I’m Tracie - a Dog Behavioural expert.
I provide a professional, compassionate house sitting experience for your loved ones.
.
If your dog is a sensitive soul, you need someone who truly understands them.
I’m Tracie, a Dog Behaviour and Training Consultant with 15+ years’ experience living with, supporting, and training dogs who don’t fit the “easy” category—rescue dogs, reactive dogs, older dogs, anxious dogs, and those who simply need a deeper level of care.
I provide professional, Behaviour-informed house-sitting across the UK and beyond, keeping dogs in the safety of their own home while ensuring their routines, needs, and comfort are fully safeguarded.
From rescue dogs adjusting to their new lives, to senior dogs needing gentle attention, or reactive dogs who thrive on structure and understanding, I’m here to give your beloved companion the care they deserve.
My job is simple: reduce their stress, support their well-being, and give you absolute peace of mind while you’re away…

UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter
-
At its heart, the UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter™ is a code of conduct, ethics and methodology. More than that however, the Charter is a collaboration of many of the UK’s leading behaviour and training membership organisations who for the first time have come together cooperatively under the Charter umbrella to work in unison for the benefit of dogs, dog owners and guardians, and the wider profession.
In an unregulated industry, dog owners can often struggle to find a suitably accredited professional to help them and their dog. While there are many excellent professionals working nationwide, there are also many who continue to use outdated and aversive methods without any oversight or accountability.
The UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter’s aim is to ensure dog owners that its signatory organisations and their members will adhere to the most modern, scientifically-proven, positive methodology.
