Meet
the owner
Diana
Langley, founder and owner of PAWPRINTS has been a professional
pet sitter since 1991. She grew up where pets were an
important part of the family. It was only natural that
she would end up in a profession dealing with people that
saw their own pets as cherished family members.
She served
as Vice-president of The Sav-A-Pet Foundation, a non-profit
organization providing funds for low income pet owners
to pay for expensive vet bills.
Knowing how precious
her pets are in her life, Diana volunteered with PAWS
(Pets Are Wonderful Support). She helped care for the
pets of AIDS patients, letting them keep their pets
when they were no longer able to handle the day-to-day
tasks of pet care themselves.
She is a strong
advocate of leash-free parks in San Diego, and was one
of the original Co-chairs of D.O.G.S., a local park
user group. In February 2001, she founded and moderates
"The Pet Net", an on-line networking group
of local pet sitters. She has taught classes on how
to start and operate a successful pet sitting business
for The Learning Annex.
Diana is currently serving on the board of The Pet Sitters
Conference, an Annual Event held every January. It is
the only conference planned by
petsitters, for petsitters.
Diana is a believer
in giving back to her community. She was elected and
currently serves on the Greater Golden Hill Planning
Committee and works with the Park Sub-Committee. She
serves as an alternate on The East Village Redevelopment
Homeless Advisory Committee,and is a member of The North
Park Library Task Force, which is currently in the process
of deciding where to build and determining the design
of a new regional state-of-the-art library in the North
Park area.
Diana lives in
South Park with her two Australian Shepherds and two
cats. When she does manage to take time off, you'll
usually see her heading out of town towing her vintage
1965 Airstream trailer. |
