Diane’s Paw Palace
Dog lover! They are my babies! Your pooches will be pampered here! I have been around dogs all my life, growing up with a dog, and having my own. I have 2 small dogs they get me out for a nice walk. I have previously fostered dogs and now have my own 2 dogs. I’m retired so home to pamper my poochies. My dogs are good with other dogs, I do have a crate but do not currently crate my dogs, I use baby gates to set boundaries when needed. I will care for your dog as my own! I can comfort anxious dogs and/ or exercise high energy dogs. I also have a pet stroller for those long walks your dog might get tired but enjoy the outdoors.please let me know if you have any questions. With your permission, I can provide dog treats. It is best for your fur baby’s digestive system if you provide their food. However, I mix the dry dog food with a little homemade chicken broth which they absolutely love! I am near Midway airport very convenient if you are traveling to/from midway (less than 5 minutes), also about 25 minutes from O’Hare airport. I also have a few daycare clients who your pup will enjoy playtime with.

Ratings and reviews
I was very pleased with meeting Diane prior to booking her. I knew she loved dogs by the way she and her two dogs interacted with each other. My dogs immediately were comfortable as well when we all met for the first time. I would definitely book Diane in the future. Thank you Diane for taking care of my fur babies!!
Diane is very professional and experienced. We received the most wonderful pictures and information throughout our pupper’s stay.
First time using rover.com. was very happy that my girls were well taken care of. Diane always kept me updated and sent pictures. She's super friendly and obviously a great person who loves animals. Will use her again.
Diane is awesome, she took care of little Remy while I was out of town. She texted me daily with updates and helped Remy feel more comfortable to come out and play and mingle with the other dogs. As this is Remy first time away not with family, I could tell he didn’t even want to come home when I picked him up lol. I’d Highly recommend Diane
I am so happy I contacted Diane. She is my (and my dog's) new favorite dog watcher. She is caring and thoughtful and I plan on using her often. Hopefully she doesn't get booked up as her love for dogs is obvious!
This was our first time utilizing a dog sitter for Miss Bella so of course we were nervous since Bella is spoiled but also doesn’t have much interaction with people outside of her regular circle of family members. Diane was patient, understanding, empathetic but most importantly- caring. We scheduled a meet and great prior to booking so that we can make sure that not only Bella was comfortable but also Diane’s furry sons- Cosco and Charlie. She provided daily updates and photos which gave us comfort knowing that she was in good hands. Bella is also a picky eater, so Diane knew what to feed her to make sure that she didn’t skip any meals. When we picked up Bella after a six day vacation, she did not appear nervous like she did on day one. I believe that Diane made her feel as she was a member of her family so much that when we brought her home, it took her a couple of hours to reacclimate herself. We have already discussed reaching out to Diane for our next vacation. I recommend Diane if you’re considering utilizing a dog sitter in the future.

Schedule
I am retired, currently working from home as a consultant. My schedule is flexible so I have time to pamper your dogs. They get a treat every time they go outside to do their business! Dogs love treats!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard so your pooch can run and play outside weather permitting. I also love to go for walks and my dogs love it!
Pets
A typical day
I like to go for walks, cuddle with them and playtime with them too. When weather doesn’t permit being outdoors I have a large finished basement where we go have a disco party! The dogs love it!
