About Diane C.

Communication

5 repeat pet parents
100% response rate
Usually responds in a few minutes
50% bookings with photo updates

Dog skills

24 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Injected medication administration
Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and let my own dog out frequently during the day. Jacky is a 14 pound schnauzer mix who gets along with all people and most dogs....he loves to play and acts much younger than his age. My cats pay no attention to my dog and are adept at jumping up on something high if they feel the need to avoid anything (vacuum lol). I have experience giving shots, meds, hand feeding....older dogs sometimes need more time and assistance.

Information Diane C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any quirks or special likes. Scared of loud thunder? Eats toys? Loves fetch? That kind of thing.

A typical day

Dogs live to smell and we get that every day on the dog walk. At least 45 minutes every morning. Also my yard is large enough to throw a ball and get the zoomies.

Pet care experience

I've owned several dogs over the years, and they're all special! I have experience with older dogs and didn't adopt my own until I was home full time in retirement. Who likes being alone? My doggy routine involves at least one 45 minute walk in the morning, and playtimes during the day. Your dog will be treated just like mine, and will be on the couch, in my lap and on the bed. The animals (I also have two cats) have the run of the house except when I'm out for exercise class, etc and then I do crate them until I return.

Diane took Fantastic care of Winston for a week. It was so very nice to go on vacation and not worry about him. She genuinely cares and enjoys dogs, was super easy to work with, has a great yard, sent us pictures and updates. Winston was very well cared for and had a good time with her and Jackie. Thank you so very much Diane!!!!

It's never easy to find a new sitter when you move to a new area. We were so fortunate to find Diane through Rover. Honey is a loving and sweet dog, but nervous about new situations. Diane understood and went the second mile to care for her. What a blessing!

Prissy really enjoyed staying with Ms Diane. She got lots of snuggles and love which is exactly what Prissy wants.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
