She was incredibly kind, super informative, and kept us in the loop every day about our boy. We trust her completely with our pup and will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone we know.”
“Thank you thank you thank you… it’s so relaxing to know that in my absence my fur babies are being loved and well cared for while we travel. Nothing better than our pets getting to stay in their home and the Alyssa doing exactly what she was asked to care for them.,, from their daily walks to giving medicine to giving treats to showing them love.”

“There aren't enough words to express how AMAZING Dianne is, both as a cat-sitter and as a person. Not only did she send me daily updates on my Chunky boy, but she clearly bonded with him instantly and they became good friends. He let her scratch her in ways nobody but me can! Besides how she adored my kitty cat, she took care of the essentials as well (food, water, litter) and went above and beyond to push my trash out and bring packages inside. I will definitely be using Dianne for all future pet-sitting needs and have already confirmed her for a week in November. THANK YOU, DIANNE! Your care for Chunky let me enjoy my vacation and I truly appreciate that.”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels—including senior pups—I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with administering medications, accommodating special routines, and offering the extra patience and gentleness that older dogs often need. Whether it’s slow strolls, cozy cuddles, or keeping up with daily care, I treat every dog like family. My goal is to give you peace of mind while keeping your pet happy, safe, and comfortable in a calm, familiar environment. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day—whether it’s regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just companionship. Your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I’m able to accommodate feeding times, medications, and any special care needs with ease. Because I plan my day around the pets I care for, you can trust they’ll get the time, love, and attention they deserve. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment where they can relax and feel secure. We have a fully fenced yard for plenty of outdoor play and potty breaks, and pets are always supervised. Our home is kid-friendly, calm, and welcoming—perfect for dogs who enjoy gentle companionship. I have one sweet, well-behaved female beagle who gets along great with other dogs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and walking needs. Whether your pup loves playtime or prefers quiet cuddles, I ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life and if I thought I could be a vet I would, but sadly I have always cried at the “in the arms of an angel” commercials. Luckily, I have a very flexible schedule with my job and can take care of your animal whenever your schedule permits! I wake up early so morning walks/feedings are no issue and generally have free afternoons to tend to your animals needs. I have a fenced in large backyard and one fur baby who loves other dogs and to play but also understands not all animals feel this way. As someone being trusted with your animal, I do believe it is very important to understand the temperament of each fur baby as well as access their body language. I never want your animal to be uncomfortable just as much as I never want to be uncomfortable!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years now, just for fun. I love animals of all kinds, but I resonate with dogs more. Your fur baby will be taken care of in the best way ever. I love to train and teach them. I work part time, so I’ll have plenty of time for your fur babies! My schedule is pretty flexible and can be scheduled around your pets needs. I do have a fenced in yard, and one other dog in the house. My main focus will be your dog, I can crate my dog if need be, but I will never let anything happen to your dog or mine. They will be treated like royalty.
