I started DaleyPawz after many years of having multiple side jobs including nannying, working at pizza shops, and landscaping, but no matter what other jobs I had, I was always walking dogs. I started with one fanny pack and a bunch of keys. This has been a dream come true to combine my passion of the outdoors and deep love for dogs. I'm grateful every day to be able to provide you with our services!

We are so grateful for our community and for everyone who has helped Daleypawz get to this point. We can’t wait to continue to see where Daleypawz goes.

    Hi, I’m Fern! I love all animals, dogs & cows especially! I’ve been vegan for 6 years. A New England native, I grew up in Newington, summering in the Berkshires, then following my dream of studying pastry at The Culinary Institute of America in upstate New York, where I lived for the past 5 years. I recently returned to the area and I could not be more excited. When I’m not walking dogs, I’m creating in the kitchen— baking plant-based desserts for my small business Ferncakes. I live my life with compassion and I’m a firm believer in the healing power of animals, and the sacred relationships that we share with our four legged friends. I can’t wait to meet yours!

  • Sherri

    Hi, I'm Sherri, a New York native who has called Connecticut home for most of my adult life. Alongside my husband and two amazing kids, our family is never complete without a furry friend by our side. I've always been captivated by the resilience and boundless love that dogs bring into our lives.

    My family has adopted nearly all our pets over the years, and I cherish the journey of welcoming dogs with diverse backgrounds. Witnessing their incredible capacity for forgiveness and love, even after rough starts, never fails to amaze me.

    In my downtime, you'll find me immersed in a hot yoga class, hitting the pavement for a run, or expressing myself through art & design.

    I consider myself fortunate to spend time with animals of all kinds. It's a privilege I don't take lightly, and I'm thrilled at the prospect of caring for your pets with the same devotion and love as I do for my own. I’m excited to embark on this journey together, ensuring your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. Looking forward to meeting your furry companions.

    Hi, I’m Julia! I live in West Hartford with my two cats, Leo (pictured) and Berry. Leo has diabetes, neurological issues, and a slew of other chronic health conditions that we have managed together for three years now (and he’s thriving)! Nurturing Leo through so many health issues has given me SO much experience with (and a soft spot for) elderly, disabled, and special needs animals. I’m very happy to be able to bring that to the amazing DaleyPawz team.

    I’m a local photographer, oil  painter & muralist, personal vegan chef, and now I have the great pleasure of caring for your pets as well!

    In my free time, I enjoy practicing and teaching therapeutic yoga, hiking, trapping stray and sick/injured cats, fundraising for their vet care, and finding them furever homes.
