Pet care experience
Growing up, my mother strictly enforced a rule: we must always have a pet. I grew up caring for all sorts of animals: cats, birds, guinea pigs, ferrets, and especially dogs. There hasn't been a year of my life where we haven't had a pet. I love animals, and try to spend as much time with them as possible. I've been with Rover for 6 years, and am extremely grateful for the opportunity to spend time with animals regularly. I have worked with all breeds of dogs and cats, and am comfortable working with all of them. I'm extremely responsible, and take this job very seriously. Pets are family, and I completely understand how much we love our best friends. I promise your pet with receive all the love, attention, and care they need/deserve. I recently began a new full-time job and am still figuring out what my day-to-day schedule will look like. For the time being, I likely won't be able to accept most booking requests, but please feel free to reach out just in case. My incredible brother, Alec, recently created a Rover account, and I highly recommend him in the case that I am unavailable. His profile can be found here: https://www.rover.com/members/alec-h-i-always-want-whats-best-for-cats/ I prioritize building trust with pet parents and pets, and value safety and routine. I have lived with animals my entire life, and caring for and loving them brings me so much fulfillment and joy! Best, Troy
Reviews
Troy was an absolute delight and our little fur boys loved her during her house-sitting. We would definitely work with her again, thanks Troy!
Troy took excellent care of my cat, Callie! She sent plenty of pictures and kept me updated and I came home to a clean home and a happy cat! Would definitely recommend Troy!
Troy was
Troy took care of our dog while we were on a long daytrip, she was flexible arranging care that was halfway between a walk and housesitting which we appreciated a lot! Our dog has a lot of anxiety but still warmed up to Troy, and she was very caring to all his quirks. She is no doubt a dog lover of all types ans overall a kind person. We'd absolutely recommend her!
About Troy H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Maintaining routines, cleanliness, and trying to stick to your pet's schedule as closely as possible. I am a strong believer in consistency and letting the pet some to me rather than trying to force trust and affection. I respect all my clients' unique needs and do my best to be communicative.
Information Troy H. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any breed preferences, I love all animals! I would love to know: - whether your pet has allergies - are they afraid of/do they dislike anything (bikes, other dogs, skateboarders, etc...)? - whether they'll need a meal, and what they eat - any special needs - do they have separation anxiety (not a problem, just important to know!)? - favorite toys! *I would like to stress that special needs are not a deterrent for me. I have worked with various dogs with special needs at shelters, through fostering, at work, and at home once my dogs got very old (my oldest lived to be 21!). As long as you can provide care instructions, I will definitely take care of your pet.*
A typical day
My day-to-day looks very different now that I'm working full-time. We're currently remote, but the nature of my work often requires me to go to court a couple times per week and it's not always clear how long I will be there. For this reason, I will only be offering cat sitting for the foreseeable future.

Availability
I have a full-time 9-5 job, and am still figuring out my schedule, so I will only be able to accept a small number of requests. Please feel free to reach out regardless, and if I am unavailable, I will provide a referral.
