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.

Dog-a-holic

Pet care experience

I have had dogs since I was born. I am familiar with lots of breeds. I have 2 resident dog, 2 cats, and 2 adult children. I have a large, fenced yard; 1.82 acres and am 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 practically all of my life. I have fostered close to 48 different dogs in the last 15 years. My resident dog is very friendly and has 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 1.82 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 Aussie doodle is crated when I am not home.

Very Fast initial and follow up contacts. Friendly and helpful for my first time, made me comfortable leaving my dogs with her, the first time i have ever left them since 2019. Her dogs were friendly and very sweet. When i picked my dogs up the dynamic between our dogs was great. I can finally take vacations :)

Tracy was flexible with our schedule for drop off and pick up. She was very welcoming of our pup and the pup came home exhausted from all the fun she had. 😊
