Pet care experience
Meet your fur-babies' step fur-mom
Everyone knows me as the dog-obsessed friend. I've never met a dog I didn't have a connection with. Dogs seem to sense that something is different about me and that I'm the one to go to for extra love and pets. I have particular experience with and compassion for senior dogs. My husband and I rescued an 8 year old black Lhasa Apso in Chicago and got to spend 4 wonderful years making sure her remaining time was filled with love and happiness. That experience opened our hearts and minds to just how special a relationship with an older dog can be, and is what inspired us to open our home to fostering animals. When I'm not fostering or dog sitting, I'm playing with my neph-pups, seeing what the neighborhood dogs are up to, or watching funny dog videos online.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Our home has a spacious fenced-in backyard for lots of running (plus some daring squirrels and rabbits around that seem to want to be chased). We have an adjustable crate for varying sized fur babies that I line with comfy blankets and padding. We keep the crate in our guest room with a noise machine and overhead fan so they feel comfortable and safe. For dogs who are used to sleeping in a bed, we forego the crate and just let a pup snooze right on the guest bed. If it's your home, I follow your instructions to make sure your pet is as comfortable and happy as if you were still there. I'm also a big photo taker! I will provide pup-dates multiple times a day until you tell me to stop.
Ratings and reviews
Max had a great time with Delaney! He spent lots of time in the backyard, which he LOVES. He was a very happy pup when we picked him up, and we couldn't ask for more than that. She gave him lots of individual attention, and let him enjoy his toys too. Thank you! Definitely recommend Delaney!
Delaney was the perfect sitter for our senior dog, Mickey. At 14 our miniature schnauzer is rather set in his ways and Delaney wanted to make sure she knew how to make him feel right at home. Because Delaney went out of her way to create a welcoming and friendly ‘home away from home’ for him, he bonded with her immediately. We knew from the beginning that it was a good fit. Mickey is excited to stay with Delaney again and we recommend her highly!
I would give her a 10 if I could my dog was very happy and I can tell now that we’re home that she does miss Delaney and her family. She took very good care of my dog. I was very very very happy with how she looked when I got home. I will definitely use her again. I think Dovie would enjoy being over there also.
Delaney is simply a dog lover. Very responsible and she does a nice job communicating wants and needs. When she watches our dog we have peace of mind. I highly recommend Delaney. Craig S.
Oh my goodness! Delaney is amazing with our crazy yellow lab! I could not make a stronger recommendation for a person that loves dogs so much! My only hang up would be that she may not be as available for our dog if she works for ROVER. :)
I recently had the pleasure of working with Delaney to care for my beloved dog (Pipa) and three cats (Edgar, Olivia, and Louie). I cannot recommend Delaney highly enough! She was absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond to ensure our pets were well taken care of while I was away. From the moment I met Delaney, I could tell she was a true animal lover. She took the time to get to know my pets and understand their unique needs and quirks. I was impressed with Delaney's professionalism and attention to detail throughout the process. Delaney was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. She provided regular updates and photos of my pet while I was away, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying about my pet's well-being. I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter than Delaney. She went above and beyond to ensure my pet was happy, healthy and well-cared for. I will be booking with Delaney again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Delaney, for taking such great care of my furry friend!
