About: I treat every pet like family and understand that no two animals are the same. I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special medical needs. I’m trained in administering oral and injectable medications, and I’m patient, consistent, and attentive to behavior cues. I’ve also raised my own pets and cared for high-energy breeds that need extra playtime and structure. Whether your dog needs gentle care or active engagement, I tailor each visit to their comfort level and routine. Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening snuggles, I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. I love being active and outdoors, so daily walks and check-ins are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel comfortable—plus lots of snuggles and attention throughout the day. I stick closely to their normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, and bedtime so they feel secure and at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I follow all instructions closely, keep things tidy, and send regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Delani does an amazing job caring for our 2 fur-children. She is responsible, dependable, caring and will go above and beyond to take care of our boys when we need her too. Our boys love when Delani is taking care of them. She loves each pet she cares for like her own. We do not have to worry about our boys when Delani is caring for them. She is even comfortable taking care of our newly medical complex pup. She's amazing. We recommend her to anyone!”
