Highlights
Pet care experience
Letting dogs be dogs :-)
I have 15½ years of professional animal care experience from PetsHotel, plus 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I'm very familiar with all the different personalities and needs that come with pets - from shy seniors to high-energy pups - and I love letting dogs be dogs so they can live their best life! I offer baths, nail trims/grinding, and I have plenty of experience administering medication. I'm comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and I bring lots of love, patience, and understanding to every visit. I recently moved to this beautiful rural area from a big city, and I service a large surrounding area. *For visits over 10 miles* from my home, rates will need to be adjusted to reflect a travel fee to cover gas/time, but I'm happy to work with you to figure out what's fair. I'm also very flexible with dates and times, including weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests when I can. My children may be with me sometimes, but they're very good with animals. I've worked hard to teach them dog body language and how to safely approach pets they don't know. I look forward to loving your pet like my own!

Safety, trust & environment
We are very much animal people. Our pets are allowed on our furniture and my pets have their own space. Two of my dogs are in their senior years and can be a bit cranky at times but they are used to new pets coming into the home as we have had lots of rescues and fosters throughout their lives. I currently do not have a fenced yard, but live in a lovely rural area and can offer outdoor time on leash. You are welcome to bring bedding and toys to help your pet feel at home 💞 but it is not required. I would recommend bringing a crate if your pet is accustomed to using one, as it can often serve as a comfy safe place. Please do provide food from home 🙂
Ratings and reviews
We had a great experience with Traci watching our pup in her home. Truly grateful for her and her family, we felt very welcomed and safe leaving Tula for the week. I appreciated the updates and knowing that Tula was safe, happy & having fun. Could not recommend her more highly. We will definitely be using her services again. Thanks, Traci!
Traci has always been such a wonderful presence in my dogs lives. I have known her for 10 years and in that time she had loved all of my pets like they were her own. She’s reliable, very friendly, honest, and such a nice person. Traci has an extensive background in pet care so I trust her to give my dog medications when needed and I trust her to know when my dog is in distress. She listens to what my dogs require as far as feeding instructions and behaviors we are working on. She is great about giving text updates and will send me cute pictures of my dogs that really make me smile. 13/10 would let her care for any and all of my pets
Super friendly family, took amazing care of our Dalmatian puppy! A great help to us when we were in a bind.

I just left my pet care related job of 15 1/2 years. I am now a stay at home mom and I homeschool my children. I’m always ready for a new client 🙂
