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 shared our home with 4 rescued cats Snickelfritz, Hershey, Inq. (our little three legged tripod) and a rescued bengal named Skreech. Snickelfritz passed away from lung cancer and took with him a huge piece of our hearts. 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 V 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. Inq. passed away a year later peacefully at home due to kidney disease at the age of 16. In the winter of 2025 we decided to rescue the sweetest most fragile 7month old bloodhound puppy from Quebec. We named her Jolene. Our hearts were ripped in half a week later when we had to release her from her pain due to a severe congenital disease I couldn’t save her from. She had suffered since her birth and she was brought to me to know what absolute love and admiration was even if only for such a short time. She was assisted into peace while wrapped in my arms & covered in my tears. Every single person & specialist that met her will never be able to hear the song Jolene without tearing.

I have been employed as a Veterinary Assistant for 35+ 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
