Animals are a gift and deserve love

Pet care experience

I Have had animals since I was a child from 6 years old on. We started with dogs and cats and also chickens and rabbits however this doesn't apply, LOL! I've always been an animal advocate and have had them as my personal pets, (Dogs and cats), for the last 35 years of my life. I unfortunately recently lost my cat he was very sick at 23 years old and I had to put him down. Very very despairing. I swore at that time having to put my cat down my heart was so broken that I would never get another animal in my life at least permanently . However living in Arizona recently for 8 years I have been a big dog advocate and love the process of rescuing animals. I have a beautiful garden in my backyard and love taking care of the hummingbirds and spending time with Mother nature's gifts to us. I meet alot of dog people and their precious furry family members and have the pleasure of people in my community who have animals and keep plenty of treats in my cabinet for them and very much enjoy hanging out with me enjoy so much taking care of everybody else's animals this way I enjoy the company and I can love them and nurture them, by helping take care for them when their owners need to take a break or vacation. I currently now take care of my neighbors dog and cat when they go on vacation. I also take care of friends of mine that has three dogs I usually keep them with me take care of them for minimal 10 days Plus. I sometimes sneak over there and dog nap with their dogs because I'm so much in love with them, and that's a joke but I do borrow one every now and then. I was just getting ready to sign up for fostering and animal for them to be placed in homes. I am extremely excited to get involved with you and this opportunity to love and care for your pets. I enjoy taking them for walks and enjoy the company. I will treat your pets or should I say your family member as if they were mine.

Diane was amazing! She was very thorough and thoughtful and took amazing care of my dog Rory for a long weekend. She also was wonderful at keeping me updated every day and Rory was so tired from her multiple walks every day when I picked her up which was great. I can’t say how sweet and easy the whole process was and I can’t recommend her more.

Diane is the pet whisperer! She loved my cats Sugar and Monkey as if they were her own. I never worried on wondered about them the entire time they were in her care, because from the moment I met her, Diane put me at ease with her professional, caring attitude. She took copious notes when I explained their routine and feeding schedule. Both cats have separation anxiety and Diane invited them to sleep with her which was above and beyond. My boy Monkey has a big crush on her! She understands animals have unique personalities and didn't judge Sugar but loved her even though she can be aloof. Diane sent videos and pictures every day which was a very special treat for me! The cats came home in great health. Thank you, Diane! Before I plan my next trip, I will make sure she is available to board and love on the kitties again.

Your furry friend will be treated as if they were one of mine. If needed I would be able to crate a small dogs, I honestly prefer if they could just be comfortable in my home with more than enough room for them to feel welcome. I am reliable and have time to care for your pets with love and attention. I Have lots of doggy toys and treats if accepted by my clients.I would enjoy their company and believe they will have fun with me! I wake up early morning to walk the dogs first thing before eating schedule and then follow up with another walk. I will ask you many questions in regards to their routines, allergies, walking behaviors, etc. Just so I have all the important information that some times people overlook when they firstly meet. I've been taking care of Dogs and cats for many years, and learned that there aren't any dumb questions, especially when caring for your loved ones! I hope to be a part of your pets friends and family in the near future 🤗

Information Diane W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to be notified if your dog has issues around other animals such as taking walks and interference in case they are not comfortable with those dogs do they follow a special diet and importantly allergic to any foods brains products treats Etc. I make sure to ask about behaviors I should know about in other words if they are sensitive to certain body parts as in the ears, head, the belly any location that there was either previous injury or it's completely uncomfortable I do not want to make any puppy uncomfortable. Would also ask you any medications they might be on , your local veterinarian , and how their behavior is when taking a walk. Of course they're feeding times as well as the treats allowed to be given to them. I will only board and Daycare for One individuel client at a time and I'm willing to board up to 3 if they're part of the family. Sometimes I find it easy that way because they find it between the two or three of them would be more comfortable, and feel safer in a different environment and happier to stay together at my residence.

A typical day

I love to take walks around my residence and get to know the behavior of the dog, I really enjoy running with them, great for exercise, for both of us, playing ball or just walking, I also take walks at the dog park, However- it's all depends on permitted by the owner, and if they don't get along with other pets. Spending time with each of them and learning their behaviors is the first thing I like to do. The best part of me and you and connecting with the loved one, just to have that one Bond that's extremely important especially if it's your baby! My best overall hope is to gain the trust and have a great connection that will hopefully last for Lifetime!
