I have had pets all my life . We do not have a fenced lawn so dogs will be leashed while outside . We live in a neighborhood with not a lot of car traffic . Cats , will live sitting in the big front window or in the sunroom with lots of windows . Plenty soft spots for the fur babies to take a nap .

Loved having Diane as a sitter. Sophie loved her and so did we. She’s high energy and Duane saw she had lots of walks and activity. You’d never be disappointed with Diane. Thanks so much for loving on our girl for the day. Thx for the umbrella too♥️

Diane was great. I could tell that the pups were very relaxed when we got home. Our house was in perfect condition. I definitely would recommend her to anyone.

Diane loves animals. Even animals which are not ours will come to her first. Our grown children have pets. They all run to “grandma” when they see her coming. She plays with them and talks to them. We have babysat cats and dogs of nieces, nephews, and other family members. Prior to our marriage, Diane had a cat and a dog. The dog had passed away prior to our marriage. She treated both pets as family members. You could see the love she had for Snuggles (the cat). The name fit the relationship. We went to the Humane League and adopted a dog named Tasha. Tasha fit right in with our family. Tasha was a sick dog when we adopted her. The vet said do not get too attached because she isn’t going to make it. Well, Diane nursed her 24 hours a day and gave the medicine the vet provided. We took her back to the vet and he could not believe how healthy Tasha was. He said it was a miracle. After both pets passed, we received a phone call from our daughter. At her work the found two young kittens in a dumpster. She knew who to call. Diane took them in and made them part of our family. Iddy and Buddy provided us a lot of love. When moved to Hawaii they went with us. They loved the eight years in Hawaii as much as we did. We came back to Pennsylvania 6 years ago. Unfortunately Iddy passed 2 years ago and Buddy passed last year. She cared for them until it was time to let them pass. Diane had one lady who would hire Diane to take care of her 2 dogs and an outside cat who lived in a barn. She had to put out food for the barn cat and make sure it was back in the barn at night. The dogs were outside on a leash for part of the day. She fed them twice a day inside and had to give the one dog medicine in the morning. As you have read, Diane is an animal lover. She should have been a veterinarian. We have been without a pet. Now that we have the time to travel, since we retired, she would like to provide her love to other family’s pets. Diane is the perfect person for a family looking to take care of their pet(s). They will not find a better person to love or care for their pet(s).
