John was great, very easygoing guy and took great care of my cat. He also sent very cute update photos! He was very kind to pick up a package for me too when I was away.

Jack was great for my two cats, watched them over Christmas break with no issues at all - very responsible, courteous, and overall a great experience. Would recommend!

John (Jack) is a responsible young man who has helped with our many dogs over the years as we are neighbors. He is always on time and is reliable. He treats our dogs as his own, playing with them and giving them long walks. I highly recommend him to Rover! Jacqueline

John provided excellent care for our cats when we traveled. He was responsive, easy to contact and reliably fed our cats. One time when our security system had a malfunction, he was able to help troubleshoot with us and the security company. I highly recommend John.
