Highlights
Pet care experience
Senior dog & cat care, meds OK
Hi, I'm Deleyla! I care for every animal like they're my own family, because for the time they're with me, they are. I've spent more than 30 years caring for pets, from fostering dogs and cats to volunteering in animal shelters, and I share my home with a dog and three cats of my own. I've looked after just about every kind of critter along the way, but dogs and cats are my heart. What I love most is caring for the animals other people sometimes find intimidating: the seniors who've slowed down, the high-needs pups, the ones on a medication schedule, the shy ones who need time to trust. I'm calm, patient, and completely comfortable giving medications and keeping careful routines, so pets with extra needs are in steady, attentive hands. While your pet is with me, they get affection, attention, and their normal routine kept as close to home as possible, plus regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing they're happy and safe. I treat every pet like a member of your family, because that's exactly how it feels to me. I'd love to hear about your pet and what makes them special. Reach out anytime. I hope we talk soon!

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in their own home rather than mine, so your pet stays in the place where they feel safest, surrounded by their own bed, smells, and routine. I follow your feeding, exercise, and medication instructions to the letter, and I'm fully comfortable administering medications, including for seniors and high-needs pets. Safety is my constant priority: dogs stay leashed and harnessed on every walk, I double-check all doors, gates, and locks before and after each visit, and indoor cats stay safely inside. I'll also keep your home tidy and lived-in by bringing in mail and packages, managing lights, and leaving everything just as you left it. You'll get photo and video updates every visit, and I'm always reachable if anything comes up.
Ratings and reviews
Made us feel at ease with leaving our dogs for an extended period of time. Took great care of our dogs and house. Constant updates, above and beyond service!
Deleyla was so great with my dogs. She stayed at my home and took such great care of my pups. She even helped out when I had to watch my friends dog unexpectedly and pet sit for him as well. The amazing pics of your pups you’ll get are just an added bonus. ❤️
Our three girls absolutely loved Deleyla. She took amazing care of them and our house while we were out of town. Thank you!!
Deleyla did an amazing job with my dog saber. She was so great with our house as well. Very respectful and took lots of pics and videos. Will definitely rebook if available.
Deleyla is amazing! She took such great care of our senior dog and senior cat and fish tanks. I am a little bit of an anxious traveler and worry about my pets while I am out of town. She gave such great updates with photos and videos that always kept me at ease. It was nice coming home to happy pets and my house seemed cleaner than when we left. I would recommend her and hope we get a chance for her to watch our fur babies again.
Deleyla was awesome! She kept in touch and took really good care of our fur babies. I highly recommend Deleyla, we will definitely use her again!

Schedule
I have a flexible daytime schedule, which means I can build pet care around your pet's routine instead of squeezing them into mine. I'm available for morning, midday, and evening drop-in visits and walks, plus overnight house-sitting in your home. Because my days are flexible, I can cover the midday potty breaks, feedings, and medication doses that sitters with a strict 9-to-5 often can't, which makes a real difference for puppies, seniors, and pets on a schedule. I also keep my client list small enough that every pet gets genuine, unrushed attention.

- The more you tell me about your pet, the better I can keep them comfortable and safe. Before our first visit, it helps to know: their feeding schedule and any diet details; medications, doses, and timing; your vet's info and an emergency contact; their daily routine and favorite spots; any fears or triggers; how they do with strangers, other animals, and being alone; and where their food, leash, litter, and supplies are kept. If your pet has special needs, senior quirks, or a particular comfort routine, I want to hear all of it. There's no such thing as too much detail when it comes to caring for someone you love.
