“Jason is fantastic! He cared for our cat and house for two weeks. During that time, he was attentive and responsive, sending messages and photos frequently and unprompted. During our time away, a water main break interrupted water service to the house but even this did not interfere with Jason's care-taking. He brought in fresh water for our cat and kept us updated until water service was returned. I trust Jason completely and definitely would work with him again.”
