Pet care experience
ABOUT ME After some time away... I am back in Lakeland :0) My story- I have been handling and training dogs for decades. It's my passion, my life! Training includes, therapy, confirmation, specialize in puppy wellness, puppy midwife, and my dogs have been cast in TV ads and movies! I also own a ragdoll cat whom we all adore!!! I have a triple clear back ground check for your reassurance! Rover , 'GoodHire' & CheckR (Thumbtack) I am a former business professional who is now partially retired which allows me to conduct overnight house/dog/cat sitting in your home. I had my own personal challenges during my career trying to find a house/dog sitter when I was away on business. This is where I can honestly say, I have been in your shoes when in search of a reliable, honest pet nanny or house sitter. I welcome as many instructions you wish to leave, I will follow them to your specifications. Also, sending you pictures of your pet via text is a nice reassurance to a good visit! *Contact me for a Meet and Greet prior to booking. OVERNIGHT HOUSE SITTING The hours of your overnight are based on your dog's / cat's needs usually 9pm to 7 am. Negotiable. I am a light sleeper, will get up as often through out the night if needed. DROP IN VISITS When you are in need of drop in visits, I will be sure your dog has the appropriate time for their *potty break, *check and change water bowls, *sit, *pet, *play and take time as needed to earn their trust. DOG WALKING If they (you) prefer dog walking, it would be in your own neighborhood, near a park, lake, etc.... I have handled very small dogs to 120 lb on leads, chokes, gentle leaders, and harness. Open to options always. SPECIALTY I am familiar with all pure bred dogs and mixed breeds. I have spent the last 20 years attending dog shows with The American Kennel Club. Training, handling and finishing several Champions. Also have trained and earned certifications of Therapy Dog and Canine Good Citizen. HEALTH KNOWLEDGE Tending to my own dogs/cats and birds as well as client dogs. I have vast knowledge in health issues. I've had the privilege of visiting the University of Cornell in NY, Animal Clinic Northview in Cleveland and all of my veterinarians know I take caring for my pets seriously. Sometimes standing in on my own pets surgeries, Xrays, blood draw, etc. RESCUE VOLUNTEER SINCE 2003 When volunteering for rescue, I have had many dogs with special needs mentally and physically, who successfully were adopted into great homes. I donate a portion of my Rover fee to a rescue. I love a happy ending......
Reviews
She was amazing! She took wonderful care of my baby and went above and beyond to make sure both Myrtle and I had a great experience. Very quick to respond.
Tracy was great with Brody, I loved the updates and pictures! I will continue to use Tracy for my dog walking!
Thank you for taking such great care of our little girls! What a relief to be able to go out of town and know that a dog lover like you would be caring for our pets. We appreciate your punctuality and professionalism. The pictures let us know that the dogs were on their regular routine and being taken care of. Thanks for all of the communication and updates! Great job Tracy!
Having three cats and two dogs, has been the reason we do not go out of town together as a family. However, we booked a family vacation and I was forced to figure out a solution for our pets. We do not want to ask friends or family to take on this task because it’s time consuming and not safe for them or our pets. Our dogs could easily make my mom trip when they run around and we have a kitten who wants to dart out the door if given the slightest chance. From the first conversation with Tracy, I felt at ease and confident we could leave our pets in her hands and she proved that to be true. I am grateful we found Tracy, and as an experienced and trustworthy pet sitter, we can have more getaways and know our fur kids are being very well taken care of. Thank you Tracy! ?

Talking! Animals don't always understand us humans, but they try! I love to talk to the animals, and get a nice reaction from them. They love it! I am recorded on video or Alexa day in and out. Your home is not mine. I respect your home and pets ALWAYS! I MYSELF, have Nanny cams due to duped dog sitters acting careless and frankly, I am so tired of it. Money is never an issue when I need a GREAT dog/cat sitter. I hope you agree with me! If you do .... contact me with your needs. I am here for you as a professional.
