About: All my life I’ve grown up with a variety of different pets, from cats named “Refrigerator”, an Iguana named “Dude-Man”, and your average Joe of a dog. During these years, I’ve learned that each dog, cat, and iguana has specific needs unlike any other of its kind - whether that’s extra love, time to be an introvert, or health care. I have skills to do basic trainings with dogs, as well as a strong skill in consistency to make sure your pet’s training you’ve worked so hard on continues to be worked for under my care. I’m a college student located at Indiana State University. I’m free nearly every evening and have a very flexible schedule to leave campus and ensure your pet can get the attention it deserves. I enjoy a written list of what your specific pet needs- just to make sure I hit every mark. I grew up with my grandmother, so I know how to respect a home!

“I worked with Tracy for 19 years in a home in Carmel, IN. This home had 5 dogs at one time. Tracy is an animal lover. Among her duties, she cared for the animals as if they were her own. She kept the dogs food, treats, and meds stocked, fed them, walked them, and took them to the vet when needed. The animals loved Tracy and were excited to see her always. She will be a great pet sitter, dog walker, and day care person.”

She has lots of knowledge in the caring for dogs, as well as any special medical attention they may need along the way. I have had the pleasure of having Desi dog-sit my two big fur babies. She did an amazing job taking care of them and keeping them occupied while we were away. I have nothing but positive thoughts about Desi and her dog caregiving skills! My family would definitely give her 5 star review!! We love her!!! ❤️”

“Emily has taken care of my pets (three dogs) on a number of occasions. Two of them are friendly, one not so much, but she is great with all three.

She is a natural around animals of all kinds, and has horses and dogs of her own.”
