Blake is one of the kindest, most reliable, and trustworthy pet sitters I've ever had. There's just something about him-- animals are drawn to him and just love him. He takes initiative and goes above and beyond to guarantee my pets' needs are met and they are happy when in his care, which I really appreciate, as it's very hard for me to leave my pets and I worry about them all the time! With Blake, I never have to worry, though. He has cared for my large dogs and cat numerous times, generally as a pet sitter during the week while I commute to the office downtown for work. They are obsessed with Blake and both are over-the-top excited whenever they see him. I think my cat and golden retriever like him more than me at this point! My cat has literally imprinted on Blake or something, he loves him! Blake is great at giving me updates (unprompted) throughout the day and sending pics of my pets. He plays ball in the yard and makes sure to have lots of active play time. One of my dogs struggles with food aggression due to being attacked as a puppy, but Blake manages this very well and I never worry leaving them together which is usually a big source of anxiety for me. Blake is a great communicator, strong and capable enough to manage large or multiple dogs, is honest and direct with updates, and just an overall wonderful person and trustworthy pet sitter. I trust Blake with my pets completely. We're so lucky to have him available for pet sitting up here. A real gem.
