your furbaby’s built-in playmate and buddy during their stay. Of course, I always keep a close eye on all interactions to make sure everyone is safe, happy, and comfortable. ❤️

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping dogs both mentally and physically stimulated! On our walks, your pup will get to sniff and explore to their heart’s content. Once we’re back, we can play tug-of-war, fetch, tag—whatever your dog enjoys most! On weekends, I often take pups to the dog park for extra space to run and play, as well as safe social time with other dogs (I always supervise closely to make sure everyone is comfortable). I also like to mix things up with short car rides or fun, dog-friendly outings whenever possible—keeping each day exciting and enriching for your furbaby.
