Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable Dog sitter/walker Guelph
I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life and currently share my home with two wonderful rescue dogs, Otto and Snoopy, who have taught me even more about patience, trust, and unconditional love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, reinforcing routines, providing enrichment, and making sure every visit is tailored to your dog’s individual needs. Safety, communication, and reliability are my top priorities, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My promise is simple: every dog I care for will be treated like family, every single visit.

Ratings and reviews
Tracy was absolutely amazing! This was our first time having someone stay in our home to care for our dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person. From her incredible care and regular updates to the way she treated our home, everything was beyond what we could have hoped for. She went above and beyond! Tracy is such a lovely, caring person, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pet and home. We will definitely be asking her to stay again! ❤️
ABOVE & BEYOND! We booked Tracy through the Rover app to look after our dog Ellie, and she truly went above and beyond. Tracy took such wonderful care of our sweet girl—she took her on multiple walks, fed her dinner exactly as requested, and carefully followed all the instructions we left. She also sent us regular photo updates so we could see how Ellie was doing throughout the day. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such good hands. Tracy was reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!
Tracy was wonderful from the moment she came to our home for a meet-and-greet with our two pups. She sat on the floor and played with them while we chatted, and they immediately became comfortable with her. While we were away for a few days, she maintained good communication and frequently sent us some pictures and videos; our fur babies got lots of attention and snuggles! One of our dogs is extremely anxious during thunderstorms, and Tracy ensured that she got her anxiety medication, and went above and beyond to help calm her. This was our first time using Rover, and our dogs who are 8 and 11 had never been watched by anyone other than family members, so we were a bit nervous to have a complete stranger stay in our home and care for our pets. We couldn’t have asked for a better person; Tracy is warm, caring, trustworthy, dependable, and we will definitely be using her services again. It was nice to be able to enjoy some time away and know that our fur babies were being well taken care of. Thank you Tracy!
Tracy is absolutely wonderful. Our girls loved her, and she loved them. Sent us photos and videos of our babies of all the fun they were having together, and the cuddles too. Ellie who gets anxiety had no issues with it while we were away. Macy who is very shy with everyone just loved Tracy. Tracy hand fed Macy when she was trying to go on a hunger strike the 1st night. Annabel enjoyed walking and just hanging around outside like an old lady does. Our house was exactly the way we left it with a the addition of a glass of wildflowers on our island. Tracy is awesome. Never distracted with worry, during our our family time away.
Tracy is an incredible human being who loves and cares deeply about every dog she meets. She is SO kind and I've seen first hand with her own dogs that she will do everything in her power to make sure they are safe, happy and healthy. Tracy is a warm, loving woman who will care for your dog as if they were her own and I highly recommend her to anyone what wants their dog cared for and well loved!
My mom is the biggest dog and animal lover I know. She loves every pet as if it were part of our family. Everywhere we go, she’s the one stopping to say hello to dogs and asking if she can pet them. If we drive past farm animals, she’ll often pull over just to say hi. She even says a quiet prayer whenever she sees an animal that has been lost on the road. She has two beautiful rescue dogs of her own, and they are treated with endless love, patience, and kindness. Animals naturally trust her because they can feel how much she truly cares. I honestly can’t think of anyone better to care for your pet than my mom. She loves every one of God’s creatures as if they were her own—including yours. If you choose her to care for your pet, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they will be loved, protected, and treated like family every single visit.

Hi, I’m Tracy! Dogs have always been one of the greatest joys in my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. As the proud owner of two wonderful rescue dogs, Otto and Snoopy, I understand that every dog is unique, with their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make every walk a safe, enjoyable, and enriching experience while giving you complete peace of mind. Whether your dog loves energetic adventures, leisurely neighbourhood strolls, or simply spending time with someone who truly enjoys their company, I’ll tailor each visit to meet their individual needs. I treat every dog with the same patience, kindness, and respect that I give my own. When your dog is in my care, you can expect dependable service, clear communication, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, reinforce your dog’s normal routine, ensure they have fresh water after their walk, and send you photo updates and a detailed Rover Card so you always know how their visit went. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m committed to providing exceptional care from day one and earning your trust through reliability, professionalism, and genuine compassion. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I proudly serve Guelph and the surrounding area, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member. Whether you’re looking for regular weekday walks or occasional help when life gets busy, you can count on me to care for your dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you—and treating every dog like family, one walk at a time.
