Loving, Fun, Experienced Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs since I was very young. I have personally owned and trained dogs of all sizes (up to 110 pounds), breeds, temperament and life situations. I have fostered many homeless/shelter dogs of all ages and sizes. I even had an American Bully that was 115lbs. I have walked, pet sit, provided daycare, you name it! I have many years experience giving medications, and have nursed dogs and cats back to health after surgeries. I have conquered behavioral issues, major medical issues, hyper puppy energy and calm senior energy. I am very active and would love to keep your dog happy with walks, runs and hikes or just chillin’ in the backyard. Whatever they like!

Diane was punctual and very easy to communicate with. Furthermore, she took great care of our cat and was attentive to all his needs. Would definitely recommend her to others and would continue going forward.

Diane and Moncef and the kids are incredible. They are so loving and welcoming and they went above and beyond for my 3 dogs. I felt as if I was leaving them with family. They are wonderful dog sitters and even better human beings. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m flexible with how I care for your babies. I like to make them feel as comfortable as possible and not interrupt their routine or lifestyle as much as possible. If at my house, I can use a crate if you desire or let them roam. I have a fenced yard to play in and your pet will always be attended. I follow the rules you set for them at home.

Information Diane B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I have a vast amount of experience with all types of animals and have no problem dealing with a special case. Being away from their human(s) is stressful and I strive to give each pet the love, attention and special care they would normally receive in their home environment. Communication between the humans is key to being able to deliver the best quality service for your pets.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog physically and challenge them mentally. I like to start the mornings with a nice brisk walk/hike to one of the 3 nearby parks so they relax throughout the day. I love to play hide and seek or with toys in the backyard, teach them new tricks or basic obedience if necessary. If they are good with other dogs, I’ll take them to a dog park and/or agility park and let them run around. If a permissible by their human, I’ll even take them with me on errands.
