Pet care experience
Aunt Diane and the Frying Pan
What might set me apart from other sitters is that I am a Certified Body Code and Emotion Code energy practioner and my clients are dogs, horses, cats and humans. Meaning, I have the ability to help your pet be more comfortable with me and in life. After being a live-in companion of sorts for my elderly mother for the last few years it’s time for the next chapter of life to take off. So I’ve set out to be a house sitter and pet caregiver in exchange for a place to live. I’m open to whatever your pets might need. And I don’t have any pets of my own, having put down my dog Cheetah in 2023 at the age of 16. Respect, timeliness, and reliability are high priorities for me when I’m caring for your pets and housesitting. Professionally I am an accomplished Human Resources professional. My current clients are small business owners around the USA. I specialize in providing HR services to mental wellness therapy practices. I’m also an accomplished artist, with experience in several media. Additionally, I am a Certified Body Code and Emotion Code energy healer. My clients are humans, dogs, cats, and horses. All of my income comes from remote work. There is no need for me to have any clients visit me where I am housesitting. My experience with animals includes: • Feeding goats, horses, chickens, fish, indoor birds, outdoor birds, cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters and gerbils. • Tenderly administering insulin shots to my large dog. • Gently giving fluid injections to my rabbit. • Successfully giving pills and drops to animals I’m watching. • Walking and otherwise caring for dogs who are tripod, or blind, or too nervous to walk on a leash well. • Taking dogs, cats, and bunnies to the veterinarian. • Providing over 50 remote Body Code and Emotion Code energy rebalancing sessions to a wild mustang with anger and behavioral issues, located with his human advocate on Monty Roberts’ Flag is Up ranch in California • Providing sessions to a handful of individual horses in Virginia, and in California. • Providing many remote Body Code and Emotion Code energy rebalancing sessions to a service dog of a military Veteran. My experience living neatly, carefully, and respectfully in other homes includes: Living with my friend and her family in their 4,000 SF home in North Carolina for over a year, with my large dog and my small dog. 2017-2018 Living with a friend of a friend in her vintage 1,000 SF home in North Carolina for four months with my large dog and my small dog. 2018 Living with my elderly mother in her 2,000 SF condominium in Illinois for five years with my small dog. 2019 to 2024. My experience working with home improvement contractors includes: Outside: Lawn care, pest control, village utilities, trash collectors, police. Inside: Outgoing furniture donations, repair of large appliances, fixing leaks, mitigating when an security alarm goes off, etc. Personal interests of mine: Serving as a civilian supporter in online Veteran peer-to-peer support groups. Adopting dogs with disabilities. I am an artist accomplished in a variety of media. Singing and dancing like nobody’s watching…when I think nobody’s watching. Thanks for reviewing my profile! Please reach out to inquire about my availability and to discuss your needs. - Diane

Ratings and reviews
Diane was great. They really enjoyed having her house sit and watch them for a few days. She kept me up to speed throughout the weekend. I Highly recommend.
What an amazing first experience with Rover and being so lucky to come across Diane to care for my dog. You will get all the warmth and care you could ever wish for for your pet from Diane. She communicated everything perfectly in advance of and all throughout. I got adorable pictures of my dog and her new favorite human throughout the day. You’re in good hands with Diane and won’t have a single thing to worry about while you’re away.
Diane was amazing! She was so communicative the entire time. This was the first time leaving my dogs for more than a weekend, and I didn’t have any doubt about it with her. She treated them like they were her own! I think they were more sad about her leaving than they were excited about us coming back from out of town!! My dogs are two crazy BIG dogs so I know they’re a lot to deal with, but she did great with them. I’m sure they’re excited for the next time we leave so they can spend more time with her :)
This is the third time Diane has cared for our brood of 3 cats and a goofy puppo. She is such a professional, where we don't have to spend one second worrying about what's happening with the kids. Diane is phenomenal with communication and meets the girls where they are, with their various needs. They have all become her biggest fans! And so our we, of course! Her messages are hilarious and charming, and it's obvious how much they enjoy being in Diane's presence. She's one in a million!
Diane took wonderful care with our dog Chloe. She kept us up to date with how Chloe was doing, as well as many adorable pictures. Our home was clean and everything in order when we returned. I highly recommend Diane if you are looking for a pet sitter in your home.
Our dogs adore Diane and we are so grateful for the care she provides! Diane completely puts our minds at ease with excellent care, and communication. Her dedication is top-notch!

Schedule
My work is done remotely, and so I am at home with the animals most of the day. In meetings with clients, it's not unusual to be holding a dog or cat and introducing them so as to bring a smile to those in attendance.
