Highlights
Pet care experience
Part-time Montessori “FurTime” dogs
I have one dog and one cat that tend to stay upstairs. I absolutely love animals, So I hope to have my own little hobby farm one day. If your pet is in my home, please know they’ll always feel loved, safe and most likely tired out from all out walks. I believe humans and animals benefit from exercise which helps with behavior, same for humans. So bring your pup to me, and they’ll be tired for you:) Also, I have a special place in my heart for special-needs animals that need a little extra love and patience.

Ratings and reviews
My partner and I moved to the area about a year ago, and Tracy’s house has become a fun, comfortable, safe, and reliable second home for our baby, Sam. Now, whenever we mention Tracys name, his ears perk up and he gets excited because he knows he’s going to a safe space to see his friends, play, and relax! Tracy isn’t just an ordinary pet sitter, she’s a caring fur mom who is loving, gentle, and incredibly attentive to your furry children. She regularly takes the dogs to the local dog park, where they get to play, socialize, and have a great time while getting the exercise they need to release those zoomies! We couldn’t be happier knowing that Sam is in such loving, caring, and trustworthy hands. Tracy has truly become a second home for him, and we’re so grateful to have found her!
Tracy is just a wonderful person, and has such a huge heart for animals! She loves our Nova girl so much whenever we drop her off, and Nova is SO excited she gets to play there and hang out! She always comes back exhausted from playing, and I love the pictures I get of her playing or relaxing when she’s away from home. Tracy is someone I would recommend in a heart beat! No a can’t wait till she gets to see Tracy next!
I work with Tracy, and I had been telling her about how incredibly scared Laddie was at the kennel and how awful I felt about leaving him there. He had completely shut down, and it honestly broke my heart. Tracy immediately started begging me to let her go get them. I really wanted to say yes, but I was terrified that Laddie might bite her out of fear or that Tucker, who is dog-aggressive, might go after her dogs. Tracy told me she would come to my house three times a day and take care of them herself. Reluctantly, I finally said, “Go bust them out!” The next thing I knew, I got a picture of Tracy sitting in the car with my two little jailbirds, both looking absolutely thrilled to be out! I couldn’t believe it. More than anything, I couldn’t believe that Laddie had willingly gone with her, especially considering how frightened and shut down he had already been. Well, all I can say is that Tracy is now officially “Momma Tracy.” My dogs absolutely adore her. They actually get excited when they see me packing my bags because they know it means Momma Tracy is coming. At this point, I’m pretty sure they would happily pack their own bags, leave me, and move in with her if they could!
Tracy is always my Aggy Mae’s first choice for dog sitting! She is basically an extended family member at this point. She doesn’t just keep dogs at her house while you’re away, she showers them with attention and keeps them engaged playing and hiking and will send you as many pics and update as you want! There’s no other dog sitter I’ve had that treats all her animals and those she cares for, so well.
Tracy has taken care of our dog Harley multiple times now and she’s been fantastic with her. Our dog is not a super social dog but around whatever dogs Tracy has she’s always set her boundaries and done very well following her visits. Tracy sets her boundaries and treats dogs based on their behavior and very good and introducing dogs together and setting a warming and comfortable environment. We love having Tracy as our dog sitter

Schedule
I have been doing dog-watching for the past four years, in addition to working part-time for 10 years. I work at a school right down the road, which is perfect for dog watching. I leave at 7am, and I’m back by 11am each day. I do boarding, play dates, pickups, drop-ins, and trips to the dog park.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced-in yard, so your dog may play, run, or simply get some fresh air. I spend my time walking dogs, feeding them, playing, cuddling, kisses, relaxing on the porch and constantly opening and closing the door so they can go outside. Ha! It’s my life, and I truly love it.
