Their Own Bed Pet Sitting

Hello my name is Colleen Diamante and I am the sole proprietor of Their Own Bed Pet Sitting. 

I have spent my life committed to improving the health and well being of animals, especially those in need. I have had the privilege of sharing my home with numerous rescued dogs and cats. Molly my first rescue was a severely abused and neglected beagle. After a year of kindness, respect and love she graduated from St. John's Ambulance as a licensed Therapy dog. She brought a smile and happiness to everyone she met. She gave us 7 wonderful years of joy and laughter.  After a battle with cancer we lost our beloved angel. Since her passing we share our home with 3 cats Hershey, Inq. (our little three legged tripod) and a rescued bengal named Skreech. We then rescued 2 hound dogs, Sweet Pea a foxhound who had overcome so many, many challenges. She was severely abused, abandoned and so petrified of people that she was forced to live alone on the streets for over a year . She was diagnosed with diabetes and required daily insulin injections and Popeye an 11 years old Coonhound with a Grade IV heart murmur and congestive heart failure. Sadly we had to say goodbye to both of them in 2018. Popeye gave me 4 & Sweet Pea 6 of the most wonderful years of my life. Just before Sweet Pea passed we adopted an 8 yr old Bloodhound “Beau” who spent his life tied up on a chain. He never knew sadness, loneliness or chains ever again! Beau passed away in our arms in 2021 from cancer. Our hearts are broken, he was the epitome of a Gentle Giant. We adopted before Beau’s passing a year old Bluetick Coonhound “Wyatt” who’s owner shot him because he was not a good hunter. The bullet remains but the only think Wyatt will ever have to hunt is a cookie! Unfortunately recently in 2022 we lost our dear calico Hershey, she was my dearest feline sweetheart for 15 years. She passed away at home in my arms.

I have been employed as a Veterinary Assistant for 30+ years and therefore am capable of administering medication both orally and injectable.  I am familiar with different sizes and types of dogs and understand that each dog and cat possess their own unique personality.  I have volunteered for many years in multiple rescue groups.  

I have a huge favour to ask of my clients & future clients. Due to my asthma I find it difficult to be around scents. I ask if you have scented candles, scented plug ins, incense or air fresheners that you cover them or unplug. Unfortunately I am unable to service homes that are smoked in, this includes marijuana. This will greatly help my ability to stay in your home. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but thank you in advance for your assistance. 

I service only within London, Ontario and contact hours are Monday-Friday 9am-5pm.

THIS IS NOT JUST MY BUSINESS, IT IS MY PASSION
