3. Jason M.


“Jason is the absolute best when it comes to taking care of Henry when I'm away. Even though Henry is a rambunctious 2 year old and a rather large golden retriever, Jason is so good at working with him and so patient when Henry gets excited. Jason was also very flexible about fitting me in when I had to go out of town last minute so I really feel like I can rely on him even when it's short notice. He always provides thorough updates on Henry so I know he's doing well while I'm away.”
