Tracy is a vital part of keeping my family happy and healthy. She walks Lana, my autistic child's dog- 2 times/ day... if I need her a third time because of work or if my son is sick or for any reason, she's there if at all able.. Lana gets full 30 minute walks, Tracy runs her, watches her overall health/ stool/ weight. Tracy has also helped us through GI CRISIS! She has an invested personal interest in animals and is very very knowledgeable about holistic methods of treating animals. I'm sure I've saved up to $1 K in vet bills by trying Tracy's recommendations, or the recipes she has made herself for Lana's sensitive tummy. I get pictures of Lana playing and having fun on walks. There's nothing better than having NO worries about your animal who's home alone. and, its even better to arrive home to a dog who is well exercised, happy, and just ready to see you. Lana got a stuffed heart for Valentine's day, a green rope that mimicks her favorite toy that she tore up, and a tire toy with little bones on it with a rope attached. Tracy knows what she likes, needs, and is aware of subtle or big changes in Lana... when my mind may be too occupied with work or my son to notice. I could write a book. My happy healthy fit, well exercised dog is in good condition daily to love my son. That's the most important part. I had tried 1 service before.. it was business, it was double the price, and it was half the time spent. It was out of necessity when I had the flu, but it was a polar opposite experience. Last, I trust Tracy 100%. She has a key, is respectful of space, time.. she walks Lana set times and cleans her up after walks and fills her water bowl. I may be asleep on my day off, Tracy is quiet yet lets herself be known. Or, I may bombard Tracy:) with questions about dog issues, etc. Though I don't abuse it and I appreciate it- she's up for the task because she loves animals. Try it..just once (if you can get on her schedule). If you get on her schedule, don't be stupid enough to get off! It's better than gold. I'll never go back (unless I buy 20 acres)... lol, sorry Tracy. You could still consult in place of the vet!

I will only call Tracey when I need someone to watch my babies while I am away on trips. She treats them so well. While Tracey is sitting with them, their daily routine does miss a beat. She is the best sitter I have ever had. My babies just adore her and she very much seems to enjoy spending time with them. I do not have to worry about my house or anything in it. I highly recommend Tracey to care for your babies. They will receive the greatest care while you are away. I watch Tracey when she arrives to my house and her face lights up and tails start wagging and the dogs start kissing her. I am not sure who is more excited between the dogs, the cats or Tracey. If you have any questions, feel free to email me : hoghead1@windstream.net Again, I highly recommend Tracey to are for your pets.

Tracey is ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!! We travel for business trips all the time and she is the one that cares for our 3 dogs, 2 cats and our guinea pig. She also cares for them when we are on vacation. We can enjoy our trips and vacation knowing Tracey is caring for all of our babies. We do not worry about anything at the house. Tracey has been caring for our babies for almost 5 years. We seem to keep adding family members and Tracey does not seem to mind our increasing numbers. She is a pro and can take care of all of them and show each one individual treatment. She treats them as if they are members of her own family. I cannot say enough good things about Tracey. She even got all of them a gift for Christmas and it was so sweet of her. I highly recommend her to care for your family members. She loves her job and it shows because when we return, our dogs, cats and guinea pig are themselves and not stressed out at all.

I don't know what I'd do without Tracey to take care of our dogs and cat. She does a wonderful job and our pets are always thrilled to see her. I have only good things to say about her. She is reliable, trustworthy and the best care possible for your animal family member.

Pet Sitting, Dog Walking and Potty Breaks. Most of all making sure I keep the pets daily routine as normal as possible when owners have to stay late at work, go on business trips and especially when taking a vacation.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I am dog walking a 3 month old Labradoodle. The owner has not had a puppy for over 12 years. I am helping her train and have patience with him so she will have a well mannered and social dog so she will be able to take him to all kinds of places and events.
