Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet Staycation Extraordinaire!!!
I grew up with Beagles and German Shepherds , cats, lots of wild animals and since then, have cared for other breeds small and large. This has included the whole range of daily love and attention, feeding and exercise as well as administering oral and topical medicines, caring for broken bones, and post-neutering care. My personal standard is: safety first, love and attention, exercise, giving meds, reassurance, and lots of on-the-floor fun play, tummy rubs and scratching behind the ears! My house offers indoor space for comfort and cozy security while the outdoor yard is walled, safe and always available for sunshine, movement, lazing about and change of scenery.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
My dog had an absolutely wonderful time over with Diane! She took great care with keeping me updated through the week and letting me know whenever issues occurred as well as giving her more than enough love!
Bio indicated that she only watches one family at a time and I confirmed multiple times before booking that my dog would be the only dog there. The day we showed up to drop him off, there was another dog already staying with her. I had no choice but to trust as I could not sort out a backup option day of travel. He was returned to us a week later safe but I think Diane was not a good fit for us and everyone involved was made anxious and stressed because of it.
Ms. Diane was Simply Amazing with Our Pups! From Coordinating a Meet and Greet to Updating Us Daily, She is an All Around Friendly Animal Lover Who is Meticulous and Caring. Gus and Finn Enjoyed Their time with Diane, Thank You!
Nothing shy of amazing!! Bailey came back home every day exhausted, happy and loved. Diane is amazing!!
This was our first experience with rover and a sitter. Diane was an amazing sitter! She was truly such a joy to meet. She welcomed us with kindness and loved on our pups as soon as she met them, which gave us peace of mind knowing they would be in Diane’s attentive care. She’s a great communicator and updated us with messages, photos and videos of their walks, enjoying their snacks and relaxing! What a blessing to have found Diane! We’d love for her to watch them again in the future.
Diane is a wonderful person! She is so kind and Mellow loves her. Every time I leave Mellow with Diane when traveling, I have a peace of mind and don’t worry about my dog, as I know he is in good hands. Mellow stayed with Diane twice now and we will be returning to her whenever we need to leave Mellow.

Schedule
Caring for pets fits well with my schedule: my volunteer and recreational activities are flexible and I am able to adapt them to my petsitting commitments. Depending on your pet's individual needs, I will tailor my day to prioritize your pet's safety, comfort and happiness..
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is set up to be safe for humans and animals. The sliding door, doggie door and stair gate are options that may be appropriate depending on the preferences of the pet or pet owner. There are also cozy corners and hideaways available for pets who want a quiet spot away from everything ;+]. Unless sitting 2 animals from the same owner, I concentrate my attention to one pet at a time to minimize possible conflict and maximize pet safety and comfort. If they play well together, then we party inside and out!!!
A typical day
We will start the day with ear scratching, breakfast in separate places, some play in the backyard in the morning sun, and then a brisk or leisurely walk in the bosque. We can also explore good walking circuits in the neighborhood that are safe and serene. Back at home, there is a doggie door as well as a sliding door, so poochies have access to the outside at all times, to soak up the sun, sniff around or fun and frolic with others. Afternoon nap time, snacks, another walk outside, frisking about together, anything goes for the afternoon. Evening meal, watching Jeopardy or Shark Tank and some cuddling are perennial favorites and the run-up to a quiet slumber for the night in a cozy bed, crate or open space ;+]
