Information Tracy S. would like to know about your pet

Aggression is always a big concern. I need to know if your dog has any triggers that I should avoid. Please let me know if you are aware of any resource guarding, especially around toys and food. I like dogs to accept crate time calmly and quietly. Every pet is crated during afternoon siesta and through the night. I also feed the dogs in their crates, and I use crates when I give new clients a tour.

A typical day

I use wooded trails across the street from my house. My yard is one acre fenced for free movement and play. I may also walk the streets of the neighborhood. Dogs are all different and like different things. I believe variety is important.

Pets

Pets get lonely. They need us.

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs, cats, horses and birds. I believe pets are good for us. I want people to understand that our animal friends need attention during the work day. People are often away for 8-10 hours. That’s too long for cats and dogs. They may become very anxious or bored and mischievous. They may even develop nervous habits that harm themselves or your home. I am happy to offer my services so your pets have the best life possible. I will offer love, engaging activity, training and exercise. You will be able to relax after work instead of rushing out the door to the dog park. Consider the quality of life that a reliable pet care professional can offer. You need to relax too.

Tracy is amazing!! Her property is so wonderful and welcoming to dogs, and she clearly loves animals and knows exactly how to handle them. My golden retriever loves going to her place and comes home tired, happy and well-behaved. Absolutely recommend.

Chai seemed to have had a great time, and actually came home better behaved. Tracy is very knowledgeable about dogs and her boarding service is to be recommended.

Tracy provided excellent care for my Berniedoodle, Bear, during the two weeks I was away. She demonstrated exceptional patience and attentiveness, ensuring Bear's needs were met through walks, belly rubs, feeding him meals, and fostering plenty of playtime. Tracy's genuine love for animals was evident in the silly pictures and video she sent me, capturing Bear's snuggles and smiles.
