Diane's Doggie Care and More

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Diane, and I have been caring for dogs, cats, fish and birds most of my life. I will care for your precious babies just like my own. They will receive professional care, love, attention and affection. This is my full time job, if you can call it that. It's a blessing. I have a nice yard and field for walks, and a large covered deck for outside play time in severe weather. I only take one family's pets at a time. So, your babies will get plenty of quality attention and companionship. My home is pet friendly and all safety precautions have been implemented. Your companions will be kept separate from my own for the safety of both parties. I am also comfortable and experienced taking care of special needs pets that might require medications to be administered or other accommodations. I now have a bedroom designated for cats. It has a king size bed and lots of windows for bird watching. I only book one family's cat or cats at a time. I have excellent reviews and references. Thank you for your consideration.

This was my dog’s first stay with Diane. She made him feel safe and comfortable, and spent extra time getting this finicky dog to eat his food.

Diane is the BEST! She loved on our fur babies in our home for a week while we were on our anniversary cruise. We had never been away on vacation together, so I was a,little nervous doing so. She stayed in our home, provided daily pup updates, lots of pictures, and eased this hooman mommas heart. She truly cares, loves and enjoys caring for your 4 legged fur kids. Hands down would highly recommend her for ALL your pet sitting needs. And my fur kids Zeus and Penelope loved her too! Which speaks volumes to me!

Diane is awesome! I have an English Golden Retriever who loves everyone and a Border Collie mix that is timid around people and doesn't like other dogs. Diane has a soft, caring voice. She's been gradually earning Penelopes trust coming weekly in order to prepare for a long vacation where she will be staying at our home. She loves on my fur kids, gives them treats, back scratches, goes outside with them. I feel very comfortable that she'll do a great job taking care of our 2 fur kids while we're on vacation. I highly recommend her for all your pets needs!
