House Sitting Crossroads

“Kandy is always so helpful when we go out of town! Our Henry is a handful of an old man and we were always so worried about leaving him with someone when we were gone! I am so lucky to have found her! Henry might not show that he’s having a good time, but I know that he’s been well taken care of!”

About: I don’t just watch dogs—I get to know them. Whether it’s helping puppies learn the ropes or giving senior pups slow, cozy care, I tailor every visit to what your dog actually needs. I’m patient, upbeat, and love turning training moments into fun games. I pay close attention to each dog’s unique needs, energy level, and personality—because great care isn’t one-size-fits-all. And yes, I’m the sitter who celebrates every tail wag like it’s an achievement. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full time Monday–Friday from 8–4, but I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits. I also have holidays and summers off, which gives me plenty of flexible time for daytime walks, drop-ins, and longer stays when needed. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I maintain a safe, structured environment by following your pet’s routine exactly as you outline it. In your home, I respect your space, secure doors and gates, and keep all food, treats, and cleaning supplies out of reach. I monitor pets closely during walks and use sturdy leashes and proper equipment. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind.

“I feel so lucky that we found Hannah! She is caring, patient, and so loving with my puppy. I know he will always be safe and spoiled when he is with Hannah so we will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Tracey was so kind to help out with my stray kitty boy over the holidays!! She kept me updated with pictures and videos which really eased my mind. My boy seemed so content with her right away that I knew I had nothing to worry about. Tracey definitely has a connection with animals and seems to be an animal whisperer… I would highly recommend her!”

About: I have been pet sitting, house sitting, & even plant sitting since I was 15. I am clean, tidy and trustworthy, you won’t even know I was there! As an animal lover myself, your pet is in good hands! During the week I do have a full time job, but do not let that push you away! Your pet will be my top priority before and after my shift! For weekends I am 100% free when need be! Majority of the time I will stay in your home with your pet. I will follow all rules you have and keep your space tidy. Keeping your pet in their space is usually the best way to keep unwanted stress off of your pet while their humans are away! So take that trip, your furbaby is in great care! I have 3 large dogs at my home, if you require your pet to stay with me, they MUST be good with other dogs. (Cats may not stay with me in my home.) This is only an “if needed” situation, I’d much rather keep your pet in your home.

“Jennifer and John were such a blessing, on a seriously last minute booking! They were so responsive, made time in the less than 24 hour notice request to come over to meet our dogs. They were thorough in explaining the care they provide and very personable! As I was so nervous letting people I’d never met stay in our home they were reassuring and attentive to my multiple questions. While away, they sent many updates and pictures, again so reassuring to me! They also are so neat and tidy and took such good care of our home cleaning up after themselves, the dogs as well as washing the linens! Would absolutely recommend!! Thank you Jennifer and John!”

About: As long as I can remember growing up we always had animals mostly dogs. As I got older I have always been the one my friends and family come to when they need someone to care for their pets. I would pet sit, take them on walks , stay with them and play with them. I am a true dog lover through and through. I have had dogs my whole life . My son has 5 dogs and pretty much everyone I know is a pet lover so no matter where I go I’m around animals. I watch dogs for friends and my son often. I can take them to the dog park to run and play with other dogs. We can go on walks and play in the yard.

About: I truly love animals and have been around them my entire life. I currently have dogs and cats of my own, so caring for animals is part of my everyday routine. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs patience, attention, and love. My home provides a safe and welcoming environment, including a fenced-in yard for dogs to play. My pets are friendly and accustomed to being around other animals. I treat every pet like a member of my own family and will provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel comfortable while they’re away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I have multiple dogs and cats of my own. I work full-time during the day, but I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and regular potty breaks. Your pet will be treated like family and cared for in a loving home environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a clean, pet-friendly home with a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. I currently have four friendly dogs and five cats who are well-socialized and used to being around other animals. I carefully monitor all pets, follow feeding and medication instructions, and provide a loving environment where they can feel safe, comfortable, and at home. If for any reason, you don’t feel comfortable with your animals being around mine, my dogs can go to my mother-in-law’s.

