Here to spoil your animals for you!
Pet care experience
I absolutely adore dogs and have always had them in my life. After suddenly losing my dog due to cancer a few months ago, I realized I am not ready for another dog yet but have a lot of love to give to everyone else's animals! My life has been filled with cats and dogs and this is the first time I haven't had my own in years. I grew up with dogs and cats and am also the defacto pet watcher in my friend group! I’ve worked with training my dogs in the basics and providing medicine and care for most minor things. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, having raised puppies and having senior adopted dogs as well. I work from home and have the ability to spoil your animal during the work day with short walks or just potty breaks in the yard! When I'm not caring for my friend's animals, I'm usually at a brewery or volunteering with LifeLine Animal Shelter walking and caring for dogs there. So basically, most days revolve around animals! I’m happy to take care of your four (or 3 - who knows) legged family members! Taking on walks, playing, and providing words of affirmation. I'll do everything in my power to make you comfortable with me around your dogs/cats and send plenty of photos!

Tracy is the best!!!! She takes phenomenal care of my dog Flossy and I know Flossy enjoys her time with Tracy. Tracy is very communicative, sending informative pictures daily of my dog, and is also very easy to organize pick up and drop up with. She keeps me updated on how my dog is and what she’s doing! Tracy pays close attention to particular care instruction I have for my dog and she even aided fantastically in administrating medicine and helping my dog wear a cone during a stay once. My dog also is able to sleep, play, and enjoy herself in Tracy’s care and comes back to me happy and healthy. I can always relax on my travels with my dog in Tracy’s care. She’s easy going, understanding, and intentional and thoughtful in her dog watching. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!
My dogs had a great time !!!! Tracy was the best . She sent me multiple pictures and treated my dogs like her own !
Kind caring dog sitter, you will not have to worry if you leave your pet with Tracey.
Our Pit and Frenchie, Messi and Eva stayed with Tracy for 4 full nights, and for us we could have not picked a better sitter. Tracy from second one gave them so much loved, she clearly loves dogs and gives them so much love. She kept us updated with everything and sent lots of videos and photos during their stay. You can tell that she enjoyed and shared a lot with them because she was able to describe the personality of each of our babies perfectly. we will definitely look for her again when we have our next trip. @

I am in a home that is the ultimate pet friendly house. Pets are allowed on the furniture and I have (3) dog beds + (2) Crates (1 XL, 1 LG) if your pup is more comfortable with a crate. I'm also fine with leaving dogs out whenever I'm home and do my best to only leave for 2 hours on evenings where I care for dogs. I have a fenced in back yard, but some of the areas are older than others which I'm working on triple reinforcing. Just good to know if your dog is one that loves to investigate so I make sure to keep a better eye on them. As mentioned, there are dog beds, extra bowls, and toys that I wash between dog-sitting visitors and usually have a stash of treats too.

Information Tracy B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know any details for your dog that might be important! If you're able to provide information on when they eat, medications, anxiety triggers like thunder, if they're allowed human food, habits you're working on that you'd want help reinforcing (not begging or jumping), all the good stuff! The more information the better - favorite toys or places for scratches (or places not to pet!) are a bonus too. I'm not anxious around dogs and am happy with any breed (bring me all your blockhead pitties!).
A typical day
Whatever you know your pets love! I'm down for a solid walk and a park with a ball or lounging on the couch watching TV. When I had Emma, we would go on neighborhood walks and end up at the small park near my house watching the ducks. She hated those ducks... Otherwise, I spend the day working taking a few short breaks to check in on animals or randomly clean.

I work from home and am able to care for you animal whenever you need! I'm very communicative and would let you know if a time frame wouldn't fit within my schedule and offer solutions. Otherwise, I try to stay on top of blocking my schedule with personal events and other dogs/cats I'm caring for.
