A typical day

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Dahlya, or Dee for short. From a very young age, I have always had a love for animals, no matter the species. I have nearly 20 years of pet care experience. I grew up with a Yorkie & a Pit/Cane Corso mix, who were my everything until they sadly passed away due to old age. Now I share my life with a sweet black cat, her name is Lucky Clover 🍀 🐈‍⬛ I have experience with puppies/kittens, special needs, senior and disabled pets. I have worked in animal shelters & doggy daycares & cared for pets in my community for years!

Dahlya did a great job taking care of Ham. She provided lots of pictures and regular updates. I could tell Ham was happy to have her around just from the pictures.

Dahlya house sat for us over the holidays and took great care of our cat and new kitten! We came home to a clean house, with happy kitties whose box was clean and they were well fed. This was our first time working with Dahlya, and we would definitely book again. She was reliable, provided regular updates, and kind.

Dahlya is absolutely wonderful! She has watched my dog, Stella, and cat, Nina, several times while I’ve been out of town for work, and I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her care. She’s incredibly responsive and keeps me updated with regular photos and messages, which I really appreciate. It’s obvious my pets adore her—they’re always calm and happy when I return. I would highly recommend Dahlya to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!
