Safety, trust & environment

I moved recently to a smaller place. My condo does not have. A fenced in yard but does have outdoor space for potty breaks and walks. I work from home so I’m able to provide as much companionship and care as a pet wants if they are boarding at my house. Similarly, since I work remotely and manage my own schedule, I’m flexible with when and how often I can go to a pet’s home to walk them or stay and keep them company.

Information Tracy G. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know your dog’s usual routine- what time they usually get up, are fed, go out, and get exercise so that I can try to keep to their familiar schedule. If your dog has any special needs, or anxieties please let me know and tell me how I can best make your pet comfortable. It’s also important to know if your dog is friendly with other animals and people or if they are shy.

A typical day

I love walks and being outside so having a canine companion to do that with makes my day. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to play ball and a wading pool in the summer for dogs who like to go for a dip. I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood with plenty of parks and some favorite hiking trails nearby. Aside from the outdoor activities any doggy who stays with me can also expect lots of snuggles.

Pets

Nurturing animals is my nature.

Pet care experience

I grew up with animals. My love affair with pets began with my parent’s cranky elderly cat, Breffy, whom I desperately wanted to like me. Despite my persistence, she did not. However, I did convince my parents to get me my own kitten for my 5th birthday and have had pets ever since. In addition to the usual cats, dogs, fish and rabbits, I also helped to care for orphaned and injured wild life like squirrels, crows, starlings, raccoons, turtles, skunks and many others. I don’t shy away from administering medication or assisting disabled animals, in fact, I love being able to help all animals in need. When I was in my 20s I started pet sitting for family and friends and found it to be the best “job” I’ve ever had.

Tracy is great! She has dropped in on our two cats multiple times and is great at following instructions, checking for changes in their routines, and providing great pictures and updates to keep us connected while we're gone. She clearly likes spending time with the animals and cares about making them comfortable and happy.
