Pet care experience
Expert Care with a Loving Touch
I bring a lifetime of experience in caring for animals and live on 10 acres of wooded pastures with 3 horses, dogs, cats, and a house rabbit. My personal pack of four rescue dogs get along well with any new dog I introduce to the family. I have been fostering dogs for a local rescue organization for several years, gaining hands-on experience with many breeds and ages of dogs. I specialize in puppy care and training and have successfully provided basic training and care for numerous foster dogs. I have experience caring for elderly dogs and am skilled in giving medication and insulin. This is an all inclusive experience for dogs! Here your dog will enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor playtime in my private dog park which offers a peaceful setting away from any traffic noise. This is true farm privacy with a ten acre buffer and plenty of natural enrichment including a natural creek, pond, and wooded pastures. Dogs will have opportunities to participate in activities like sniff walks, barn exploring, and pack walks. For puppies I keep them on a schedule for potty training, socializing, and naps. Additionally, I have a dedicated small dog area and small dogs get to enjoy couch time in the evenings! All activities are included for the boarding price. If you desire an exit bath before your dog goes home please let me know. 🐾 I enjoy working on agility training with one of my dogs who is very athletic and to expand my training knowledge, I continue to work with local dog trainers. Beyond my work with animals, I raised two children and dedicated 18 years to volunteering in our local school district, where I passed multiple background checks and supported various programs and events in schools and classrooms. My property is quiet and away from any traffic yet located just a mile from a major highway making it easy to get to for drop off and pick up!

Ratings and reviews
Wonderful sitter. My dog is my baby and knowing that she was happy, taken care of, and loved, means the most to me. Tracy did a great job with Lily and I look forward to booking with her again in the future.
Thank you for taking care of Leonard.
Tracy took great care of our senior dog Jacques, and watched him attentively & took pictures. We would definitely book with Tracy in the future.
Tracy has a lot of experience and was great with Kuma. She kept us updated and sent pictures of our Kuma. Kuma had a lot of space to run around and play.
Our two Boston terriers had a great time at Tracy’s place! They loved her large outdoor space and playing with other dogs. Tracy is very reliable and knowledgeable, and I can tell our dogs felt comfortable in her care. Tracy was also flexible to extend their stay a day longer when our travel plans changed. Thanks Tracy!
Tracy was excellent with her care. Great prompt communication, photos and flexibility. My pup loved running around in her ample yard and friendly pups. Will book her again.

Schedule
I am home everyday and spend most of my time with the animals in my care. I am happy to be flexible on timing for drop off or pick up windows and can pop in for drop in visits to give you a helping hand.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home pets will be fed twice a day and have off leash time to relax or play with friends. If they are crate trained they will have their own crate to retreat to and dog beds to rest on. My dogs enjoy meeting new friends and provide a comforting pack to show new dogs the ropes. Outside, I always work on name recall with new dogs on leash and when they get to know me they will have supervised off leash time. Additionally, your dog may enjoy a walk to our horse barn and discover a world of sensory enrichment for their nose! In your home I can play with and feed your kitty or your pups and provide any care they need and can feed on the schedule that you request.
Pets
A typical day
At the start of each day your dog will go outside to go potty and then have breakfast. The rest of the day they are given several opportunities to go outside to play and come back in the house at regular intervals. They will have time to try activities such as sniff walks and barn exploration if they choose. When tired, they have their own private space with a blanket to take naps. They will be offered treats or home made dog popsicles on hot days to spoil them a bit…and of course lots of love! On hot summer days I’ll break out the kiddie pool for some water play. Evenings include dinner and time to wind down for the night. In your home I can play with and feed your kitty or your pup and provide any care they need including walking on leash, ball/toy time and time giving special attention.
