Tracy can care for
Availability
After retiring from a 25-year career with IBM, I’ve combined my love of animals and the outdoors into something I truly enjoy — pet sitting, dog walking, and pet transport. With 8 years of professional pet care experience and over 50 years of personal experience with dogs and cats, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’m dependable, punctual, and treat every animal as if they were my own. When I’m not caring for pets, you’ll find me out hiking and exploring nature.

About Tracy D.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I primarily care for pets in their home, as I have a cat of my own who is particular about her space. I also offer dog walking, feeding, one on one play. I provide pet transport and have a dependable, safe car for any travel needs. I’m reliable, punctual, and treat every animal as if they were my own.
Information Tracy D. would like to know about your pet
It’s important to know how a dog is on a leash. Does s/he know the heel command? Is the dog rewarded with pets or treats? Do they allow me to pet top of head or to be picked up? What are some stressors or triggers? Do they take medications or vitamins?
A typical day
Cats: playing with toys and lasers. Scratches behind ears and side of face. Dogs: Walks around the neighborhood. Playing fetch in fenced in yard or at a dog park. Tug of war.

Reviews
Tracy took amazing care of my cats. I highly recommend her!
I can't recommend Tracy enough! We haven't left our 11 year old dog with a sitter for at least 5 years, and were nervous he would be stressed out and have no fun while we were gone. Tracy was absolutely fabulous with him and gave him the VIP treatment that he doesn't normally get when he's home with his family! She took him on so many walks, gave him lots of treats, and truly got to know him and love him. Our home was spotless when we returned, as well, which was such a gift. I think he misses Tracy already and we will have to keep them connected!
Stellar care! Tracy does a wonderful job with our kitties - we have only positive things to say.
Fantastic as always! Did such a wonderful job with our kitties, absolutely will book again! Thank you!
