Hello, I'm Delia! I’ve spent a majority of my life taking care of animals. I have 15+ years of experience including experience volunteering at animal shelters. When I'm available to board, I board more specifically with small & medium sized dogs, but am open to larger breeds for services outside my own home. I work with every one of my clients with any special requests they have and provide plenty of pictures with daily updates. I also have experience with cats, birds, and reptiles. I love all animals just the same. I have also been a live in dog sitter, have accommodated strict schedules, taken active leash trained dogs on long hikes, etc. Please don't hesitate to ask about any special requests you may have for your pets care. I have 2 spoiled pups of my own: a rambunctious Lhasa Apso mix (Gambit) and a timid special needs toy poodle (Yara). I love taking my pups to parks for walks, short hikes in the mountains, walks around the neighborhood, running around the back yard, throwing around their favorite squeak toys, and loads of cuddles. I'm a medically retired Marine Corps vet with no children, so my pups are the center of attention. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies for ultimate spoiling!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Delia did a wonderful job taking care of our cata. Would definitely hire her again. She is reliable, thorough, and makes sure the pets have the attention they need. The photos and notes after each visit were fun and reassuring.

Literally could not have asked for a better pet sitter. She played with my babies and sent me pictures each time she came over. She fed them according to my instructions and they were both very happy when I got back. Will definitely use her again.

Delia does an amazing job with our *puppy* Zoe! We get detailed updates throughout the day and she comes back happy, healthy and even better trained! Delia is very professional and dedicated to working with her clients to meet their needs. Thanks for your flexibility and training tips!

Delia has house sat for me on multiple occasions. I didn’t know how to feel having a stranger in my house but everything turned out great. I got lots of updates and pictures of Benji being spoiled rotten and having fun. I even came home and everything was more clean than I left it. Delia rox and I will most definitely be using her for my next business trip.
