Boarding with fenced yard
Pet care experience
Besides years of experience owning dogs of my own I also have experience working for beyond K9, a successful dog trainer in the DFW area. I currently live in Citrus Heights. My husband and I have two rescue dogs we love dearly. "As long as the dogs are happy...." is pretty much our household motto! Note on housesitting request: I do work a job doing the week. Sometimes there is a small chance I might be stuck at work for a few hours. If there is any chance of that, my husband Richard, who also does some Rover sitting is available for standby so there is no chance your dogs will go more than a few hours without a check-in. You can see him in the photo with myself and Indy, my lab/shepherd mix Although this is not likely, I will sometimes ask to include him in the Meetup, just in case. Dog walks or Check-ins: I can provide some basic leash training on request. I will also share updates and photos of your dog and, the activities we do. In-Home Boarding: I offer in-home boarding for up to 2 dogs at a time. The yard is fenced all the way around. There are two areas with a sturdy fence and gate in between that allows for the separation of dogs if needed. We have two dog and human-friendly rescues, Jake and Maple. The home is a 4-bedroom home and dogs are welcome to the living areas and an extra bedroom for the dogs if they want their own room. I also do pet photography! This includes volunteer photography of adoption photos at the Pet Network Humane Society in Incline Village. I included a few photos from photography sessions in my profile here.
Reviews
Tracy did so great with our boys! I’m always hesitant to leave them with new people. But she adapted well to their needs. I could tell they were happy and comfortable with her from the get go. There was also great communication the entire time, which was really great during our trip. Thank you again Tracy!
Tracy and Richard were great! Nico only spent a few days with them, but they provided plenty of updates and pictures. He went on walks with them every day. They let me know when he was anxious due to fireworks and moved his bed into the kitchen where he felt more comfortable. I will definitely book in the future if we need boarding for Nico again.
Tracy was a great sitter for my dog while we were away for a few days! I received daily updates and pictures from Tracy that helped ease my mind while we were gone. My pup got daily walks and play time with some of the other dogs in the house and was exhausted when we got him back home. She was great and I would definitely recommend her services.
Tracy is a great sitter. Dogs love her and she is very dependable. Always checks to make sure we will be home when expected so the doggies are care for.

I attempt to keep the routine of the owner that is discussed during the meet-up as much as possible. If there are multiple pets or specific instructions, I will ask for the owner to leave out a write-up as well so nothing gets overlooked.

Information Tracy C. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences. I would like to talk with the owner about these things Diet and health history How the dog interacts with other dogs and strangers. If the dog resource guards food, toys or territory. Personality and play preferences. Any other concerns or important information they may come up based on the conversation.
A typical day
This depends on the dog and what the owner would prefer. I would prefer to talk with the owner first to find out what types of play is appropriate and preferred by the dog, what motivates the dog, and anything that should be avoided. For an active dog we can play, walk or run depending on the area and what the dogs likes to do. I can also do leash and obedience training sessions with dogs on request.

Availability
Although I do have a good amount of flexibility in my job. I currently limit my drop-ins to the weekends and evenings and holidays. I am very flexible for what is needed during those times.
