Safety, trust & environment

Safety is extremely important to me when I am caring for your pets. I always take my time to carefully ensure all of your instructions are followed. At all times when outside your dog will remain on a leash. Additionally, I do not take dogs to any dog parks to ensure their safety from unfamiliar dogs.

Information Diane R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet is currently on any medication or has any special care instructions that I should know about so that I can best accommodate them. I am comfortable giving cats & dogs liquid oral meds, pills, ear drops, eye drops. I do not administer any injectable medications.

A typical day

My goal is to always make sure your pet has a good time and is safe. A typical day involves setting out your pets meal & making sure they have clean water available. If they are allowed treats, I may set out a treat puzzle or snuffle mat for them. After they’ve eaten we can head out for a walk where they will be able to explore and get some fresh air. There's always time for playtime & to toss a ball or toy around too! For the cats I’ll set out their meal & I maintain cleaning their litter box daily. They get indoor playtime with a feather wand or toy. And of course, lots of pets & cuddles!

Providing cuddles & care!

Cat care experience

I’ve had cats for most of my life and I currently have 3 cats, including a deaf cat. As a dedicated cat sitter, I offer an experience that goes beyond just feeding & playtime for your cats. I take the time to understand your cat's unique personality & preferences, to ensure they feel comfortable & loved while you are away. I’ll always treat your cats just as I would my own, with patience, respect & lots of love. I provide daily updates with lots of photos so you can still feel connected. My goal is to create a nurturing & fun environment where cats can thrive and feel safe. I will always follow your cat’s lead and respect their boundaries. I have experience caring for blind and deaf cats as well as cats with various disabilities and even tripod/amputee kitties. I am comfortable administrating medications such as pills, liquid oral meds, eye & ear drops, and cat inhalers. I do not administer injectable medications. I have experience with cats in the kitten stage all the way up to seniors.

Diane always does an excellent job with our cat Carl, and was even so nice as to bring in a package containing a family heirloom! 10/10 will book again. Thank you, Diane!!

Diane once again did a great job looking after Belly. She’s always communicative, responsible, and gives us peace of mind when we go away. Thanks Diane!
