Hii fur babies and parents 🥰
Pet care experience
Ive taken care of my family’s pets since (what feels like) the day I could walk, from ferrets to hermit crabs, and everything in-between. My overall vibe is super calming/chill/laidback and humorous! I enjoy being super animated and goofy with pets, and a couch potato pro with endless cuddles or rubs when they need extra love and reassurance :D I am the best for your shy, anxious or vocal dogs/cats because I am hyper aware of my surroundings, and my dog, Penny, has social anxiety and generalized fear! Athletic, and long distance walker and cyclist, so please trust that I can properly handle larger active breeds, including the squirrel chasers too!! Other than that, I just love being in the presence of all pets and helping out wherever I am needed :D I have experience with pups, young as 2 months to seniors up to 16yo! Experienced raising a litter of kittens to assisting shelters with adoptions and cat care. I achieved Pet Expert Certification from University of California -Davis Extension School, 2017, learning extensive animal care, safety, nutrition, etc. I earned a Career and Technical Education in Animal Science, 2017, where I practiced grooming and more. I will be more than happy to extend grooming needs, just let me know! 🥰 Parent to 3yo Shichon babygirl 🥰
Reviews
Dionne did an amazing job with my two difficult senior dogs. One has a nervous personality and the other has incontinence issues and needs medication. She spent the week with them during the rain and kept them safe and calm. The house was kept clean and net, and I can’t thank her enough for her help while we were away!
Dionne was very responsive and took great care of my apartment and cat when she helped me with a couple of drop-in visits! Would book her again!
Dionne was great! Very communicative and sent plenty of photos. We’ll definitely book with her again!
Dionne did a great job taking care of my cat. She was able to step in last minute when my other pet sitter fell through. My cat is a senior cat and not always the most social but she took the time to sit with her. I highly recommend.

I can do a meet and greet beforehand. I will confirm this information about your dog/cat: - temperament levels with people or other animals - activity level - dietary restrictions or any recent change in diet/food - medical issues (location and phone number of their vet in case of emergencies) - Walk and feed schedule (preferred walk or park areas)
A typical day
I love to go on long walks, its great exercise for the mind and body, so I will go the extra mile for my super active/ big breeds!! I enjoy going to the dog park and playing fetch with the dogs and the Chuck It ball (which they love). I treat dogs to new treats and toys, if approved by owner.
