Mandy
I was a 5-1/2 year old chubby couch potato. My mommy couldn't take me for long walks or give me the exercise I needed. She loved me - but too much. She gave me lots of treats when she went on errands or when we sat together watching TV. The she read about Jersey Devil in the Sunday newspaper. I WAS SAVED!! We met Traci and soon I was playing with all of my new friends. I now run and bark and even go in the wading pools on hot days. There is always lots to do with Traci, and we have so much fun. The best part is that I got my slim figure back and I have the energy of a youngster. Thank you Traci. I am one happy pup!!

Ripley & Teela
It
was years ago Traci was a godsend with my Great Pyr, Maya. She
provided the support & training we needed to work through her
separation anxiety & adoption transition. Maya loved hanging
with her boyfriends at daycare!
Now
Ripley, being the energetic Australian Shepherd that he is
gets the added exercise he needs so his devilish ways can be
calmed. The extra love & attention Traci provides goes a long
way! Traci helped Teela find her way to us. Daycare with Traci
gives Teela a second home where socializing with her friends
makes our angel a happy girl!
Traci is “top dog” in providing all her kids with the best
care & so much more…
Nellie
Jersey
Devil Doggie Daycare and Tracy are the two best things that
ever happened to us and our dog Nellie.
My husband Darren and I adopted Nellie as a puppy and besides
worrying about the normal antics that go along with
"puppy-hood", we also worried about what kind of arrangements
we were going to make for her during the day. We both work
full-time and the last thing we would ever even consider was
to leave a puppy home alone all day, in a crate or otherwise.
Finding Tracy and Jersey Devil DDC was a blessing! Nellie
LOVES Tracy and the entire experience has been phenomenol! We
have never had to deal with any of the issues that many new
puppy parents have to deal with for the simple fact that she
was TOO TIRED to get into any trouble! But even more
important, Nellie's experience at Jersey Devil DDC has made
her into the happy, friendly and playful dog that she is
today. She is GREAT with other dogs, due to the total
socialization that she experiences every day at Jersey Devil
DDC. She is great with people and physically, she is in great
shape because she is outside playing, running and enjoying the
fresh air for the entire day! She has one of the happiest
dispositions of any dog I have ever known and we know that it
is largely due to Tracy and Jersey Devil Doggie Daycare.
Tracy is passionate about animals and her "Daycare Kids" are
truly HER kids. Nellie is our baby and there are very few
people that we totally trust when it comes to her well-being.
We trust Tracy as much as we trust those few people who know
how important Nellie is to our family.
Whether you have a puppy or a full-grown dog, bringing them to
Jersey Devil Doggie Daycare is one of the best things you will
ever do for them. Do it for them and for you...you won't be
sorry!!!
Rufus
After I
moved to the area, I was concerned that Rufus wasn’t getting
enough socialization and exercise that he used to receive when
we lived down the street from a dog park. When a friend
suggested Jersey Devil Doggie Daycare, I was so excited at the
thought of Rufus playing all day with canine buddies while I
was at work. Although he was a bit hesitant to leave me at
first, he now barks the whole way to Daycare in excitement.
When I pick him up at the end of the day, he always needs to
bark about his great day before he takes a nice long nap. Even
though Rufus is an older dog, he always exudes puppy energy
before and after his day in daycare. Rufus is always so happy
to see Traci and I love hearing her updates about Rufus’ new
friends. Not only does Rufus have a great time, I have a great
day at work knowing he is enjoying his time in a safe and
extremely fun environment.
Sandy
Our
Sandy girl" is definitely "one of a kind" and we feel so lucky
that Jersey Devil Doggie Day Care is part of her "routine."
Traci treats each and every one of her guests with
unparalleled affection and we feel gifted that Sandy gets to
experience her extended family on a regular basis.
The program at JDDDC speaks to many facets of our pet's growth
pattern and our personal time with Sandy is an added pleasure
since her "social graces" have improved markedly.
We thank Traci for her love,care and affection to our pet and
consider both Sandy and ourselves fortunate to have Jersey
Devil Doggie Day Care an integral phase in Sandy's growth and
maturation process,
Thank you,Traci for all you do "above and beyond" for our
Sandy Girl."
