Availability

I work from home so I've got high flexibility to accommodate your schedule so don't ever hesitate to ask for special needs. I can generally provide anything you need within reasonable means. I've also got a great relationship with a local vet where I volunteer so can help with vet visits or emergency visits while all animals are in my care.

Information Traci S. would like to know about your pet

I do not have a breed preference, even though my rescue is for the 'little ones'. I would have to have an in depth conversation with any dog guardian prior to accepting this very important role of caring for their fur kids. I would ask questions about their personality, age, health, history (where they came from), their likes and dislikes, their triggers (whether naughty or nice), their energy level, their diet, their sleeping preferences, the 'rules of the house'...and the list goes on. It is a case by case basis, but I would be sure to cover all the basic (and sometimes special) needs of the individual dog. Every pup is different, as are their habits and the expectations of their human parents. I would need to know as much as possible so I would be able to fulfill their needs.

A typical day

Personally, I am a fan of going for walks on the trails along the coast. It all depends on the dogs and their levels of activity and endurance. I also have sling pouches and front carriers to let the little ones enjoy the day while riding along in comfort...if they choose not to walk. I also have kiddie pools at the house for those that like the water, and I have a great bin of toys to play fetch on my front lawn.

Pets

501c3 Rescue, animals are my life!

Pet care experience

I have been in RESCUE for several years, and founded and established my own non-profit 501c3. I specialize in rescuing senior and medical needs dogs from our local shelters; Carson (my home shelter), SEAACA and Downey to name a few. Animals are my life, and they are treated with the utmost respect and dignity. I have a proven track record of rehabilitating dogs that were ready for euthanasia, and have outstanding references. there is nothing I will not do for animals, and they are my utmost priority in this world. I am a rescue so I also have a vast team of other rescues sisters/brothers and veterinary care/ resources at my disposal to help in the event of any emergency as well.

Traci is awesome and took good care of my Benni boy. I get nervous whenever I leave him with a new dog sitter but she immediately made me feel at ease the moment I met her. She dedicates herself to rescuing and nurturing dogs with lots of tender loving care. Benni had a huge smile on his face when I picked him up and he seemed in such great spirits. I can tell he had a great time with her and his new furry friends. I really appreciated Traci’s updates and videos of my Benni have a good time while I was out of town. He can be a little loud mouth so I was also grateful for her patience and understanding of his quirks. 😁 🫶🏽

Tracie was honestly amazing. I was a little nervous leaving my pet at first, but she made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated with messages and pictures, which I really appreciated, it felt good knowing everything was going well. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and takes her time with them. When I got back, my pet was happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. I’d definitely trust her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thanks tracie.

Thank you, Traci for accommodating my 2 fur babies during the Christmas holiday weekend. Love all the photos and video updates. We will definitely be using Traci's services again when we are out of town.
