Meet Our Team

Tracey began boarding dogs in her home in 2012 after losing her beloved Golden Retriever, Tanner. Caring for dogs of all personalities and needs helped her realize that working with dogs wasn’t just something she loved, it was what she was meant to do. She went on to raise four puppies for The Seeing Eye and earned her training certification from Animal Behavior College in 2016. These experiences led her to open Tanner’s Canine Resort, a place built on love, trust, and expert care for every dog.

Natalie is dedicated to fostering strong bonds between dogs and their families. She has held roles in daycare management and front desk operations, providing excellent customer service and daily support to pet parents. She earned her training certification from Animal Behavior College and is a CGC Evaluator experienced teaching both private and group obedience classes to dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Outside Tanner's, Natalie enjoys crafting & spending time with her own pets.