Coco
Coco
is our 15 month old chocolate lab. Meeting Traci is the best
thing that ever happened to our family. When we met, Traci
took us on a tour of her day care facility. We immediately
knew that this was not a place just for day care but created
out of love. Coco is our only child, except for our 3 cats, so
you could imagine how happy we were to find someone that would
love our Coco while we are at work. It took Coco about a
second to fall in love with Traci and her day care friends.
Coco
goes to "school" 3 days a week and could not be a happier
child. The only way to get her out of bed in the morning is to
let her know that she's going to see Traci and then my husband
begins to name all of her friends that she will soon be
playing with. Then the tail gets going. Once we get her in the
car, she's sits in the middle in the back seat so she can see
when she's getting close. When we get to Traci's street, she
starts pacing in the back seat and crying to get out of the
car. She runs straight to Traci with hardly a glance back at
mom and dad.
At the
end of the day, she comes running out to us but before getting
in the car says goodbye to Traci several times crying the
whole time. We have to remind her that she will see Traci the
next day. One of these days, Traci may have to come home with
us in order to get Coco in the car. If that doesn't tell you
how much Traci loves her day care doggies, I don't know what
does!! Traci tells us funny stories about what Coco has done
during the day and we all go home happy.
When we
get home, Coco eats well and then lays down for a rest. We can
barely get her out for a walk before bedtime. As a result of
enrolling Coco in Traci's day care, she loves other dogs and
humans too. Even our vet said that Coco is in perfect shape
and weight for her age and that he can tell that she is a
happy puppy.
We
highly recommend enrolling your child in Traci's doggie day
care. You will be immediately impressed with the facility and
with Traci. Thank you, Traci, for loving our Coco and taking
such great care of her.
Coco's
mom and dad.
Carol & Fagan
Jersey
Devil Doggie Daycare has been the best thing to happen to
Fagan and me. Traci is wonderful with the dogs and it is
obvious how much she loves them. The facility is very clean
and the "children's" health is of utmost importance to her.
Fagan
loves it so much that he barks, howls and runs around like a
nut when I say he's going to see "his girlfriend". He loves
playing with his pals and is on the go all day. He's so
exhausted and hungry when he comes home that he gobbles down
his dinner then naps until bedtime. He then sleeps through the
night and is like a difficult teenager when trying to wake him
in the morning, unless he's seeing Traci again, then he's up
and ready to go.
I didn't
realize how important daycare is for him (and me) until Traci
was on vacation. A week without Traci and his pals and he was
a full-of- energy puppy who drove me crazy!! All the exercise
calms him for days on end and gives me a little break from
having to constantly entertain him. I just don't know what we
would do without Traci and doggie daycare!
Carol &
Fagan
Spencer
With
"empty nest" syndrome setting in I decided to get a puppy.
Spencer is a goldendoodle and is the heart and soul of my
being. We spent the first 6 months together 24-7.He became
attached at the hip. That's when Traci came in to save the
day. I knew Spencer needed to be socialized with other dogs,
so I made the phone call that turned out to be the best thing
I could have done for both Spencer and me. That first day of
daycare was much harder on me than it was on Spencer. He
looked at me, hesitated for a half of a second and was off
with Traci to meet his new friends. The second day and every
day since I barely get the car door open before he "bounds"
toward Traci as if I'm not even there! That is an unmistakable
sign to me that he adores Traci. And who wouldn't?? Her love
for dogs is immediately obvious. She treats Spencer with the
same love and respect that she does her own dogs. That's a
rare quality. She doesn't just let the dogs in the yard to
entertain themselves (which they obviously could)- she
interacts with them all day long. She plays catch with them,
blows bubbles with them, fills swimming pools for them, takes
pictures of them and the list goes on. I'm pretty sure that
she has more fun than the dogs! Traci puts her heart and soul
into her business and it shows. She's a very special person
who I've come to love and respect. I trust her unconditionally
with Spencer, and by my standards, that says it all.
Thank
you, Traci from the bottom of my heart.
