I'm calm, very patient and caring

Pet care experience

I have been a dog owner for most of the past 40 years. I am an animal welfare activist. I lobbied at the capitol and spoke personally to my representative regarding a bill to better regulate puppy mills. I have one dog of my own, a 12 year old female Miniature Schnauzer that I recently adopted from National Mill Dog Rescue. She is shy and friendly with other dogs. I would love to pamper your fur baby with snuggles on the sofa walks in my quiet neighborhood, lots of play time and treats (if permitted). I work only three evenings a week and on those evenings, my fiancé is home as he works days. He's a very kind person and is very helpful to give care when I am not home. I love dogs, always have. I strive to make the world a more humane place for all animals.

Dianne is a lovely lady, I highly recommend her and would definitely utilize her services again! My Yorkie, Cash, seemed relaxed & happy when I returned after a 5-day trip. Dianne’s dog, Coco, is really sweet, they had fun playing together. I felt comfortable and relaxed leaving my dog with her & she sent me a pic with text update daily.

Dianne is such a wonderful dog sitter. She took such good care of my old little chihuahua. He loves to be around her dog Coca as well. We have used her before and will be booking again. Thanks for all the love you give Handsome!

I am happy I found Dianne on the rover app. I was initially nervous about using rover, but after meeting her and her sweet pup Coco I felt at ease. She was very responsive and sent me photos while I was away for 4 days. She was also very patient with my elderly dog, who can be very grumpy at times. I will definitely ask Dianne to watch my pup again next time I’m away!

This was Ollie's first stay with Dianne. He was happy when I left and happy when I picked him up. Her dog Coco was patient with Ollie who is still young with an abundance of play energy. We have a longer stay coming up and I'm certain it will be great and he'll relax a bit and not tire out Coco too much. He slept for hours that evening after coming home and more than usual the next day too.

I have a fenced backyard that is very secure even for small dogs. I have a doggy door that the dogs may use anytime while I'm home during the day. At night, I will go outside with them and keep an eye on them. It is a very safe and quiet neighborhood.

Information Dianne L. would like to know about your pet

I live in on a quiet (dead end) street and have a nice, fenced back yard. Our home is comfortable. I have had many of my clients say that their dogs get excited and wag tails when they turn up our street and they know they're coming to Dianne's house. I always prefer to have a meet and greet first before the reservation. It's good for everyone to determine if it will be a good fit including the guest dogs. They can get acquainted with me and my home and all the "interesting smells". Then, when they return for their stay with me .... they are comfortable in familiar surroundings.

A typical day

Love dogs and enjoy snuggling on the couch and giving belly rubs. I always care for guest dogs like my own with regular feeding times, plenty of fresh water at all times, lots of opportunity to go outside from early morning to late at night. After dark, I go outside with them so they are not alone in the yard. I especially am careful with the tiny dogs. I limit the dog size to just 15 pounds so the tiny ones are comfortable and usually sit for maximum of 2 dogs at any one time.
