Pet care experience

I would love to care for your pets!

Hello! My name is Diane Kelly and I would love to care for your pet. I live in Palmetto, Fl. I would welcome traveling to your home to walk your dog, feed them, give medications if necessary and dog or cat sit overnight. I also would love to care for your cat or cats! I am very active and enjoy walking. Currently, I have a very flexible schedule. For walks, I prefer not to drive more than 20-25 minutes. For overnight sitting, I will drive further. If you are looking for a responsible caregiver for your animal, I would love to help. About this sitter: I would love to help you take care of your pets! I have had a great deal of experience caring for pets. I have volunteered at shelters; have walked, boarded and cared for dogs for many years; founded New England's first Cat Cafe; have veterinarian ultrasound scanning experience and expertise; and have worked on a very large, private animal rescue. I am a very active lady who loves to walk and will provide your dog with plenty of exercise if you like. I would be happy to meet with you and your dog, or cat before you hire me to give you assurance that your special friends will be loved and pampered. I provide daily photos of any pets I housesit, or for any new clients to assure you that your pet is being properly cared for. I have been an animal lover all of my life. But, I have cared for many cats, dogs, horses, bunnies, chickens and roosters, and even a pig called Bulldozer. I have experience with administering medications, orally and subcutaneously.

Daine is an amazing sitter. She handled and cared for my pets with love. The dogs love her like she has been a part of the family for a long time. She kept us updated at all times. She is flexible and can adapt quickly. Thanks Daine for taking care of my 12 paws 🐾🐾🐾

I'm just going to start off by saying that I'm pretty weird when it comes to my pet Blade. I think I like him more than I like most humans, so I obviously expect the best care for him. I was nervous about leaving him with someone I didn't know when we went overseas. He's a 80 lb German Shepherd so most people are intimidated by him. I was so happy I stumbled upon Rover.com and Diane Kelly. I spoke with her on the phone and she came over to meet us the next day. She was fantastic with Blade. I felt very comfortable with her also. You can't go wrong with Diane. Excellent all the way!! We've been so pleased with how she has treated our fur-child. Prompt, courteous, professional, flexible - all the things you'd hope for and expect - but she also took the time to go above and beyond. From texting us or sending the occasional picture of Blade, it's these special touches that put her at the top. She is always so thoughtful and caring. I have to say she was awesome!!!! We will use her every time we go on vacation. Highly recommend. I would give her 10 stars + if I could!!!! Diane - GREAT job and thank you!

Diane is a very responsible person. She loves animals, especially dogs and cats. She would make a fabulous dog walker. I can't say enough good things about her.

I would like to know as much as possible about any dog or cat that I care for to be certain I can provide the best care possible. For example, I would like to know the following: their medical history; if they have any medical needs; who is their vet in the event I needed to bring them to the vet; can I walk them and for how long (I am an avid walker); their diet; any special needs they may have; if they get along well with children and other animals.
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.
