Being a student athlete I’m always on the go, back & forth between all sides of town. The gym, campus, & my home. Checking in on/walking/feeding dogs is a welcome break in the monotony of a typical day. I will typically do a let out/walk first thing in the morning, another after classes around 2, & then be home around 6 for the rest of the night.

Pet care experience

I started dog sitting for family & friends after the pandemic was over & everyone started to go on vacations & work trips again. I loved getting to visit their furry friends as well as walk & play with them. Over the past few years I’ve began house sitting for friends of friends & it’s been such a treat to meet all types of four legged friends.

Delia is a gem! I had Delia house sit and care for my dog Foxy and my two cats, Rico and Penny, and she was wonderful. Leaving your pets and home in someone else’s hands can be nerve-wracking, but Delia made it completely stress-free. Foxy, Rico, and Penny were all happy and healthy when I returned, and my home was in great condition. It’s rare to find someone who treats your space and animals with such genuine care. I’ll absolutely be booking her again!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Delia was so great with our dog. We needed a sitter for a few hours and she was a great fit! Our dog has separation anxiety but seemed to get comfortable with Delia during the time we were gone. I would highly recommend Delia to watch your fur baby when you need a hand!