Skylar
I
will never forget the first time I took my guy Skylar to
doggie day care. We actually had to push, pull and drag him in
there. But not any more! You see, Skylar is a very shy little
boy and needs lots of love and understanding. Now all I have
to do is say "were going to school" and those big ears go
straight up. He loves this place!!
I cannot
tell you how much doggie day care has helped my k-9 child. He
is getting so much better around people. He is still shy but
nothing like he used to be. Because of Traci my little angel
is so much better. She is wonderful with all the dogs. You can
see as each one arrives just how happy they are to be there.
Traci is Skylar’s best friend. I wish I could take him there
every day but we live far away and can’t make it there as
often as we would like.
Skylar
loves to play with his k-9 pals. He comes home exhausted and
needs to take a nap before he does anything else. He now has
manners and listens much better than he used to. He has
learned to jump on the tire and run through the tunnels. He
loves the swimming pool and the beach sand. It makes me happy
just to see what a great time he is having. Doggie Day Care
has made Skylar a very happy boy!
Thank
you Traci for caring so much about our 4 legged friends and
for all that you do for them. Skylar would be lost without
you!
Kodie
Kodie
"Doggie Day Care was the best thing that could have ever happened to my
95 lb teddy bear! Kodie absolutely loves hanging out with his buddies.
When we get ready to leave the apartment in the morning he's waiting at
the door. He can barely sit still in my Jeep on the way over, and when
we get there he jumps out the door before I can say goodbye. This is a
great feat, since Kodie doesn't jump much, but he gets so excited about
seeing Traci and all his friends. The socialization, exercise, and care
he gets is wonderful. Since I work all day, its been the best thing
that ever happened to my sleep schedule! and keeps the pounds off my
food loving pup. He's has so much fun all day and burns off so much
energy, that he's a complete angel when he gets home. It's dinner, a
walk, some quite time watching TV, and then he sleeps through the night,
and I get to catch up on things. Let me tell you, for an energetic,
year-old chocolate lab that's awesome. Traci is wonderful with all the
dogs at daycare and I feel completely confident in her when I leave my
little boy there each day! She doesn't even mind that he tries to swim
in the water bowl!

Benny & Kacie
We first met Traci and learned about Jersey Devil when we saw an ad for a red Golden Retreiver named Benny who needed a home. We were looking for a brother or sister for our Keeley girl. Traci brought Benny to visit and it was a perfect match. That was almost 6 years ago and we have been taking all our kids to Jersey Devil ever since. Both Ben and Kacie seem to know what day of the week it is as they cannot wait to get into the car on the days they go to DDC. Traci also helped us greatly to welcome Kacie into our family. They have a great time at DDC and come home nice and tired. We can't thank Traci enough for all she does for our kids.

Bleu
My Australian Cattle Dog "Bleu" has been a Jersey Devil Dog for several months now!! Knowing that this breed is high energy and loves to work and play, we were extremely excited to hear of such a facility that could take care of just that while we were at work!! Having started daycare at age 7 months we were equally happy that she is so socially adapted!! Traci spends countless hours everyday ensuring our little devils are challenged physically, ie: ball throwing, frisbee catch, tunnel maze, tires and even SWIMMING!!!! I can easily count on "Bleu" having an early night on daycare days!! She truely does come home an Angel!!! Traci also follows up each day with photos and videos that allow you to actually experience the fun that your daycare student had on that particular day! We have been extremely pleased with Jersey Devil Doggie Daycare and feel that this is money well spent!! We bring home a new little cattle dog in September and anticipate sending her as well, as soon as shes old enough!!! Thank you Traci for your care and compassion, we are definately satisfied customers, and "Bleu" too!!!!
Kim and Pat Post and "Bleu"
Dee Dee & Tuckee
It
has been almost 2 years since I made the phone call to Traci.
My lab was just 5 months old then and the world to us. Tucker
has a little bit of a trust problem with other people. We
don’t know why, but its part of what makes him, Tuck. The
first day he was a bit hesitant to leave his momma, but off
with Traci he went. It was hard on me to be without him at
first, but as Traci promised, I got used to getting things
done, or working and not feeling guilty that he was in a
crate. And it was only the first day that he was hesitant.
