Pet care experience

Retired w/time & love to share

I have always had pets (always at least one dog, cats, horses, and farm animals). I am currently retired and petless but with lots of love to share. I have knowledge of dog and horse training and have a certificate of completion as an animal care assistant. I taken care of relatives and friends pets on several occasions. In the past I have also worked at Petland as an assistant manager, where I supervised the care and sales of puppies and accessories. Since my golden "Duke" passed at age 13, and we retired we have traveled a lot (with the cat "Tigger" who has now since passed as well) we have taken on the responsibility of another pet of our own, but we available and home a lot now and would love to give care and attention to someone else's pet (kind of like spoiling the grandchildren and then sending them home). LOL

Diane is the best. Oddie loved his stay with her. I loved the pictures I received each day and Diane and her husband were so attentive to Oddie and he was spoiled with attention and love. Definitely a great choice if you need a sitter for your pups. I could not have been more pleased.

Diane is the best fur baby caregiver! We went on my birthday trip and we didn't worry about our Sadie girl cause we knew she was in good hands! Diane loves our Sadie and Sadie loves her and her husband! I highly recommend Diane to take care of your fur babies! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Diane is the absolute best!! Our 3 pups had never stayed away from home before. From the first time they stayed with Diane, they were so comfortable and just felt right at home. She keeps us updated with pics and how they're doing while we're away. We never worry when they are with her. She and her husband, Bob, love our babies just like we do!

I always feel confident when I leave Yogi with Diane. She is very good with dogs. Her and her husband show love towards Yogi and he is happy with them.

Schedule

I am retired and currently do a lot of gardening and crafts. Pet care would definitely fit into my usual daily life We do travel from time to time but would block out those dates at that time.
