I think one of the Storm Trooper recruits brought the Dianoga on board the space station and flushed it down the toilet when it got too big to hide in his quarters.
Why anyone would want one as a pet is beyond me.

Anyway there was a cultural shifts from Republic troops to Empire
troops right? I don't think a Strom Trooper ever takes off his mask
and smile at his commander. So even someone working for the Hutts may
show emotional attachment to a Rancor beast. But the Empire are so
removed from humanity that they lost even the ability to tame and use
any natural creatures.

They might've lost the ability to care for them, but the Empire is totally
willing to use them. Don't forget that they had enslaved the Wookies by the
time of Episode IV.

I always think of that as parasite, like mice and roaches that would
be found on (real) aircraft carriers. But ok... dewbacks and
dianogas...

The difference is that aircraft carriers are built on Earth where it is easy
for parasites to sneak aboard. Dianogas don't appear advanced enough to
have flown up in the vacuum of space. Also it is important to remember that
the Dianoga was able to leave the trash compactor before the walls starting
coming together. Based off of the sound, it seems like a hidden door was
opened so it appears that the Empire was aware of its existence and had a
system for keeping it alive.
