Group Walk
Group walks provide socialization opportunities for dogs in a monitored environment. Our trained staff supervises small groups of four dogs maximum, allowing pets to develop pack bonds while receiving individual attention. This service benefits dogs needing exercise and companionship, with real-time GPS tracking and post-walk reports for owners.
Solo Walk
Solo walks deliver focused attention for dogs requiring specialized care. This service suits elderly pets, reactive dogs, or those needing individualized exercise routines. Our caregivers adapt pacing and route selection to each dog's physical capabilities while maintaining safety protocols throughout the 30-60 minute sessions.

We love Tracy's dogwalking. Let's admit it, our dogs are our children and you wouldn't leave your baby with just anyone !! Trac's team loves him like he was one of theirs. Tracy and her team are beyond loving, professional and reliable. My dog, Seamus, sits by the window waiting for them to come. He is spolied for every holiday with toys and treats. I don't know what I would do without them.

Tracey is a hands on person. She is full of info and tips. Being so familiar with all different breeds of dogs, she is very helpful and reassuring with any issues you might have concerning your dog. She and her walkers are timely and friendly. My dog is always excited when picked up to go for a walk. I highly recommend her services!

Tracey's Dog Walking & Sitting is great! Our dog is tired and happy after a walk; the variety of dogs he meets and places he goes keep him mentally stimulated and socialized and the communication from Tracey's is wonderful - we know pick up and drop off times, what he did on his walk and see photos. We trust the team at Tracey's with our little guy.

Tracey is like one of the family, shes always there when you need her even last minute. She takes such great care of our dog and he loves her so much. If we play our dog one of her videos he gets so excited hes running around howling looking for her. Our dog couldnt be in better hands. SHES THE BEST.

Review for communication not the service provided. I want to be upfront and say this service seems great based on reviews which I why I contacted them. I got responses immediately and was super excited. I consider my dog no lesser than my own child and finding someone you can trust is very difficult.
Based on the email responses I received and again the reviews I was happy to have finally found someone that would care for my pet well. I was suddenly ghosted and I followed up a couple of times, no response. I have received responses from other dog walking services saying they are full or have

Tracey and her team are awesome. When she visited my home, she was friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and clearly has a love for dogs. My puppy is definitely happy and exercised when we return home. My only complaint, is occasionally they arrive at different times then originally scheduled. Other than that, I recommend Tracey's dog walking and will continue to use them.
