Experienced & Professional Pet Care
Pet care experience
I consider pets to be part of our family. Any dog/cat that stays with me will receive the same attention and care as my own fur babies. Your dog/cat will be temporarily adopted into our family, where they will receive lots of love, pets, belly rubs, toys, and playtime. I proivide stress-free care for your furry family member(s) so that you can enjoy your vacation or focus at work. I am happy to care for animals who have special needs having done so often during my tenure of caring for pets. For example, I have had a client with a diabetic dog who needed insulin shots; one of my cats has asthma causing me to become quite skilled at administering medicine to unimpressed cats. If your dog needs socialization or training, I can help with the basics. All training is based on positive reinforcement with treats and verbal cues. For an additional fee, I would be happy to work with your dog while they stay with me or when I walk/visit them if they need basic obedience training. For socialization, I have a 1-year-old dog who is overly friendly and would be happy to help your dog learn that other dogs can be friends.
Reviews
Diane is great! Communicates well and is timely! I will use her again!
Diane was kind and flexible to work with! She took great care of our three pups and they enjoyed their time with her. She communicated with us daily and sent pictures. We will definitely work with Diane in the future.
So excited to have found Diane! She was great with our new puppy. She arrived a few minutes early and our puppy instantly liked her. She snuggled with him and played with him outside. He had such a good time. So happy she was able to watch him and will be using her again!
Diane was very good with our two dogs, one who is diabetic and requires a shit twice a day. She did a great job communicating with us and keeping us up to date on they were doing with pictures and messages. We would definitely have Diane stay again.

Safety, trust & environment
For boarding or day sitting, dogs will be walked 1-2 times daily and offered an array of toys and chews for their entertainment. Dogs that love to play fetch will have the opportunity for "playtime," where they can chase a ball outside in a fenced-in yard. I use a long leash for places without a fence that gives the dog a leash-free experience. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on my or my husband's lap for extra snuggles. If I need to leave my home and your dog is there, I prefer to crate your dog to ensure their safety and the safety of the other animals in the home. I provide ample blankets and beds to keep your dog warm and comfy. I ensure adult dogs are not crated for more than 6 hours, and puppies are not crated for more than 2 hours (unless they are very young and need constant supervision).
Home
Information Diane P. would like to know about your pet
I do not have breed restrictions. I would like to know if the dog has any house-breaking troubles, aggressive behavior, or anxiety issues. I will also need to know if the dog does well with other animals, particularly cats.
A typical day
On a typical day, I like to ensure the pets have an early breakfast and then some sort of interaction and stimulation such as dog puzzles, a walk, or playtime. This helps satisfy the dogs' needs so that they are more likely to be relaxed and content. The afternoon is usually a quieter/nap time, with whatever potty breaks are necessary Late afternoon/evening includes another interactive stimulation session of obedience, going to a park, a walk, or more playtime. I feed dinner in the evening and offer a last potty break before bed at 9pm.

I recently graduated with my Ph.D. and am searching for a career. In the meantime, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pet.
