Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Delaney. I have a bachelor’s degree in Anthrozoology from Carroll College as well as extensive experience with animals through my degree and previous jobs. I have worked professionally in the pet care industry for over 5 years in dog daycare, boarding, and training capacities. Through these jobs, I cared for multiple dogs of all breeds and specific needs. I have experience in preparing meals, administering medication, training dogs, walking dogs, and other general care through my education and work history. I also fostered a shelter dog through my college courses, learning to train dogs and ultimately finding my foster pup his fur-ever home with a loving family. My past clients have ranged from pets to working canines, so I have a wide skill set with various breeds. Let me know if you have any questions about my experience or need clarification!
Reviews
Delaney is a top choice for your animal companion needs while you’re away - she has a background in animal science, keeps you updated with photos and the journal log feature of the Rover app and is very responsive. I appreciated that she came the weekend before my trip to pick up the house key and to meet my cat too!
Delaney is exceptional with dogs. She comes to her work with a huge amount of experience, both professionally and academically. She is trustworthy and responsible. Animals take to her naturally and trust her on site. We highly recommend Delaney.
About Delaney L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Typically I will meet you and your pet(s) before committing to a solo drop in at your home. We can discuss any specific details that you would like accommodated for your pet(s) then. I treat any animal under my care like my own and love to create a rapport between myself and my client’s pets.
Information Delaney L. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if they have any behavioral issues that could be a safety concern for me or others (I.e. reactivity towards strangers, running away, escape artists, etc). I have worked with dogs that have various behavioral problems, I just need to know ahead of time any issues as it can take some dogs longer to warm up than others.
A typical day
I love to take dogs on hikes, play games with them, do short training sessions, and more! I tailor my visits around what you would like me to accomplish with your dog as well as what your dog prefers (I.e. some dogs like fetch and others do not).

Availability
