Safety, trust & environment

I also offer boarding in my upstairs apartment, which includes a cozy space and an open balcony where your dog can safely enjoy the fresh air and breeze. For the more adventurous pups, I offer overnight trips to open areas where dogs can safely run and explore (off-leash, where permitted). These night adventures are perfect for dogs who love nature and benefit from a change of scenery and extra exercise. When your dog joins me on a night trip, they’ll enjoy one of two safe, cozy sleeping options depending on the weather: A tent set up for a peaceful camping night My SUV, where I’ve converted the back seat into a comfortable sleeping space for our trips These outings are safe, supervised, and always centered around your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness.

Information Dianne P. would like to know about your pet

I like to know a few important things so I can make sure they feel comfortable and happy. It really helps to know their routine, energy level, and how they do around other dogs or new people. I also like to ask about any health issues, favorite toys or treats, and anything that might make them nervous. The more I know about their personality and needs, the better I can care for them like they’re my own

A typical day

I am all about matching the energy of your dog. Whether your pup loves to run, play, or just take it easy, I adjust our time together to fit their personality and needs. I love taking them on hikes, long walks, or relaxed strolls through the neighborhood. I also enjoy engaging dogs in fun enrichment activities like fetch, puzzle toys, and basic training games to keep their minds active. For more mellow dogs, I’m happy to spend quality time cuddling, brushing, or just keeping them company. My goal is to make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Dianne, and wherever I go, dogs come with me. I’ve been walking pups and taking them on adventures for years—and I absolutely love it! Whether it’s a peaceful walk around the block or a mini hike to get out some serious zoomies, I’m committed to giving your dog the kind of fun and exercise that leaves them happy, fulfilled, and ready to relax when they get home. For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I require a meet-and-greet before accepting any new dog bookings. This allows your pup to meet my furry baby and make sure everyone gets along well. To create a safe, happy environment for all the dogs! I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog with the same love and care I’d want for my own. Ask me about my **dog-friendly camping trips** and weekday adventures! If your pup loves exploring, I’d love to bring them along for a safe, exciting time in nature. Let’s give your dog the joy and freedom they deserve. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐶✨

Louise had a wonder day with Dianne and made fast friends with Dianne and her dog Jojo. Dianne is warm, kind, and caring. She kept us well informed of the plan for the day and sent lots of photographs. We will definitely use her services again in the future.
