Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced animal caregiver
I have always lived with and cared for cats and dogs my whole life, but I have also have several positions over the past 15 years caring for various other animals. My first professional animal caregiving experience was at Pioneer Park Nature Center in Lincoln, NE. There, I provided enrichment and care to a wild variety of animals, including owls, hawks, vultures, snakes, turtles, and salamanders. I have also lived on farms where I cared for dogs, rabbits, goats, sheep, ducks, and chickens. In California, I volunteered for 2 years at a wildlife hospital where I cared mainly for songbirds. There, I learned how to administer medication and provide foster care for baby squirrels and raccoons. The care of animals has always been central to my personal, professional, and even my academic life. I love all animals, but I am by far a cat person. I grew up with five cats and two dogs. Currently, I have a sweet old man cat named Little One.

I am a responsible, respectful adult who is happy to care for your pet at your home, as my living situation is not conducive to boarding animals.
Ratings and reviews
Diane was wonderful to my very needy cat while I was away. I returned to a happy and healthy kitty!
Our dogs appeared happy and well. House looked great. Diane was great with communication. Highly recommend!
Diane took great care of our dog over the holiday week! We really appreciated having here and knowing our girl was in good hands!
Dianne house sat for my energetic pitbull, who has some anxiety/prey drive/reactivity behavioral challenges. She took good care of her and let me know things were going well. Thanks Dianne!
Hello Fellow Roverenes! Good news is Diane is wonderful, now a great friend of Chidi and Ellie, and went above and beyond the call of duty when Chidi lacerated his left front ankle pad and needed stitches. Bandaged the leg, got Chidi and Ellie in the car, got them to the pet hospital and settled in, stayed with them to make sure everything was good until I arrived. Thank you Diane!
Great time had by all! Diane is easy going and gets along well with the puppies, Chidi and Ellie. Puppies enjoyed the day and were tuckered out, a good sign of getting lots of outdoor and walk time. On time, present, good communication & pics, able to handle a change in plans. All good! I would recommend Diane for dog care at your Home!

Schedule
I have a lot of availability because I work seasonal, conducting bird surveys for a non-profit in Idaho in the spring and summer. I am happy to do evening walks, overnights, holidays, and weekends.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsDiane can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know if your pet has special needs or behaviors requiring special attention. I am happy to assist in keeping routines. I am willing to work with animals with minor behavioral problems such as reactivity, anxiety, and fear, as I have some experience in that area. I also need to know of any medical issues or allergies your pet may have.
