Hi! I'm Delaney.
If you're reading this, you're probably trying to figure out if I'm the right person to trust with your furry family. I totally get it. I'd be doing the same thing! So let me tell you a little bit about who I am and why I love what I do.
My Story
I've always had a passion for helping others, but it took me some time to figure out exactly where I belonged. After a lot of thinking and soul-searching, I realized I wanted to work with animals. Animals are truly my passion — the unconditional love they give, the way they can turn any day around — they're such precious creatures, and they deserve all the love and care in the world.
But here's the thing: I didn't want to just work and earn money. I wanted to put my heart into what I do every single day. So that's exactly what I did with Shadow Paws. I treat every pet like they're family and give them the best care I possibly can. Every day I get to work brings genuine joy to my heart because I get to spend time with these wonderful animals, learn their unique personalities, and become a trusted part of their lives. This isn't just a job for me, it's what I'm meant to do.
What I Believe
- I believe pets are family. They're not "just dogs" or "just cats" — they're members of your household who depend on you, love you, and deserve to be treated with kindness and respect.
- I believe that every pet is different. Some need lots of exercise, some need quiet companionship, and some just need someone to make sure they get their meds on time. Whatever your pet needs, I'll meet them where they are.
- I believe in showing up. Rain, shine, holidays, whatever — if I say I'll be there, I'll be there.
- And I believe that pet care should feel personal, not transactional. You're not hiring a service — you're welcoming someone into your home and your pet's life. I take that responsibility seriously, and I'll always treat your pets (and your home) with the care and respect they deserve.
Why Choose Shadow Paws?

I'll keep you updated
Photos, texts, and real-time updates
I know what it's like to miss your pets when you're away. That's why I send photos and text updates throughout the day so you always know they're happy and safe. Got questions? I'm just a call or text away.

If something goes wrong, I'll contact you immediately. If it's a serious emergency and I can't reach you, I won't hesitate — I'll get your pet to their vet (or the nearest emergency clinic) right away, and keep trying you.
