17. Alexander S.
“For a couple of years now, Alex has been staying at my home with my three-year-old mixed-breed cattle dog, Quico, when the humans in my family go on vacation. We leave Alex detailed instructions on how to provide Quico the best care, including food, medicine, and physical/mental fulfillment, since he is a high-energy dog, which they always follow. Quico also absolutely loves Alex, so I know Quico is in good hands when we go out of town -- emotionally and physically. Alex also is very responsive to my texts checking in on my beloved puppy dog, in addition to sending occasional adorable pictures and updates. Excellent care for my dog!”
18. Rita D.
“I've never met anyone who loves pets as much as Rita. She has taken care of my coonhound Juno many times, even dealing with an emergency with quick thinking and experience. Juno loves Rita almost as much as she loves me, and I'm okay with that! I would trust her with any of my animals, any day of the week.”
