Life long animal lover
Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Diane! I am a pet lover of all creatures. I am very familiar with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes and would love to watch your pet. I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life and now I have 3 cats, a black cat named Salem, a tuxedo named Oreo, and a tabby named Bub. I have been pet-sitting for several years, watching pets for short weekends or even over a month while their owners were away. I have done a wonderful job with all the pets I have watched. I will treat your pet with respect and love and make sure that your pet has a wonderful experience in my care. I am a responsible professional who will make sure your pet receives the love and care it deserves while you are away. I will make sure that any specific needs or activities that your pet requires will get taken care of. I am comfortable with elderly pets and administrating medication. This is something I have done for clients and my own pets. I will follow any instructions you leave for your pets while you are away. I am also more than happy to provide text updates and pictures of your pets. I understand how important it is to have peace of mind while you are gone. Send me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible to set up a time to meet and see if I am a great fit for you and your pet!
Reviews
We could not be happier with the care that Diane provided our dog. This was our first time having someone come stay with our dog and Diane made it such a great experience for us. We are definitely booking her the next time we need a dog sitter.
Diane was an amazing cat sitter for us! She was easy to work with and we came home to a very happy cat. She sent lots of texts and updates about the stay, and I appreciate all her care. I would definitely book her again, and feel at ease knowing she will watch our cat Sammie. Thank you Diane for all your help!
Had dinner plans and needed someone to watch out two pup for a few hours. Diane was excellent. She was prompt, courteous, and the dogs loved her. Both were very relaxed and happy when we came home. This is saying a lot considering one is a puppy and the other suffers from major separation anxiety. Will definitely use again in the future.
Diane dogsat my three beloved standard poodles for two nights ;she came to my hotel room to care for them so I could attend two different family functions. They quickly responded to her calmness as did I. Thank you Diane , you are the best!

I usually try to spend as much time as possible with the pet and have a meet and greet beforehand. I also send text updates with pictures if the owner would like.
Information Diane S. would like to know about your pet
The more I can know about the pet the better. I like to understand what a pet needs for the best experience in my care. Some things I like knowing ahead of time: -Do they have a regular feeding & bathroom schedule? -What is their usual routine during the day? -Are there certain Dog parks or walks the enjoy the most? -Are they good about being off leash -Do they have a favorite toy? -Are they allowed on the furniture? -Do they use a crate? -Are there specific things that can trigger anxiety or accidents? -Do they bark at noises/strangers? -How are they with new people or children?
A typical day
For dogs, I love to take for walks or to locate dog parks. Cats I love to play with their toys, especially with lasers. But really depends on the pet and their needs. I also understand most pets just need someone to spend time with them while their owner is gone, and I am more than happy to spend lots of time with your pet!

Availability
I am a hybrid worker, so most days I work from home. So it's easy for me to stop by and check on your pet or spend the night. My work schedule is very flexible. Just let me know what works best for the pet's schedule and I am happy to accommodate.
