Highlights
Pet care experience
Being the person my dog thinks I am
Until recently, I had a 55lb Beagle-Bully mix of my own and used Rover for her when needed (grateful for some wonderful sitters who were very accommodating to her idiosyncrasies). I grew up with dogs, horses and cats. My mother is a bit of a "whisperer" and taught me how to "understand what's in their head", anticipate reactions, understand context of behavior and gain trust (comes in handy for both people and pets!). I have experience with separation anxiety, dominant behaviors and with administering medication. I love the words, "I aspire to be the person my dog thinks I am." We should all be so lucky as to have the love of a dog. I am also very cognizant that "we are their whole world" when a dog lives in the city (I grew up in a rural area where dogs spend more time outside roaming). Let me know if there are any behaviors I should be watching for and mitigating, as well as any commands, etc that your pooch is used to. I work a "typical" 8-5 work week with flexibility to be home for part of the week or part of the day, especially with a little notice to adjust meetings/schedules. I would also love to check in, brush, snuggle, play with and/or walk your fur baby evenings and weekends. Always a delight to meet a new personality!

Ratings and reviews
Tracey is a great sitter. Reliable and communicates well and takes great care of our pup!
Otis had a great day in Tracey's home for day care. Tracey was thoughtful and adapted to our special requests for Otis and his anxiety.
Can’t recommend Tracey enough! She’s easy to coordinate with, shares a daily update with pictures, and our dog has a wonderful time with her. We feel great when we’re away knowing our dog is well taken care of.
Tracey is always so great with Pinot! Very patient and responsive. I know my pup is in great hands with her!
Excellent sitter for my Chihuahua, Milo! Caring, gentle and attentive - many, many thanks to Tracey!!
She is always so great with our dog and sends sweet updates! She is very communicative and easy to work with. Our dog always seems so happy when she returns!

Schedule
I work a full time weekday job with flexibility to be home part of the week or part of the day. I can adapt quite a bit to accommodate a stay when I have a little notice. If I go into work, it's usually late morning or midday (aka half day).
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
If boarding, pets are welcome on furniture and in the bed at my home. I have a couple squeaker toys, a little sleeping pad on the floor if needed, doggie bags, and some water/food dishes. I don't have a yard but live near the lake with lots of great walking /running for dogs that desire the activity (I walk several miles/week). If needed, I have personal experience with the patience and empathy needed with a reactive/anxious dog so just let me know what you know and I can carry on while you away, adapting as needed. I do have two very tolerant cats so it's important that they are able to coexist (I have had some prey-driven dogs where we had to make accomodations to be seperated).
Pets
A typical day
Given I'm home quite a bit, I love having a furry distraction during when one needs a break (or bring a little humor to whatever online meeting is taking place). When I'm done for the day, I'm usually outside to put on a few miles and happy to take your dog (or cat ) for as much or little of that as they would like. And, of course, finish with whatever level of snuggles/pets your fur baby prefers.