Every day since, he runs to her door, to see his friends.
Being with Traci and his friends has enabled him to trust a
little more.
Now
we have an English Mastiff that went with me for pick up every
day until she was old enough to attend. Tucker must have told
her how fun it was, cause DeeDee never thought twice about
running to the door on her first day.
There
really are no words for what Traci has done for our kids and
their friends. We work most days and know that our kids are
playing all day long. They come home exhausted, which keeps
them out of trouble! It also keeps our dogs in the best shape.
They are always complimented on their muscles.
Happy,
healthy and well behaved pups, is why we love Jersey Devil
Daycare. If you have second thoughts, take your dog and see
for yourself how happy it makes them. Our dogs mean the world
to us, but we also know they mean the world to Traci too…
Thank
you Traci
Dave, Maureen, Tucker and DeeDee
Kota
Jersey
Devil DDC is honestly a blessing in disguise!! Traci has been
the best thing that has happened to Kota and I, Every morning
i wake up on the days that kota is to go to daycare all I have
to say is " want to go to school" and kota flies down the
stairs and is waiting for me to put her leash on. She cries
the whole way down Goshen Swaiton Road in anticipation of
getting to school!! Once kota hears Traci say " Kota Girl"
I
can barely open the door before she is out the window!! When I
go to pick her up at 5 she is isn't even in the car five
minutes before she is completely sprawled out asleep in the
back seat! And for the rest of the night she is dead asleep!
Jersey Devil is the greatest thing to come to out community!!
I no longer have a restless dog who chews my shoes, and
couch!! Thank you Traci!
Amanda and Kota!!!
Lucia
Hi!
My name is Lucia and I love coming to see Traci and all of my
other friends at DDC! I have ALOT of energy and love to run,
run, run! This is the perfect place for me because my human
owners just don't understand the level of my energy. I have
the natural instinct to herd my friends while at DDC because
that's what us "Aussies" do! Here I have plenty of space to do
what I love, be apart of all that goes on daily. Traci takes
such great care of me and I can't wait to get here most days
of the week. I'm ready when my "Mom" gets my leash out and
heads towards our car. This is a great place to be instead of
stuck at home - it's like my vacation at the jersey shore! I
hope you can join me sometime, it's alot of fun! Tell your
human owners they should look into having you join me and the
rest of my friends. It's great exercise and I come home
totally ready for dinner and some nap time - my humans love
that part! I hope to see you soon!

Buddy
We
were at our witts end. Our 1 year old German Shorthair Pointer
Buddy was alone all day while my husband and I worked. When we
got home, all "heck" broke loose. We solved part of the
problem by getting the Invisible Fence, but he still wanted to
go out and in and out and in. Our daughter suggest Jersey
Devil. She had sent her dog there several years ago before she
got him a playmate. Our Buddy wasn't the friendliest dog we've
ever had but I took him and held my breath the whole first
day. That night I actually was able to sit down for more than
10 minutes because he was "out cold". Buddy has been one of
Traci's kids since last November. What a difference a year
makes. Traci's dedication and patience has certainly paid off
in our case. It's very obvious how much she cares about her
kids and I know they really care about her.

Tyler
The
Dog Whisper has nothing on Traci of Jersey Devil Doggie Day
Care. She is exceptional. She has put together a fun, safe
first class environment for our 4 legged loved ones.
Tyler loves Doggie Day Care. She can’t wait to go in the
morning full of energy. Tyler comes home at night totally
exhausted from a great day of playing and socializing with her
friends.
We can’t say enough about Jersey Devil Doggie Day Care. We
highly recommend it.

