Pet care experience
I have had dogs since I was born. I am familiar with lots of breeds. I have 3 resident dogs, 3 cats, and 2 adult children. I have a large, fenced yard; 1.86 acres and are located near two dog parks and an awesome bike path. I have experience with fish, lizards, guinea pigs and hamsters as well. I am also a smoke-free household. About this sitter: I have had dogs all of my life. I have fostered close to 48 different dogs in the last 10 years. Our 3 resident dogs are very friendly and have gotten along with all of our guests. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs ALL of my life. I have fostered for several rescue groups, as well. I have experience with several different breeds and have extensive knowledge of almost all AKC breeds. About my yard I have 1.86 acres about half of which is fenced. I am close to 2 fenced dog parks that I frequent for more off-leash play and go for walks on the bike path. My experience administering medication I can administer oral, topical and injectable medications. I currently work full-time, 8 am - 4:30 pm. I’m almost always home the rest of my time off. I have plenty of evening time for playing and snuggles. I have 3 house cats that will keep your pup company during the day. My bigger dogs are not free range while I’m at work.
Reviews
Tracy is the BEST! My dog always has the best time and meets so many new furry friends.
Amazing lady and absolutely beautiful dogs of her own! I think she may have washed my dog or rinsed him or something without telling me because he smelled odorless (never happens). She really goes above and beyond and has a large yard.
Tracy is the most thoughtful dogsitter, she kept me posted with photos and videos of my pup. My dog came home smiling from all of the fun she had with Tracy and her sweet dog.
Odin had a great time. There’s a huge fenced in yard and other dogs for him to play with, which is not something he gets to do very often. Stress free booking and great communication. She sent videos, which made us feel better about leaving him for a few days. Definitely will let Odin stay there again.

I have a large fenced yard. I do frequent the bike path for long walks. If your pup is crated at home during the day & at night, then I’ll do the same. Please bring their crate, favorite blanket &/or toy & their food. Please let me know if they have any allergies or quirky behaviors I should be aware of.

Information Tracy S. would like to know about your pet
I just need to know if the dogs I am babysitting are dog and cat friendly. Also, I like to know their schedule, so I can try to keep things as normal as possible for our visitors and if they have any quirky traits.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks Most of the time, I walk the dogs on the bike path. It is 26 miles long, so we can get worn out. There are 2 fenced dog parks as well for socializing and playing. Plus I have an over abundance of dog toys for chewing, fetching and playing. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever you want your dog to sleep. I have lots of fleece blankets and dog beds in the living room and my bedroom. There is no shortage of dog comforts in my house. Time I'll spend with your dog I will spend as much time as possible with my charges. I can schedule morning exercise if necessary, but most play and exercise will take place after 5:30 p.m.

Availability
I work full time. I get up at 6 am, let pups out for potty & stretching.they come back in for breakfast around 6:30. After I get ready for work, the pups go out again for any last minute potty breaks. I leave for work between 7:30 & 7:40. I am almost always home by 4:50 pm & am rarely gone for more than 2 hours at a time on my days off. Once I’m home, the pups go out as often as they want.