About: Hi there! I’m so excited to be back on Rover after a little break—and even more excited to meet your furry family members 🐾 I bring over 20 years of hands-on pet sitting experience, caring for animals of all kinds, personalities, and needs. From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets, I’m comfortable providing attentive, loving care tailored to each pet. I also have experience with animals who have disabilities or require a little extra patience and support, and I’m confident managing households with multiple pets—keeping everyone happy, safe, and on their routine. I was a Rover sitter for 5 years previously, and I’m thrilled to return doing what I genuinely love. You can count on me for dependable care, clear communication, and lots of affection for your pets while you’re away. I treat every animal like they’re my own—because they deserve nothing less! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby 💕 *REPEAT CLIENTS WILL RECEIVE A DISCOUNTED PRICE* 9/26/25 UPDATE PLEASE READ DETAILED STATEMENT AT THE END OF THIS INTRODUCTION IN REGARD TO THE REVIEW LEFT BY DEBBY THAT WAS COMPLETELY UNTRUE- UNFORTUNATELY ROVER WILL NOT DELETE REVIEWS REGARDLESS OF THEM BEING A DEFAMATION AND COMPLETELY FALSE. MY DETAILED RESPONSE TO THE REVIEWED LEFT BY DEBBY- I wanted to give a detailed breakdown of what happened with Debby since rover will not take down the review even though they did a thorough investigation with photos/video and nasty messages sent by Debby to me. I took on this booking even though I had a gut feeling not to, but I ignored it and I wish I had not done that. I was asked last minute by Debby to care for her diabetic cat, she told me her cat was great with strangers and would have no issue with taking the insulin shots from me (lie number one). The morning of my first visit, Debby had messaged me informing she had birds in the house and to not pay attention to them.. now let me start off by saying that due to a past traumatic experience with a previous clients birds, I have developed a fear of being near them in close spaces (to which she pokes fun at in her review) and had I known she had them, I would not have accepted this booking. I was hesitant to enter her house but she said they were in a cage so I proceeded with the visit, upon opening her door one of the birds almost FLEW OUTSIDE because they were NOT in a cage(lie number two). I was immediately concerned by this not only due to my fear of birds but due to this being a safety risk considering the birds could’ve flew out the door if I didn’t get to it in time. After this happened, I wanted to turn around and leave but I couldn’t because I needed to give her cat an insulin shots. After I went upstairs, I could not find the cat anywhere and after ten minutes I found her hiding under the bed hissing at me, she was in no way friendly towards strangers. I did my best to get her to come with me, I was at the visit way longer than the scheduled 30 minutes to try to make sure her cat got the shot. After I was finally able to lure her out with a treat, I had to quickly grab her and administer the shot.. she clawed at me and bit me several times (photo proof was sent to rover). I was very taken back by this visit due to unexpected birds and a cat who was the complete opposite of what their owner described. I felt unsafe to continue the booking and feared that due to the cat’s unwillingness to come to me that she might not get her shots injected properly so her health was my number one priority, I immediately called rover support to report everything that had happened and I also informed Debby at the same time. Debby was awful to me, made fun of me and treated me with complete disregard and through all of that, I still remained calm, collective and professional. After she had hinted at threatening me, I cut off all contact with her and immediately reported that to rover as well. At that point it was now rover and Debby’s responsibility for the cats care, I felt even more unsafe after the awful things Debby said to me. I didn’t have to but I even worked with rover to find another sitter and wanted them to make sure they made others aware of the trust situation, I even offered to take the cat it’s vet or local cat sitting agency but that was denied and rover told me they would handle it all. After one week, I found that my rover account had been suspended and I had to call rover and speak with over ten different reps in one week to get my account back.. finally after they realized I had done NO wrong and it was all the pet owner, I got my account back and a lengthy apology from Rover. Upon getting my account back, I noticed Debby had left that review and I was devastated by that. I have worked so hard on this app to give the best care for others animals and that’s been proven by every other review just for hers to completely destroy all the good I’ve been doing by lying. I’m truly upset with Rover for not only allowing that review to be left there, but for allowing Debby to even still have an account after her lies, threats and defamation. I hope that no other rover sitters go through what I did with her. With all of that being said, I refuse to delete my account and start over as I want people to see all the good I’ve done and to be aware of what truly happened with Debby. I hope to continue to provide the best care possible for all my current rover clients and future ones, please do not let one woman’s lies deter you away from someone who truly loved and care for animals with her whole heart. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you book with me ❤️ I have a pretty flexible schedule and am usually able to take same day bookings! I’m always willing to work with you to help you get the best care for your animals. I offer the same unconditional love for my pet to yours as well! I love having detailed lists for your animals, especially if they are special needs. Rest assured your animals will be in great hands!

About: I am deaf, so I am able to bond with pets more because they cannot communicate their needs with humans. I am likewise, so I hope to communicate with gestures as they may did. I am studying in a certificate program, so that shouldn’t be a problem. I will work during the workdays, and I can be available during weekends. I have two kittens and three koi fishes. They are fed once in the mornings or evenings. I cuddle them for some time but left them to wander wherever their curiosity attracted them. My cats like to sit on my chest or necks when they wished to, but I left them to their desires when they want to.
