20. Xinxian H.
“Dear ROVER I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional pet care service provided by Xinxan. Recently, I entrusted her to take care of my beloved dog, Wangcai, during my absence. Xinxan demonstrated remarkable professionalism, reliability, and genuine care throughout the entire process. She followed all my instructions meticulously and ensured Wangcai was well-fed, happy, and comfortable. Not only did she meet my expectations, but she exceeded them by updating me regularly with photos and notes about Wangcai’s well-being. It was clear to me that she genuinely cared for my dog, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Xinxan to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care services. Her dedication and kindness make her an invaluable asset to your team. Thank you”