Donna & Cierra
I
have known Traci for over 10 years. I have worked with her
professionally with dogs, over the years also. During the time
she has owned & operated "Jersey Devil Doggie DayCare", I have
sent some of my dog training students to her daycare. The
reason I have always chosen her daycare over any others, is
simple. She has the cleanest, well kept grounds, she is aware
of canine diseases & problems that may occur when they are
large groups of dogs together in one place. And she can handle
the dogs with an ease of professional canine etiquette. Many
other daycares DO NOT understand these concepts, nor could
they handle most situations. She also has her daycare setup,
so the dogs may enjoy themselves, swimming, running, &
relaxing for a nap indoors. The improvement I have seen on the
clients I have sent to her, is amazing. The socialization
aspects her daycare provides these dogs provides a boost to
their personalities & a quiet happy dog that goes home
relaxed. This also makes the owners happy too. I highly
recommend "Jersey Devil Doggie Daycare" for any pet owner. It
is the best run daycare in our area, with a qualified, &
caring owner overlooking their safety & fun.

Rita
Jersey
Devil Doggie Daycare is a girl's best friend!! Our daughter
Rita (Margarita is her formal name) has been attending doggie
daycare since she was six months old. Now, she is almost four
and is still going strong. Rita tells us every evening how
much she enjoys playing with all her friends and she comes
home happy and content after a full day of school.
Traci is wonderful with all of the kids. She takes care of
them like they were all her own children. By far, Jersey Devil
Doggie Daycare and Traci are a wonderful find for you and your
"four legged child/children."
Claire,
Juana and "Rita"
Calvin
Woof!
"My name is Calvin. They tell me I'm a Soft-Coated Wheaten
Terrier, but I think I'm just a dog. If I could talk I would
tell you about my favorite place in the world, besides home on
the couch in the den, looking out the window and guarding my
people. Anyway, my other favorite place is Jersey Devil Doggie
Day Care. My dad takes me there in his truck, so every time I
ride with him my heart beats really fast and I get very
excited. I can hardly wait to get there and sometimes he can
hardly get the door open before I jump out of the truck to run
to Traci. She's my favorite human in the world (besides my mom
and dad). On the days when I don't get to go, I just stare at
my people until they tell me "Not today, Calvin". Then I lay
down with a big sigh. I like to make new doggie friends there,
so if you are a dog see if you can get your people to bring
you too! We'll play together, and if you're lucky! , Traci
will let you sit in her lap like I get to do when I need a
rest. Well, I have to go take a nap and rest before my next
visit." Woof!
Taffy

Taffy has been going to daycare
now for almost six years and is absolutely ecstatic whenever
we go to her home away from home. She has come a long way
since her first arrival at daycare when she had been abandoned
at 8 months old. She was kept outside from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
every day no matter what the weather was outside and crated
immediately when she came inside at night. She had some
“issues” went I first got her. Traci took her under her wing
and has totally transformed her. She doesn’t like people much
to this day as God only knows what happened to her outside,
but she loves her canine friends and Traci. All other behavior
problems disappeared within the first year.
Traci is an energetic and caring person and the “kids” all
love her for it. You can see it in the way they all adore her.
Traci’s knowledge and experience of handling canines has
helped me a great deal with not only Taffy’s behavior but
medically as well.
I would recommend Jersey Devil DDC to anyone with a canine
that needs extra love and companionship. It is a great place
to socialize your “child” and know they are in a loving
environment, having plenty of exercise and being content while
we are away from them at work or play
Theresa Dunphy
Quinn
We
love doggie day care! Our puppy, Quinn, wakes up so excited to
go to school. He eagerly eats his breakfast and waits by the
back door for his leash. Sometimes he's so excited we can
hardly get his collar around his neck. He trots out to the car
and into the back seat (no front seat for little ones). Once
in the car, we open the window a bit to let in the fresh air.
Quinn knows we're getting closer. His nose is out the window
-- SNIFF, SNIFF, SNIFF. Finally...we arrive. Quinn sees Traci
and must give her a morning hug. He runs up, puts his paws on
her shoulders, and the day begins. It's such an adorable
sight.
We're told Quinn and his posse play hard all
day. We believe it! He can hardly lift his body into the car
at the end of the day. His eyes are closed before the car door
is closed. He naps on the way home, sometimes eats dinner
(other times he's too tired), and naps again until bedtime.
Bedtime arrives and...ZZZZZZ...he dozes off for the night.
We recommend doggie day care to everyone. A
tired puppy is a good puppy, and a good puppy keeps the family
happy!
