Safety, trust & environment

Safety is extremely important to me when I am caring for your pets. I always take my time to carefully ensure all of your instructions are followed. At all times when outside your dog will remain on a leash. Additionally, I do not take dogs to any dog parks to ensure their safety from unfamiliar dogs.

Information Diane R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet is currently on any medication or has any special care instructions that I should know about so that I can best accommodate them. I am comfortable giving cats & dogs liquid oral meds, pills, ear drops, eye drops. I do not administer any injectable medications.

A typical day

My goal is to always make sure your pet has a good time and is safe. A typical day involves setting out your pets meal & making sure they have clean water available. If they are allowed treats, I may set out a treat puzzle or snuffle mat for them. After they’ve eaten we can head out for a walk where they will be able to explore and get some fresh air. There's always time for playtime & to toss a ball or toy around too! For the cats I’ll set out their meal & I maintain cleaning their litter box daily. They get indoor playtime with a feather wand or toy. And of course, lots of pets & cuddles!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Diane, and I’ve been living in Brooklyn for the last 17 years. I am an avid animal lover, and will always treat your furry friend with kindness, patience and respect - and of course plenty of love! I've had pets of all kinds my whole life; cats, dogs, turtles, lizards, bunnies, birds and more. I have experience with puppy age to senior dogs, pets that need medication & those recovering from surgery and even blind & deaf pets. You can trust that your pet will be in good hands, I’m responsible and will always keep you updated while your pet is in my care. I strive to do my best to go above and beyond, by maintaining communication and ensuring that you and your furry friend feel comfortable, safe and happy!

As always, Diane is reliable, communicative, and so kind with our shy cat. She is our go-to when we travel!
