I'm a Pet Professional!
Pet care experience
I LOVE dogs (cats too)! I've been around animals my whole life and have never been without a dog for very long. I currently have 2 dogs- Marco & Tata that I adopted as a bonded pair. I also have 2 cats named Tigger & Lilly who are the real bosses of the house. 😉 I have been a professional dog walker and pet sitter for 12 years. I'm trained in pet CPR and first aid. I've worked with dogs from puppyhood to old age and dogs of all sizes. I live in an area that is dog friendly and very walkable. There are lots of dog parks in my area as well. I live with my husband, and 3 kids- ages 13 months, 3.5 years old, and 8.5 years old. I'd love to care for you pet and have them be a part of my loving family. Your pet will be loved just as much as my own family.
Reviews
Diane was very welcoming to our dog and he had a great stay with her. She went out of her way to keep us updated and to let us know how he was doing.

Safety, trust & environment
When at my house, I have a large fenced in yard and the dogs are allowed to go outside as much as they would like to. I make sure to give the dogs a treat when they come back inside. Your dogs are loved as much as my own. When at your house, I do my best to keep the same routine as you do. I also make sure to leave your house the way I found it or better.
Home
Information Diane R. would like to know about your pet
I would like to meet you and your pet before walking or sitting to make sure we all get along. A scheduled meet and greet is no charge. If coming to my house, I ask that we meet at my house to make sure all the dogs get along. For walks, I'll come to your house so that I can learn where everything is that I'll need for walks.
A typical day
My whole neighborhood has sidewalks and a lovely park. I normally walk around my neighborhood. I could also take your dog to a number of different dog parks if they need extra exercise.

This is my job, which I love doing. I work my kid's schedule and housework around my walks and pet sits. My husband is also very helpful. I do bring the kids on walks when I need to. (My toddler walks and I carry the baby.)
