Highlights
Pet care experience
Girl that says "Hi" to all Animals!
I have been a volunteer at the Humane Rescue Alliance for the past 3 years. I am the person that talks to all animals, flowers, plants etc. My two pups were rescues, there human had died. I saw them on Facebook, went to the petstore and came home with two papilions! They were 8 & 9 years old, the littiest things. My heart! They lived the best life up until the day they left us. After that I started at the shelter helping everyone else get the same chance. I have learned so much about behavior and care. I am trained in all departments except the spay and neuter. I am also 1/2 way complete Fearless Shelter Training Cert, this is what staff recieve for cats and dogs.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Diane's great work with pets is based on training and experience. I appreciate the trainings she takes at the local shelter in order to work with pets in that environment. This approach carries over to her interactions with pets in social settings. Her passion is obvious and her training give trust that pets in her care are in responsible hands.
Diane took incredible care of my dog, Samantha, while I was away on a week-long trip. I am incredibly discerning in who I leave Samantha with. Diane goes above and beyond, is so responsible, and loves dogs so much that I was not anxious for one second while I was gone. Diane sent multiple photos and videos a day. They went on long walks and hikes, Diane put up with Sam's endless energy for fetch, and even made her scrambled eggs (her favorite treat). By the time I got home, Sam was happy, worn out, and frankly, a little bummed to be home. Diane will treat your dog like her own. I already have her lined up for my next trip, and I'll be sending everyone I know her way.

Schedule
I am currently looking for a job and volunteering with the Humane Rescue Alliance and the American Red Cross. I would love to have a pet, but I know I can't commit to one at the moment, so I enjoy helping care for animals whenever possible. My schedule is flexible.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a secure condo building with a large private patio and easy access to a shaded grassy area. I am just a few blocks from Rock Creek Park and Pierce Mill, so there are plenty of places to enjoy the outdoors. I will be the one caring for your pet. Your pet will have my full attention while staying with me.
A typical day
Activities will be tailored to your pet’s needs and preferences. I will ensure your pet only participates in activities they enjoy, creating a stress-free experience for pets, owners, and caregivers. Special requests are always welcome and will be considered.
