Safety, trust & environment

When I’m in your home, my top priority is maintaining your pet’s existing routine to ensure they feel safe and secure while you’re away. For dogs, this means sticking to their familiar walking routes, refreshing water bowls, and ensuring they get plenty of outdoor time and focused attention. For cats, I focus on keeping their environment clean by scooping litter boxes daily and engaging them with their favorite toys on their terms. I’m also highly diligent about home security—I double-check locks, bring in the mail, and always leave your space exactly as I found it. Whether it's administering precise medical doses or offering a reassuring cuddle, I treat your home and your pets with the same level of care and respect I give my own.

Information Tracy N. would like to know about your pet

The Routine • Feeding Instructions: Amount of food, location of bowls, and where the "hidden" treat stash is kept! • Walk/Potty Schedule: Preferred routes, leash/harness location, and how they react to other dogs/squirrels on walks. • The "Litter" Situation: Location of the box, scoop, and disposal bags. Personality Quirks • Hiding Spots: Where does your cat go when they’re "invisible"? • Comfort Items: A favorite toy, a specific blanket, or a "calming" radio station they like. • Triggers: Are they scared of thunderstorms, vacuum cleaners, or the mail carrier? Health & Meds • Medication Schedule: Exact dosages, timing, and your "pro-tip" for administering them (e.g., "hide the pill in a piece of cheese"). • Medical History: Any known allergies, joint issues, or past seizures I should be aware of.

A typical day

Whether I’m hanging out with a high-energy pup or a selective senior cat, I make sure every pet gets their perfect version of "fun." For the dogs, we’ll hit the pavement for brisk walks, play endless rounds of fetch, or work on some brain-teasing puzzle toys to burn off that extra energy. For my feline friends, it’s all about interactive wand play, "hidden treat" scavenger hunts, and finding the best sun-drenched spot for some quality chin scratches. I love tailoring my energy to theirs—so whether it’s a rowdy game of tug or a quiet cuddle session on the sofa, your pets will stay entertained, engaged, and thoroughly pampered!

Pet care experience

I treat every pet like a member of my own family. Having grown up with both dogs and cats, animals have always been a central part of my life. Since college, I’ve specialized in giving rescue cats a loving home, while getting my "dog fix" by pet-sitting for friends and family of all breeds and sizes. I am uniquely qualified to handle pets with extra needs. My previous cat was diabetic, so I am highly comfortable administering insulin shots and oral medications. I’ve also managed medications for various dogs in my care. Beyond the basics, I’ve taken animal communication classes to help me connect with your pets on an intuitive level, ensuring they feel safe and understood. I can't wait to meet your furry companions!

Tracy is the only Rover pet sitter I trust. The others have been less than acceptable. Thank you for always being professional and caring to my kitties. ❤️
