Fetching Pet Care

Pet care experience

I will treat your dog with the same loving care that I provide for my own. I have been a dog owner and lover for the better part of my adult life and there is no other joy than the love I get from a dog. My friends have been telling me for years that should they die and come back as a dog they want to be my dog! I have a large fenced yard and as long as your dog is not a fence jumper or climber there should be no issues, my fence is very secure. My promise to you is peace of mind knowing your dog is in good caring hands with me. I wanted to be a dog sitter because I enjoy the company of dogs. I enjoy taking them for walks, going to the park and playing games with them. My dog enjoys the company of other dogs as well and as long as your dog is dog friendly they both will benefit from the socialization it would provide for her to be part of the dog sitting experience. I have owned and cared for dogs for nearly 20 years, including puppies, seniors and special needs dogs. As far as your dogs care, I am, at this time, home full time during the week to care for your pet full time when they are in my home. For drop ins, I will spend the 30 minutes with your dog, providing potty breaks, feeding etc. I do have a crate, a fully fenced back yard and can separate into rooms if needed. I will not host dogs that are dog or cat aggressive, that is not breed specific, I am open to all breeds as long as they do well with other pets.

My dog loves Tracy! He runs to the door before I can even get there.

Incredible! Chaco had an absolute blast with Tracy and her family and was very well taken care of. The only issue I had was with myself not packing him enough food! But Tracy contacted me and had absolutely no problem going out of her way to grab him food and make sure he was well fed and happy. Will most certainly be back next time I need some dog sitting.

We were very disappointed in our dogs’ stay with Tracey. We had high expectations because of the 5 star rating and all the wonderful reviews. Unfortunately, even as we were dropping our pups off, we started to feel uneasy as the house is very tiny with no space and she was having 7 dogs total. The dogs were kept either in the backyard where there were water bowls full of dibree and mud, and even pieces of the house broken off all over the lawn for the dogs to get injured on. Tracey mentioned dogs in the past have gotten out of her fencing and ran off, which made us feel like our dogs weren’t safe there. When we picked our dogs up, one of them was missing a collar, which we eventually found, completely broken and chewed up, and one of their food bowls had been torn up. She did tell us the bowl was left in the kennel with them, and unfortunately we know they were left in the kennel for long periods of time because that’s the only time our dogs will chew anything up. We hate to leave this review because Tracey is a complete sweetheart but we would never recommend anyone’s dogs to stay here and felt people should know that. This was our first and only time using Rover and because of this experience, we won’t ever trust a stranger with our dogs again.

Any tendencies of aggression, special needs such as medications

A typical day

Walks around the neighborhoods, I usually go for a couple of miles with my own dog. If the owner approves, the dog park is a good place to expel energy by playing with other dogs and chasing a ball. I have a long range ball thrower if they like to play ball and I only buy balls for dog use so they are safe. Waling dogs I prefer a harness for security.
