“Deliris is one of the most sweetest, best person I've ever met. She really loves animals, Sasha loves Deliris very much because she was so lovable to Sasha and treated her so amazing, I will definitely use Deliris services again”


“Came back to two very happy and content kitties, communication was great throughout the whole day and really put me at ease whilst i was away on a work trip abroad :-) Thank you so much!”


“Highly recommend Bailee! She was attentive with our puppy during his hour check-in and sent us a bunch of pics. Echo loved his time with Bailee and looks forward to seeing her again!”


“Anya is a cat whisperer! Our boy is very shy around strangers and he went right up to her like he’s known her for years. She was attentive and provided such great pics and notes. We will without a doubt be using her again, and you should, too!”


“Jon has been an excellent sitter for our cat multiple times. He keeps us well informed of our cat’s activities and does his best to break through the cat’s grumpy demeanor. Highly recommend.”



“Barbara is great with our boys Mickey and Joey. She always plays with them and gives them loving attention. One of our cats requires medication and Barbara reports on on his health and medication intake-Joey hides at pill time but barbara persists with our reluctant boy. Barbara is reliable and we all enjoy her visits!”


“Lillian is awesome! Extremely attentive. Always left great notes. She was prompt and showed up twice daily at consistent time frames to take care of my little man! He is shy, and she even got him to snuggle on her lap after a few days of bonding! I know my little buddy Charleston is in great hands now whenever I leave town because I have Lillian to help care for him! Thanks again!”


“Went extremely above and beyond this time. Consistently went out of her way to help during multiple complications and everything. If i could I would give an even higher review. Absolutely incredible!!”


“Shirley was wonderful! Communicated really well, went above and beyond expectations, and sent lots of pictures/videos of Clementine. I highly recommend her to watch after your babies ??”


“I have an incontinent fur baby which requires daily bladder expression. Vera made it a point to come out for multiple pre visits to learn how to properly express Tequila’s bladder prior to my trip. Even though where I was staying, I had no signal for the majority of my trip, Vera managed to successfully check in with me during each visit. She gave detailed accounts of her visits and met Tequila at her comfort level for care. When Tequila leaked, Vera made sure to wipe it up as well. She’s definitely someone I will call on again to look after my fur babies.”


About: I have been a pet owner my whole life and have been walking dogs for 3 years. I have always had great experiences when caring for other families pets! I currently work part time 8am-12pm. Anytime after that I am free Monday-Thursday. I prefer staying in near by towns such as Maywood, Paramus, and Hackensack but am flexible. I am very cautious when entering homes and making sure doors are closed and locked when I leave. Your pet is in great hands with me!
