Safety, trust & environment

I treat each pet like they’re part of my family, whether they’re staying in my home or theirs. I make sure to stick to their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes playtime, walks, meals, and grooming as needed. I also keep in touch with the pet’s owner to provide regular updates and make sure everything is going smoothly. Above all, I strive to create a loving, safe environment where pets can feel at ease while their owners are away

Information Delia S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your pet’s routine, likes, dislikes, and any special care they may need before I start looking after them. Things like their favorite toys, dietary restrictions, or medical needs help me provide the best care possible and ensure they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away.

A typical day

I love keeping pets engaged with activities they enjoy! For dogs, it’s all about walks, fetch, and fun games. For cats, I focus on toys and cozy cuddle time. I always make sure to match activities to each pet’s personality to keep them happy and entertained.

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting as a side job for 4 years now, but my passion for animals has been a lifelong journey. From a young age, I’ve been surrounded by pets, and pet sitting has allowed me to further channel my love and care for animals. My experience spans a variety of pets, with a particular focus on caring for large breed dogs during my time in Australia. Whether tending to puppies or elderly pets, I approach each responsibility with the utmost dedication and a deep understanding of their unique needs.

Delia is the most incredible pet sitter we have ever had. Our dogs are A LOT to handle and she did it with ease, going above and beyond to get them exercise and play time. I can’t thank her enough.

Delia did such an amazing job watching our pup while we were away on short notice! She did a great job of sending lots of photos and updates which kept us at ease while we were out of town! She took Sonny on lots of adventures! I would definitely recommend Delia to anyone looking for a sitter! We will definitely reach out again!

I couldn’t recommend Delia more highly as a pet sitter or dog walker! Delia has a natural way with animals and has cared for my pets on several occasions. She’s always been incredibly reliable, loving, and attentive to their needs. Her calm and friendly demeanor puts pets at ease, and she takes the time to understand each animal’s personality and preferences. Delia’s passion for animals, combined with her excellent communication and professionalism, makes her the perfect choice for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Your furry friends will be in the best hands with her!
