Dianne

Hi pet owners - My name is Dianne, I moved to Caloundra from Cairns in 2016 and brought my experience as a volunteer dog walker with the Young Animal Protection Society (YAPS) and my reliable and sensitive nature as a pet sitter. I now can also share I've been an active pet sitter & dog walker in Caloundra since 2017.

I have always had animals in my life from small exotics to cats and dogs but due to my career requiring frequent travel I have been unable to devout myself fulltime to pet ownership or to an extensive pet sitting client base.

I am currently working day shift hours (M-F) on the Sunny Coast and would love the pleasure of walking your beloved pooch; - any size/breed/any distance & intensity and/or smothering them with as much love and affection as they desire as your pet sitter in their own surroundings! To better understand their needs and read their body language better, I undertook a certificated course in Dog Emotion & Cognition in 2018 which has also provided me with some basic training tools. I will always be happy to continue your current training with them or introduce some basic training under your guidelines.

More about my services:

A complimentary meet & greet before any confirmed booking is always preferred. This way, both owners & myself can assess my suitability to care & provide for your fur babies. This also provides a great opportunity to see where everything is kept, where they eat & sleep and discuss further details.

Housesitting - Typically, I arrive late afternoon ~4pm and leave early morning (later on weekends lol!) I understand both dogs & their owners all have different needs so of course we can further discuss arrival & departure times. I enjoy taking them for walks and happy to take them out morning & late afternoon under your guidance for duration and distance. Also, to give them a brush if a brush/glove can be provided. I will always do my best to leave your home in the same way I found it and include frequent photo updates of your fur babies, garden watering, putting out bins & collecting mail.

House Visits - Preferably within Caloundra & it’s suburbs only.

Anywhere up to an hour to provide feeding, playing/short walk & cleaning litter trays/picking up poop! Longer daily visits can always be discussed.

Doggie walks - Up to 45 mins depending on needs & on leash only.

Please feel free to contact me anytime as I am already looking forward to meeting you!
