Superior & Reliable Care!!!! 😀

Pet care experience

I have been a pet owner since childhood. My personal pets include dogs, cats, love birds, parakeets, a hamsters, guinea pig, bunny, leopard gecko, and bearded dragon. I have fostered guinea pigs, hamsters, bunnies, dogs, and puppies. I have cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, birds, guinea pigs, rats, and even a hedgehog. Outstanding care is my passion. My goal is for all of my furry guests to be excited to see/stay with me and for their parents to be 100% confident about my care!!! I treat each guest like one of the family, maintain any schedules or practices, and only use positive reinforcements. I have been an animal owner since childhood, an animal foster for 3.5 years, and a pet care provider for 2 years. I am currently working on obtaining my trainer license. I firmly believe that all animals deserve superior care and unconditional love. I take pride in what I do and in making sure they enjoy the time we spend together!! I will make sure they are comfortable, get plenty of exercise, stick to any routines, but most of all.......that they feel loved!!!

Tracy was just wonderful with my dog. She obviously loves animals and is very patient with them. Tracy went out of her way to accommodate my schedule during the hectic holidays. She kept me informed on how my dog was doing. Your pet will be in very capable hands & loving care with Tracy. 5 Stars +

Tracy S. is definitely the person you want to hire to care for your animals! Let me tell you why...First, Tracy is extremely responsible & trustworthy so she’ll be on time to care for your pets as scheduled; she’ll follow the special instructions you provide and she’ll ensure your pets healthy & safe while in her care just as she does for her own personal pet family. Second, Tracy is a highly experienced pet care professional who provides full service care ~ from regular walks to playing at the park, from overnight care in the comfort of your home to hosting pet sleepovers in the comfort of her home & everything in between ~ to all members of your pet family ... dogs, cats, bunnies, hampsters, lizards, hedgehogs & more! Finally, Tracy is a truly dedicated pet lover who volunteers her time with a local animal rescue organization & frequently opens her home to foster Mommas & their new puppies who are at risk until furever homes can be secured for all! THIS is the type of person you want caring for your pets when you are unavailable!

Tracy watches our dogs when my wife and I travel. We had two small dogs for many happy years who loved Tracy very much. Those little guys are now back together in doggie heaven. Now we have one very large dog who is super sweet to us but extremely nervous around strangers. Tracy visits with him frequently and one of the few people he is completely comfortable around. We know Tracy loves the pet-members of our family as much as we do and that is why she has our highest recommendation.

Information Tracy S. would like to know about your pet

I pride myself on building relationships and providing outstanding care. Therefore, I would like as much information necessary to meet those goals. I ask about your pets vet and shot records, if your pet knows any commands, or if there is anything I need to work on with your pet. I also like to know if there is any type of schedule? bathroom habits, or if they are allowed on furniture or beds? Does your pup get along with others, favorites (toys, snacks, blankets, etc.), and personality type. Additionally, I want to know about feedings and food type, activity level, and anything else that will make your furry babie most comfortable in my home. I am open to all breeds and ages. I do not consider any specific breed “dangerous”. It’s my belief that a dogs demeanor is based on their environment, family, and training.

A typical day

The activity choices will depend on the weather and the needs of each individual boarder. I realize that just like babies/children many dogs have an established schedule. I will customize an activity schedule that aligns with what is currently in place. Some choices include, walks in the neighborhood and the local park, walks along the river in downtown Naperville, and outside play time in the back. I also take my guests to various dog parks, for car rides, and play dates. I also have a bin filled with a variety of toys. I will keep trying different ones until I find that perfect toy so we can engage in some 1:1 play time, both indoor and out!!!
