I am a Critter Care Extraordinaire!
Pet care experience
I am a pet-a-holic! Don't board your pet (s) with strangers, who probably will not have time to give them the tender loving care and attention they need while you are away. Pets suffer from separation anxiety when their owners are not around. They can become depressed and become physically ill. I will make sure this never happens to your animal children! I will be their step-parent in your absence. Just provide me with a tee shirt, or other item belonging to you. This will soothe them and I will take care of the rest! I have had pets all of my life, starting with a "ducklette" at the age of 4....What in the heck were my parents thinking? When she became more of a duck, she was given to friends who had a beautiful pond in their back yard. I have always been the "go-to" person, when my friends and family were going to be away. I have adopted many animals, along the way and I have participated in "Share-A-Pet" programs in nursing homes and the Veterans' Administration Medical Centers, Some years ago, my father administered "mouth-to-snout" resuscitation and CPR to our dog, who had bitten into an electrical cord, under water of a dock in a lake. The dog was clinically dead, but was was revived. His recovery was slow, but he went on to live another 8 years with no lingering challenges. What I learned from that experience was that PETS ARE PEOPLE TOO, and no efforts should be spared to help them and heal them! -Amen. I will offer all the love and attention your pet(s) needs and wants. I care equally about your peace of mind as Mom and/or Dad! Mine is a pet-friendly environment! Your pet is absolutely allowed to lounge/sleep on the sofa, bed, or wherever he/she takes comfort, unless you specify that you discourage this behavior in your home. In that case, I will make sure your pet has a comfy space on the floor. My kitchen has vinyl flooring and I have a gate for times I may have to step out for a limited amount of time. All cleaning supplies and other potentially harmful items are securely stowed away

Diane & Clarke are the best sitters we have had. When we left Finn in their care this weekend, we had no doubts he would be treated as if he were their own dog. Diane sent tons of picture updates, which I loved. They were also kind enough to bring Finn to our wedding Saturday so he could be in the ceremony. They went above and beyond for us and we can’t thank them enough!! Thank you both and thanks Brewster for keeping Finn company ❤️❤️
Outstanding. Diane treated our dog with love. Our dog was happy when we picked her up. Diane’s outdoor space is perfect. I will definitely use her again. I’m so grateful that I know Gilly was well cared for and happy.
Diane and Clarke kept our anxious Sheba and loved her like their own. We received pictures with updates and felt very comfortable knowing she was being well cared for as a part of their family. We were treated the same. Don’t hesitate booking with this loving couple. Diane gets back to you quickly and makes the process easy for those of us new to the system.
Diane was so GREAT. Would most definitely use her again. She makes sure the pets are well taken care of while in her watch. Photos were awesome. She was dependable & as a result the stress of leaving my fur babies was diminished.

***PLEASE NOTE*** WE DO NOT BOARD CATS, BUT WILL DO DROP-INS FOR THEM! Your dog(s) must be friendly towards our dog. We also have 2 cats in the house. They could care less about dogs, but yours must not be aggressive towards them. If you aren't sure about that, then a meet and greet, prior to booking will be necessary. For stays in your home, my dog will come as well. ***For return or pick-up times later than 4pm, a Doggy Day Care Fee will apply for that day, and must ne booked separately***
A typical day
We have a huge front yard and back yard, with lots of room to walk, run, and romp, or just hang out. We also have a big front porch and back deck for hanging out as well. We will engage your pet with throwing/chasing balls and other toys if that's what he/she enjoys.
