Hi, my name is Tracey. My previous job of 29 years was caring for young people in a residential setting. To do that job you need to have resilience, patience and most importantly a genuinely caring nature. I love the fact that I can transfer those skills to looking after animals big or small. I've owned dogs and cats all my life so have a genuine undersyanding of their needs. I also look after numerous friends beloved dogs when they go away on holidays as they know I treat every pet as if it were my own.
