Diane Squires, Local Business

I grew up in Queens, NY and moved to Lafayette Hill in 2001. I now live in Plymouth Meeting with my husband, Dave, and son Tyler, who is a Junior at Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School and CMTHS. Our adult daughter, Steph, lives in Philly.

We have 10 pets - 3 dogs, 2 birds, 2 rabbits, 2 chinchillas and a red-footed tortoise - in our family. My company, ​Happy Feet Pup Walks, is named for my dog Pippen (on the left in the photo), who is very skilled at dancing on her hind legs when she's happy.

I've worked in a variety of corporate environments over the last 35+ years, and in 2017 decided to semi-retire in order to pursue building a small business caring for animals and doing what makes my soul happy.

I have written a few books over the years, but don't have much time for hobbies these days (other than during the pandemic, when I had more time on my hands than I ever hope to again). In my spare time I am active in the rescue/adoption community. ​If you are interested in adopting a homeless animal of any species and would like some guidance, clients and non-clients alike are welcome to contact me and I will help out in any way I can.
