The Fairy "DogMother"
Pet care experience
I have always had a love for Dogs, at age 2 I would "train" our German Shepard Missy, I would have her sit, stay, help feed her, bathe her. Forget the dolls and toys, I had a Dog! I started pet sitting & dog walking at age 10, over 40 years ago. I wanted new roller skates and had to work for it. I started with our neighbor across the street , she had 2 dogs and worked from home. That is where it all started. Soon word got out and I was the neighborhood pet sitter. Over the years I have learned allot about Dogs and how they are individuals just like us. Each pet has their own personality, quirks and temperaments. I adapt to their specific needs and wants. If they want cuddles we cuddle, if they like their space I give them space. It's all about the pets needs and each day can be different. They are "the star of the show" and treated as such. Taking care of pets is who I am - not what I do.. My passion and love are evident from the moment I am greeted by your fur kid. I am flexible and can provide last minute visits for potty breaks when your stuck at work or get called away . I owned a pet sitting business in Sacramento , where I also trained humans & their fur kids. Pets are my passion and where I belong, providing unconditional love with a pawsitive approach for your pets. I treat every animal as a family member..yours or mine they are loved and cared for as my own. Playtime, walks, talking to them, (yes I do) cuddles on the couch to bedtime & meals are all customized for your pets needs & routine. Keeping your fur kid & you happy and stress free is my priority. I am the Pawsitivly Purrfect choice for your fur kids! ** DUE TO RISING COST OF GAS in order to service some areas prices may slightly differ and will be quoted before meet and greet** This is all I do! I have turned my passion into my business. I am flexible and work with allot of first responders with crazy schedules. last minute visits are accepted. I treat every fur kid as if they are my own. Every client is different, we will put together custom care based on your needs as well as the fur kids. ** DROP in visits are 45 minutes and include a walk, watering plants, taking garbage cans to curb, mail and newspaper while your away** This is all I do and who I am! I take care of your fur babies out of love not need, it’s not a job it’s a blessing to do what i love everyday! Your fur kids safety is priority! I know getting exercise and a walk daily is very important for health and mental stimulation, keeping your dog healthy and safe is more important. The age and breed of each dog is different. If you have a braxyphaelic breed - bulldog, pug, shitz zu , mastiff etc or an older dog their tolerance is lower than other breeds. Extreme weather hot to cold and raining, visits and walk times will be adjusted to keep your fur kids safe happy and healthy. Earlier walks or a creative stay at home play time , waterless baths and brush outs. Weather is monitored weekly, daily and adjustments made and communicated. I go by the "REAL FEEL" Index to keep your pet safe! **
Reviews
Tracey was a rockstar. Felt so comfortable leaving the dogs in her care. She is a 10/10
We are so grateful to have Tracey walk our Golden Retriever. She’s great at communicating and makes sure our dog gets what he needs.
Tracey is outstanding. She is very experienced with dogs and acts professionally every step of the way. So glad to have found her for our high energy Golden Retriever.
Tracey was very attentive and in tune with our 7 year old husky, Laika. She brushed her and kept her happy during an extended drop in visit. I would definitely call on Tracey again.

Information Tracey B. would like to know about your pet
I do things a little different, I set up 2 meet & greets. During our first meet & greet I spend the time getting to know your pets and you, I do not rush and you get to know me! we visit, it's very relaxed and this helps everyone be at ease and creates a positive memory for your fur kid. I bond with your pets not my binder, I focus my attention on them. If everyone is comfortable and you decide to book I come back a week prior to the start date and do a Consultation. I ask questions ranging from allergies,medications, vet info and personality traits to funny quirks. I do not breed, age or special needs discriminate, I love them all.. I have experience with Bully breeds, braxophaelic (smashy faces) wolf hybrids, senior care, vision/hearing loss to police k9 and dog aggressive behavior.
