Highlights
Pet care experience
Fluent in Woofs & Meows
Hi! I’m Diane, and I’ve been caring for animals for about 15 years. I’ve had pets of my own for most of my life and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need lots of play and patience to older pets who would rather have a slower walk and some company on the couch. I genuinely love animals and tend to treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, very attentive to their routines and behavior, and I’m more than happy to provide plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I try to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, crates, medications, doors/gates, and any house rules you have. I’m also very mindful of body language and never force interaction with a nervous or unsure pet. Their safety and comfort always come first, along with respecting your home while I’m there.
Ratings and reviews
Great with cats!!!! I have a 4 yo tortoiseshell that is weary of new comers, but has really warmed up to Diane over the last several months. No matter the hiding spot Diane always makes sure to find her and give treats before she leaves. It is nice to have someone reliable to count on during long days or trips out of town. Can only speak for cats but if she is good with my picky cat I'm sure excels with all animals. 10/10.
Would trust my fur babies with no other! Diane has been walking and pet sitting our pups for a while now. She is constantly sending pictures / videos and giving me updates on their walks and demeanors during check ins. Always on time and has never missed a scheduled appointment. When we go out of town without the pups, she is the first person we reach out to. She is an all around pet loving person and handles our two pups with great care. We recently lost a pup and she was extra kind in giving our second pup lots of attention during that difficult time. Many months later we now have a new adopted dog and she was well prepared to help us take on the task of a “rowdier” pup. Being good with senior and new pups is a blessing. She takes extra care of them while out and about on walks and when inside our home. Highest praise’s for this lady! With diane you can know your babies are well taken care of. Thank you for all you do for our girls!!
We are a California couple who received services from Diane. She did an amazing job! Our dog was fed, walked, and received a lot of snuggles and pets from Diane. I would absolutely recommend her! For reference our dog is a 10 year old Goldendoodle.

Schedule
My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m available for pet care throughout the day and evening. Whether you need an early morning walk, midday potty break, afternoon playtime, evening feeding, or overnight care, I can usually work around your pet’s normal routine.

- I’d love to know as much about your pet’s normal routine as possible, including feeding times, bathroom habits, favorite activities, medications, allergies, and any quirks or behaviors I should be aware of. Please also let me know how they do with other dogs, cats, strangers, children, or anything they may be nervous or reactive around. There’s no judgment—I’d much rather know ahead of time so I can keep everyone safe and make your pet comfortable.
