About: I was raised in a home that had both dogs and cats. I'm the proud dad of a 16 year-old cat. I also have years of experience as a pet sitter for both dogs and cats. I'm on fixed income, so my schedule is very flexible. It's important to me that I have plenty of time to build trust with new furry clients. I strive to create an environment where your animal will feel cherished and comfortable in your absence. I believe that quality 1-on-1 time is critical to keeping your pets stress-free.
“Brittney has been great with my dog and it has been such a huge help to have someone come and walk her while I am not able to! Winnie lays by the door after Brittney leaves, hoping she will come back for another walk, so I have nothing but good things to say about her.”
“i just moved to the area and was nervous to use rover for my 5 month, high energy dog. however, delany was awesome with my dog, river, and made this a great experience. she let me know when she got to my house, and when she left. she kept me informed and updated on how river was doing & gave me piece of mind while i was at work. she was flexible and accommodating & she is great at communicating. 10/10 would recommend delany if you’re looking for someone to care for your furry friend! 🐶🐾”

About: I saw this quote that said, “Listen, I am not a cat or a dog person, I am an animal person. I would pet a crocodile if I knew it wouldn’t eat me.” This quote spoke to me on a personal level😂 My boyfriend and I live in a townhome and both will help out with the pups!

About: My entire childhood my aunt who lived with us, bred toy poodles. So, caring for puppies to dogs is my specialty. From feeding to walks, snuggles and play, I do it all with love and care. Since having children, we have discussed fostering dogs and we found this would be the best way to love on some dogs and make an income as a stay-at-home mom of two. I am a stay-at-home mom, so we are available mostly all the time other than drop off and Pickup from school, and can move commitments around fairly easily. I have a fenced in yard, and two young children to run around and play with your fur baby, walk with them and help feed them. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a lot of running space along walking paths.
