Availability
I work full-time Monday through Friday, but pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. I’m available some evenings during the week and more flexibly on weekends. Whether it's stopping by for a walk, a drop-in visit, or weekend sitting, I’m always excited to spend time with animals and give them the love and attention they deserve.

About Dianne Z.

Safety, trust & environment
Creating a safe and comfortable environment is my top priority. In my home, pets have a cozy and secure space to relax, including a pet-safe pod for quiet time or rest—even though I don’t use a traditional crate. I also have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can enjoy fresh air and play safely under supervision. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them with the same love, respect, and attention I gave my own dogs for over 14 years. You can trust that your pet will be in caring and capable hands.
Home
Information Dianne Z. would like to know about your pet
I always want to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for, so it’s helpful to know a few things in advance—like their daily routine, favorite activities, any fears or anxieties, and how they do with other pets or new people. I’d also love to know about any medical needs, medications, or dietary restrictions, as well as how they do on walks or in new environments. The more I know, the better I can care for them like you would!
A typical day
Depending on their personality and energy level, that could mean neighborhood walks, backyard playtime, fetch, tug-of-war, or just lounging together and getting in plenty of snuggles. I’m also big on one-on-one attention, whether it’s belly rubs, brushing, or talking to them like they’re part of the conversation (because they are!). My goal is to make sure they feel loved, relaxed, and entertained while you’re away.

Pet care experience
While I don’t have formal training, I’ve been a proud dog mom for over 14 and 16 years. Both of my pups lived long, happy, and healthy lives, thanks to lots of love, consistent care, and really getting to know their individual needs. I truly adore animals—so much so that I find myself slowing down or stopping just to wave or talk to dogs I see out on walks in the neighborhood! Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just quiet companionship, I’m all about making pets feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away.
Reviews
Dianne was great at keeping in touch and sending pics and videos. I really appreciated her help with Blue
Dianne is amazing and just the best when it comes to help taking care of our Toy poodle! She is very attentive and cares for our dog just like it is hers. She makes sure to share daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave us a lot of comfort and confidence that our dog was in great hands. Thank you Dianne!
Dianne was very patient and kind with my little yorkie who had never been away from home ~ She provided a safe, calm space for him to adjust and communicated often to ease my mind.
Dianne was so caring to our Teddy.. She is a kind hearted human and she took such good care of Teddy. She genuinely care and you can feel it the moment you see her. Thank you so much Dianne!
