Trust, Experience and TLC

Pet care experience

It can be stressful finding loving, experienced quality pet care when you have to leave your pets, for work, a day, a week, or longer. I offer you and your beloved fur family the experience, maturity, good judgment and loving care to ensure their needs are met while you are away from them. As a lifelong pet owner/ animal rescue volunteer I offer a lot of experience with animals of all ages. I know the value of having your beloved animals cared for in a loving, warm environment with appropriate care and attention. I was never comfortable boarding my own pets, and I have had the benefit of in-home care and know how much happier my pets were for it when I traveled. I offer TLC , attention and supervision for your pet to feel secure, loved, played with , exercised and well cared for while you are away. I am happy to keep to the general schedule you have set for your pet, and playtime and TLC are the standard. I have experience with medications, elderly and special needs pets. Having someone with good judgment and experience can make all the difference in the care your pet receives. I establish a quick rapport with most all animals and I also have the patience to let a more shy animal trust me at their own pace. I am active with dog walks and find that the mental and physical benefit of a regular walk is invaluable to your dog's overall well being and happiness if it's appropriate for their specific needs. I care for all animals with the love and attention I care for my own, and my happy clients all agree. I currently board up to 3 dogs and have a 30 lbs and under weight limit. If you need your dog to be the sole dog in my care I can usually provide that with a surcharge. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and they have free run of the home. They will sleep in beds in the bedroom, as well. Crate trained preferred, or they should be comfortable in an x-pen style containment for any short periods where I will need to step out. There is a 2 night minimum stay for 3 day holiday weekend boarding, and 6 night minimum for major holiday boarding and school vacation weeks. Please Note- the Rover app will overcalculate the rate at times if you have multiple pets. Please feel free to reach out to me so I can make sure the rates are correct, especially if you have dogs and cats.

Dyane was amazing and we will use her again in the future! She took the best care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. 5/5 stars and will recommend to friends. She is very professional and takes her job of caring for your pets very seriously.

Dyane is awesome! She is punctual and thorough, and is gentle and kind with my dog. She loves on him like I do! Dyane is a great communicator and provides nice updates. I don’t have to worry about my dog when Dyane is watching him. She was also flexible and able to accommodate my changing schedule. I will absolutely book with her again!

Dyane was really patient with my pups on her first visit with them. They took awhile to get used to a stranger in the house and we appreciate her being thoughtful of their nervousness until they were comfortable.

Information Dyane S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know your dogs general schedule and any walking habits they may have, dietary needs or restrictions and their temperament toward other animals they may see when on walks.

A typical day

Depending on your dog, I love to hike or take local walks in your neighborhood- a well exercised pet is a happy pet. In the summer I do take care to not over expose dogs to heat and humidity, and will utilize indoor exercise or yard exercise as needed. Same with cold weather extremes.
