Avid animal lover and pet parent 🐾

Pet care experience

I've loved animals since I was young and have been living with dogs big and small for the last 20 years. My family consists of my partner of 12 years, Josh , our blue heeler Oakley (8M), red heeler Penny (7F), our feline twins Aeris (9F) and Loki (9M) as well as our oldest Oscar, the snake (~20M). I'm also a gardener, houseplant and aquarium hobbyist. Follow me on Instagram @whiskersnwalkies to follow along with my pets and clients 😊 I am open to working with animals of all ages, sizes and life stages for both drop ins and walks. I also have experience with working dog breeds, rescues am able to assist with training for pulling and reactivity on leash.

Amazing as usual! Tracy is our go to cat sitter. We are lucky to have found her and she gives our cat great company and care when we are away!

Tracey is amazing! Her schedule is flexible, she goes above and beyond when she doesn’t need too and my dogs love her. I can’t express my gratitude enough for her. Thank you Tracey!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every animal as if they were my own. I train using positive reinforcement (clicker training, praise, play and treats as rewards). More often than not, unwanted behaviours can be corrected by better understanding the animal and making changes to address the underlying issues. I love cuddles and kisses from pets of all sorts and sizes and work to build a bond through trust with the animals I care, so I can get to know their personalities and provide them with the most enjoyable experience I can. Consistency and clear boundaries are imperative to help our furry friends do their best so I am committed to ensuring all my clients routines and protocols are followed as requested.

Information Tracy T. would like to know about your pet

Prior to booking a service, we will set up a complimentary meet and greet to ensure that I will be a good for your pet(s). During this meeting we will review your pets' care requirements and coordinate key pick up/drop-off details. Keys can be provided at the meet and greet, or can be dropped off to my residence prior to your booking, alternatively, I can pickup/drop off for an additional fee of ($10/trip). Also please share any specific rules or routines you'd like me to follow; for instance, with my dogs we always stop and sit before crossing any roads to ensure they do not walk into traffic. Additionally what your boundaries are for your pet (allowed treats, on furniture, etc). Additional services offered free of charge during any booking include brushing, watering plants, bringing in mail and rotating of lights for extended absences.

A typical day

I have very active dogs who love to walk, run and play; while my cats are more inclined to sunbathe and birdwatch from a bay window adjacent to our bird bath and feeder. All my pets are trained and trusted to be off-leash and are great with recall (yes, my cats too). Lastly, as a pet parent and photographer, you can expect quality, share-worthy photos and video updates with your pet.

Availability

I decided to make a career switch to allow me to work remotely and spend as much time as possible with my pets and have been completing an advanced design degree online. Currently I have returned to my studies full-time and have very limited availability. Unfortunately at this time, I'm unable to take on new clients or offer regularly scheduled dog walking at this time. Please check my calendar for availability if you're needing drop-in services for cats. For existing customers, please message me if you're trying to book. I will have greater availability/flexibility May- August and will follow up with past clients for first priority booking prior to reopening my books to the public.
