Jared was fantastic with our dog! He went above and beyond to provide the best care possible, was incredibly accommodating, and very communicative. Would highly recommend!

Jared was a lifesaver! Our furry friends and home were in great hands. I’m so thankful for all the care and attention he gave them. They’re all healthy and safe now, and I can’t thank him enough!

Jared was very reliable and took great care of our Brewer when we were gone. He was respectful of our place and gave constant updates of our little man!

Jared helped take care of my pup and 2 cats while away for a long trip. My pup is very resistant to going for walks when I’m not there and Jared helped get him out with some patients and conditioning. Very happy with communication and updates as well!

Jared was absolutely fantastic! He took really great care of our dogs, and went the extra mile for the one that requires a bit more work with wet food. They were super well cared for, and he really allowed us to not worry with frequent updates and photos. Would request Jared to watch our dogs again, definitely!!

Jared is great! He is everything you would want in a pet caregiver. I completely trust him with my two dogs (who love him). He is punctual and reliable, and goes out of his way to ensure my dog's needs are met- including lots of exercise time! I highly recommend him as a pet caregiver.
