Dog Walking Delhaven

About: Hello! I am an experienced dog walker and animal caretaker. I am a lover of all animals and have had a variety of animals as pets throughout my life (cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, hamsters), and can provide care for any of these animals. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and abilities and can provide any care they need. I currently work full-time from home and travel occasionally. I have a flexible schedule and I am able to walk dogs or complete drop-ins early in the morning, during my lunch break, after my work day, and anytime on the weekends. I am unable to board any cats or dogs in my home; however, I’m happy to sit in your home, stay as needed, and complete drop-ins while you’re away.

About: I’ve had 11 pets in my lifetime! Two of my cats lived to be 24!, so they were definitely spoiled. I currently have a puppy that is a lab and pit bull mix and man is he wild. I have taken care of animals most of my life (even pregnant dogs) and I treat each one as my own. I have taken care of my friends fur babies for over 4 years and I’d be happy to take care of yours as well! I’m a college student finishing my degree, and I’m only in class for about an hour a day, so I’m home most of the time! My schedule is very flexible, which gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and lots of attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first! I have two friendly miniature dachshunds of my own, so I’m very used to keeping a close eye on pets and following their normal routines. I’m happy to accommodate crates, feeding schedules, medications, special instructions, or anything else that helps your pet feel at home.

About: As a maltipoo owner for 4 years, I know firsthand what small and doodle breeds need. They need gentle handling, regular grooming upkeep, and lots of love. I understand separation anxiety, picky eating habits, and the importance of keeping routines consistent. Your dog won’t just be watched, they’ll be spoiled. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like part of my family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine as a dog owner myself. I’m available most days and can accommodate last-minute requests. I’m flexible with drop-offs and pickups, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the day. Your dog will be in a safe, pet-proofed home with a maltipoo who loves making new friends. I’m experienced with small breeds and know how to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding schedules, leash all dogs on walks, and send regular photo updates so you always know your pup is happy.

“We had a very, very last minute request but shawna was able to come through for us and Luna and went above and beyond. We really appreciate everything she did and I don’t think Luna missed us one bit because of her”

About: As mentioned, I work in vet med! I am experienced with all ages, temperaments, breeds, health issues, and needs! I love a couch potato but I also own and love a working breed. I understand the importance of routine & mental stimulation! I spoil my fur children & understand wanting to keep yours happy while you’re away, but also able to trust that they’re safe! I own a dog that is overcoming his reactivity & that has required a lot of training & positive reinforcement work from myself in the presence of triggers—so I understand the difference in reactivity/anxiety vs aggression. I work full time Fridays through Mondays currently, but I have full availability during the week on Tuesdays through Thursdays. I don’t mind early mornings or late nights I would never leave someone’s pet unattended while under my care. I like for pets to have my full attention when I’m there. It’s what I’d expect & would want for my own! I’m very familar with canine & feline body language, anxiety, & aggression, and I know how to appropriately and effectively approach/handle pets whether they’re scared, reactive, or excited!

“Thank you so much for walking Izzy for us and being flexible with your availability!”
