passionate, loyal animal caregiver
Pet care experience
I have been an animal lover since I was a child and had many pets of my own. I have 14 years experience as a dog sitter, walker, owner and friend to many different dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. Most dogs I meet are quite friendly and comfortable with me right away. I love to interact with animals and find joy and peace being able to care for and play with them. I am very reliable, and enjoy the companionship of dogs, cats, and other animals. I will be walking, feeding, exercising and providing a happy, playful, fun, peaceful time every time I'm with your animal and other than walks and exercise, spend most of my time at the home while I am sitting and if I'm out then your dog can go every place I would frequent that are always animals welcome. All the dogs I have taken care of are very happy to see me show up at their home. My fee is competitive which generally has an increase per day for each additional dog. This includes walks in your neighborhood or nearby park. Other animal companions, and any special duties can result in additional increases. I normally do not transport your animal unless its medical reasons or of course an emergency. I can take care of your mail/deliveries, watering any plants, trash, and other housekeeping duties. I am very clean and tidy and will leave your home as clean or cleaner than when I arrived. I will give you updates by phone, text or email, and take photographs of your dog(s) which I can share with you by text or email. I have given medications in the past in the form of pills, ointments, eye drops, with which I am totally comfortable with but not at all with needle administration. My hours are very flexible and can be determined based on your schedule. I'm excited to share my love of animals with your special loved animal and can't wait to meet them and you!!
Reviews
Nice!
I couldnt have asked for a better experience of having Diane as my dog sitter! She sent me updates on my dogs eating, potty breaks, and play time every time she was with him. She seems to generally love/ connect with animals which is crucial in any time your leaving your pets in the care of others. I would highly recommend Diane to anyone looking to have their dogs cared for!
Diane the best in a crunch
I am not usually one to write a review but in this instance I feel its a must!! Coda and I could not be happier with Diane! She was such a great help this past week looking after Coda. Working nights & having to be out of the house for long periods would not be fair to Coda. It was important to me to find someone that was willing to come in the evenings and give Coda the attention she needed. I found that person in Diane!! She is upbeat, motivated & most importantly is an animal lover! Coda was an instant fan of Diane! I feel more than comfortable with her being in my home & looking after my fur baby. Diane sends me videos & pictures of the two of them playing & hanging out so I know that Coda is having a blast! I would highly recommend her to anyone that wants nothing but the best for their pet.

Information Diane F. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs! I do not have any breed or size preferences. I like to know what kind of routine your dog has and I try to adhere to aspects of that so they feel more comfortable. For example, what activities make them happiest and which activities don't they enjoy? Are there certain noises or areas that frighten your dog and where are their favorite places to go or favorite things to do? After sitting and walking with your dog we will develop our own routine before long.
A typical day
I love to take your dog on walks, play with their toys with them, give them lots of belly rubs, hugs and kisses!
