Hi, I’m Dianne! I’ve been fostering dogs since 2017 with Fetch WI Rescue and Lucky Dog Animal Rescue (DC). My husband, Jake, and I work from home alongside our resident "foster fail," Kona. Because I work from home, I have a ton of flexibility to step away from my computer as needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a mellow 5 year old resident dog who loves to play if your pup is interested. Otherwise she pretty much minds her own business. She is a St. Bernard and Blackmouth cur mix who is very gentle and has had a lot of exposure to dogs of varying temperaments through fostering. She can’t wait to meet you pup! We also allow dogs to have free roam of our home and will sleep in our bedroom at night.

Pet care experience

🐕 Individualized Dog Boarding & Care 🐕 Worried about your dog getting lost in the crowd at a sitter's house packed with too many pets? I get it. As a dog mom myself, I believe home stays should mean true one-on-one attention and family-style care, not a mini kennel. _______________________________________ ~~ WHY BOARD/STAY WITH US?~~ + Small Groups, Big Attention: We host a maximum of 2 guest dogs at a time. Your pup gets genuine focus, love, and room to relax without the stress of a crowded home. + Safety First: We always require a pre-booking Meet & Greet. On arrival day, we use a gradual, multi-step introduction process outside and inside the home to make sure every dog feels safe. + Frequent Updates: You’ll get an update right after drop-off so you know your pup is settling in, followed by reliable daily updates and photos & videos. No waiting around or worrying! + Tailored Activity & Enrichment: Since we work from home, we provide frequent neighborhood walks, dedicated indoor playtime, and long-lead outdoor play sessions in our grassy area. Whether your dog needs high energy output or loves to snooze, we adapt to their rhythm. _______________________________________ Leaving your baby behind is tough. Our goal is to give you total peace of mind while treating your dog like a member of our own family. We’d love to meet your pup!

Dianne was great to work with - super responsive, flexible and provided regular updates with photos and videos. Mango seemed like she had a blast and I am so grateful for the care Dianne provided for her! Thanks so much again!

Dianne was amazing - transparent and thoughtful and really great at making sure Jasper was having fun. Jasper loved hanging out with Kona and Dianne was so good about introducing Jasper to other dogs and managing dog interactions in an informed and professional manner. Truly happy and recommend highly!

Dianne and Jake were awesome! Sometimes our pup can get a little anxious while we're away, but they made her feel right at home. The updates and photos they provided us also put us at ease while we were away. We would definitely recommend them for your next Rover!

There are dog lovers, there are puppy lovers, and then there is Dianne. Dianne treats every canine as if they were her own. Firsthand, I have witnessed Dianne care for, train, and mentor numerous dogs through her partnership with Fetch Rescue. Dianne exhibits patience, empathy, and understanding for all dogs and understands that each interaction is an opportunity for training and positive reinforcement. If you are looking for a responsible, caring sitter who will give your canine companion a safe place to stay and provide unconditional love, Dianne is your best bet!
