Testimonials
Wonderful house sitter experience
I was so pleased to have Diana come to our home and look after our Swiss mountain dog Ellie. She was so professional, smart, resourceful and warm and friendly. Her communications were clear and it was easy to keep in touch. She took great care of the dog, and when we got home, the house was immaculate. I would love to have her back anytime she is able. And I’m also happy Diana enjoyed our beautiful Gabriola Island life.

Come back! Please!!!
Diana was the first pet sitter we had and she's amazing and wowed us! It's impossible to make an honest assessment about her... I could make an honest assessment only if I could give her the number of stars that exists in the entire universe! She came as a stranger and left as part of the family! She's always welcome back as long as she WANTS! No need for an invitation! Mi casa es tu casa.... and she knows the real meaning of this Spanish phrase!

A home and pet sitter you can trust
Diana house and kitty sat for me in March. She was communicative from the beginning, and throughout my time away. We overlapped at the start of her sit (just before I departed) and I could tell that she was going to be a good carer for my cats since she knew how to handle their initial ambivalence and curiosity. She carries herself with calmness and assuredness which is helpful when you're leaving your home and fur babies in someone else's hands. My home was spotless when I returned and I also found out Diana took care of some issues in my basement while I was gone without a fuss. I would certainly invite Diana back if she wanted to visit my part of the world again.

Conscientious and Caring
Diana looked after our home, large garden, our chickens and rather spoilt feline. We found her easy to communicate with, attentive to any details about how to manage things, calm and responsible. She kept in touch while we were away, and we returned to find our place clean and tidy and the critters well cared for. I enjoyed meeting Diana and found her thoughtful and positive. We will definitely keep in contact with her for future house-sits.

You would be LUCKY to have Diana housesit for you!
I can't recommend Diana highly enough. I left my place with her for two weeks while i travelled abroad. This was my first experience with MindMyHouse and Diana made me a "believer". She took care of my gardens, house, and managed the 2 Airbnb rooms in my home. Diana had no problem managing the household and did any trouble-shooting with ease. Not only was Diana a great housesitter, I enjoyed getting to know her and now count her as a friend. Overall, it was a terrific mutual experience and I would be grateful if Diana was available to housesit my place in the future!

Diana is a terrific responsible person!
I wrote Diana a testimonial some time ago, but just found a notification here that I need to write one. Good Idea! I have not asked for any, and now wish I had a few!! Diana is so bright and responsible, and nice to be around. I highly recommend her for your sit. She came to me after I had already chosen a sitter, and she decided to rent my attached apartment. she and the actual sitter ended up spending a lot of time together, and I got to know Diana as well. I would love to see her again, and she can come be my guest, or my sitter any time. I am Sharyn Bates, of San Miguel de Allende, and my phone is a US number: 505-480-2317
