An animal lover (and owner) since early childhood, Tracy Leicher was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She moved to Page County, Virginia in 1998. She has more than 25 years of professional pet sitting experience.
I've "pet sat" cats, dogs, birds, mice, snakes, rabbits, guinea pigs, and occasionally, farm animals.
I'm the kind of person who closes all doors after I enter a home, makes sure all pets are accounted for before I go, and then checks twice to make sure doors are locked when I leave.
I'm a non-smoker, trustworthy, and guarantee client confidentiality.
My philosophy? I don't think pets are on this earth nearly as long as they should be. So their time here should be spent having fun, relaxing and being endlessly spoiled.
Tracy has a regular list of clients in Luray, but occasionally accepts new assignments or clients as her schedule permits.
"The first thing I learned about Tracy was that she is an animal lover! She truly appreciates spending time with our dogs instead of the quick out to potty and back in break. Our dogs took to her pretty quickly as well which she made super simple for them by getting on the floor and letting them come to her at their pace. We were gone a little over a week and our animals were just as happy and healthy as we had left them. We received pictures and videos during our time away which gave us peace of mind but also showed her compassion for the dogs. We will be working with her again when the need arises and I would highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter!"

"Tracy was the best pet sitter we could have ever asked for! As hard it can be to trust someone to come into your home, Tracy makes the process super easy. She worked with Charlotte to help her feel comfortable and trust her during her stay. Tracy was able to accommodate our schedule and provide her services last second. She was always willing to stay at our house longer than expected in order to care for our dog, Charlotte. Tracy is exactly what we were looking for in a pet sitter: reliable, trustworthy, safe, caring, and able to communicate before and after her visit. We definitely will miss Tracy, the funny pictures she sent our Charlotte, and the help she was able to provide to us. We will definitely utilize her services when we visit."

"Tracy took care of our dog, bunny, guinea pig & two cats while we took a vacation. We were at ease from day one with confirmations of her being there to her sharing pics and letting us know how things were going each day! We hope Tracy is available in the future to help us out again!!

"I highly recommend Tracy for pet sitting. She has taken care of our cats a few times now and I trust her completely to give them their medicine and especially to give them the love and attention they expect! It was a nice surprise to come home to the trash can being rolled out to the curb - a chore we hadn't asked her to do but she did anyway."
— M. Williams, Luray
"Tracy is amazing! She took such great care of our puppy while we were at work She sent numerous pictures and videos throughout the day. It made my day to receive pictures of my pup while I could not be with her It was apparent that she loved our puppy and she was going to take amazing care of her. Tracy is quick to answer and is professional! We will be using her again in the future! I highly recommend Tracy for any of your pets needs."

"Tracy did a terrific job taking care of our pet chickens and watching our home and plants while we were away. We were able to relax knowing she was checking on everything. She even sent texts, pictures and videos. HIGHLY recommend. We will be seeking her help again for sure."
— S. Grant, Luray
"I couldn't give a higher rating than the one I would give for Tracy's Pet Sitting! We've used her services for more than 10 years and all our animals, both cats and dogs,have loved her. It is a relief for us to know they are in Tracy's hands. She not only provides for their needs of daily care, she gives each of them her time and attention. Upon our return home from extended trips, they never act like they are longing for attention, it's just another day. I think our pets love Tracy almost as much as they love us! We also appreciate the pictures / videos / regular updates we receive. We know our pets are well taken care of! Additionally Tracy is great about extra things like mail, trash cans, watering plants / the garden, etc. We leave her lists and she never makes us feel that anything is an imposition or too much. On one occassion we had had a family emergency while we were away and could not return home as planned. Tracy made whatever adjustments she needed to, to continue taking care of our pets. We are so glad to have Tracy as our pet sitter!"
