Safety, trust & environment

I would only allow cats into my communal garden once the owner had been to view them to see if they are happy to let their cat roam. I would suggest taking them out on a harness to lay their scent and become familiar with where the entrance is into my flat. In an owner’s home I would only allow a cat out if I’m asked to do so unless there’s a cat flap in use.

Information Diane K. would like to know about your pet

I’d need to know about allergies, all illness history, when meds should be administered, if they are recovering from surgery including length and frequency of exercise they should be having.

A typical day

I would ask the owner during our meet and greet what the dog likes and dislikes. I would play hide and seek with their favourite treats. There are a number of parks close to where I live ensuring plenty of exercise.

Cat care experience

**It is a legal requirement for a cat aged up to 20 weeks to be microchipped** Hi! I’m Diane and I’m a barrister’s clerk when I’m not fussing kitties and being ignored and judged by them. I had a beautiful Tortie for 19.5 years and she was an amazing little spirit cat. She had some medical issues which needed me to administer tabs and enemas/micralax. She was on a prescription diet so I understand the importance of sticking to this for your fur babies. I live in Beckenham and since Buddy went over the rainbow bridge I’m looking into fostering until I’m ready to commit to another furry face in my home.

Diane is a lovely cat sitter who goes above & beyond. She was very understanding when we weren’t quite sure if holiday plans could change owing to extenuating circumstances. She also sent great updates of our cat and we could tell all was done with care. Thank you!

This was the second time that Diane has looked after our two kittens and we have already booked her for our next trip. Communication both before and during our trip has been excellent both times, she is very reliable and the cats love her!

Diane was as brilliant as always. Can’t thank her enough for the really clear and regular updates on our boy. He (who is nervous around people) really likes Diane and enjoys her company, which is really comforting to see when we are away. Thank you Diane again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
