Hi, I’m Diana — the founder of Diana’s Paws.
My love for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. I was the little girl who wanted to rescue every stray, the one who felt more comfortable with animals than with most people, and who believed with all her heart that pets weren’t “just animals” — they were family.
In 2018, what started as a simple side gig walking dogs, pet sitting, and helping friends with training slowly grew into something much more meaningful. I never imagined at the time that those early nights and weekends spent caring for animals would evolve into a full-time business built entirely from pure passion and heart.
Diana’s Paws was born from a desire to create real, lasting connections not just with animals, but with the people who love them. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of building a trusted team of fellow animal lovers who share that same mission. We’ve created more than a service — we’ve built a trusted experience that’s reliable, deeply personal, and rooted in passion, all with a clear commitment to delivering real value to the families and pets we’re proud to serve.
Training is at the core of what I do. I work directly with dogs and their owners to build structure and leadership, develop routines, and strengthen communication all while helping both the dog and owner build lasting confidence. Whether it’s supporting a new puppy, guiding a reactive dog, or simply helping families feel more in sync with their pets, the goal is to bring out the best in each relationship through consistency and leadership.
In every service we offer, we take a whole-dog approach — recognizing that true well-being comes from more than just physical exercise or obedience cues. It’s about structure, enrichment, rest, nutrition, and creating a daily life that supports both physical and emotional health. We stay committed to evolving, learning, and always doing what’s best for each individual animal.
At Diana’s Paws, everything we do is about helping pets and their people live more connected, confident, and optimal lives — through care, structure, and support.
