Westside Dog Nanny

Pet Services

I was born and raised on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York, attended Hunter College, CUNY, and graduated with a double major in Chemistry and Biology. I was awarded a National Institutes of Health Fellowship to pursue a Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the Center for Brain Research at the University of Rochester, New York.

After graduation, I came to Los Angeles for a summer vacation. I felt so comfortable here that I decided to make this my home.

Since I’ve always loved teaching, I began teaching high school math and science at The Buckley School in Sherman Oaks. High School kids are the best. I loved them; but I wanted a more challenging career.

Acquiring the prestigious CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER certification, CFP, I became a Financial Advisor and worked in Century City. Read more

    Diana looked after our two babies for a few days and I can definitely and highly recommend her boarding service! She has such caring and loving personality and very trustworthy. It was very easy contacting her and organising a consultation. Throughout the days we were away, Diana would send us a text or photo updates which really reassured us (since this was our first trip away without our babies), so we knew they were safe and having fun. Thank you again Diana!!

    Diana is fantastic! We have a french bulldog that we did not want to board or put in a facility with a ton of other dogs while we travel. Diana watches your pet with a limited number of additional pets and requires meeting them first. Our mind is at ease knowing our dog is in good hands and getting extra love and personal attention. It makes traveling much easier and she sends texts and pictures during your trip so you can see your happy pet! Highly recommend

    Diana is wonderful. Having the piece of mind when my wife and I are out of town that our little puppy Rocky was being taken care of was worth everything. We boarded Rocky with Diana for the very first time during Memorial Day weekend and couldn't be happier. Highly recommended for anyone that wants very personalized attention and care for their pet while they are out of town. We will definitely we utilizing her in the future!

    After visiting all the doggy daycare facilities around our area (West LA), there is no one I would rather have take care of my dog. Diana is very attentive to my eight year old Boston Terrier's needs and clearly loves animals. She understands that our pets are family, and treats our girl like her own. We are so lucky to have found such a great care taker. I would give Diana, the Westside Dog Nanny, 10 stars if I could!

    I met Diana while she was walking a dog and I was walking mine. We had a nice chat and she gave me her pamphlet. She really impressed me with her knowledge and experience of animals so I referred a neighbor who is happily using her daycare and boarding services. Recently I hurt my knee and had to call Diana to walk my dog. She came to my rescue with short notice. She's dependable and very good with my dog. I highly recommend her services!
