“Thank you Kelly & Brian for making this process a breeze. This was my first time using the app and I would definitely book with you again. The updates and photos put me at ease, ensuring my little one was comfortable. Again thank you for everything!”
“Dalis was wonderful! Our trip was unexpectedly delayed by two days and Dalis was very accommodating. It was so great not having to stress about our dog being well taken care of as we scrambled to get home.”
“We had Melanie keep our little man for the first time while we were out of town for 7 days. She sent us several pictures every day with an update on his wellbeing. The peace of mind we had while away was immeasurable and we cannot thank Melanie enough for taking wonderful care of our sweet baby! 🐾 Thank you again! 🩷🐾”
“Donna and Will are great! They are kind and caring . Our dog Max was well taken care of and they loved him as if it was their own dog. They sent us pictures and updates while we were out of down and that made us feel good and comfortable .”
“She was amazing in her service as my dog is a medical service dog. I was so happy to see that my girl was left in good hands and treated like a part of their family. Also, the sitter was extremely flexible with my travel, inconveniences and insured that my girl was taking care of the entire time. I can’t recommend her highly enough for her wonderful work and the fact that she is fantastic at sharing the daily activities While your animal is in her care so you can rest assured that they aren’t being just left in a kennel and not loved. I will be using her services moving forward as much as I can for my travel issues as I am very particular for where my dog goes and to be offered the country experience alongside the family love that her home offers is topped to your service for an affordable price.”
“Would love to have her to oversee Titus anytime. She kept me informed at all times. He loved his company. Her family is very welcoming. I’m thankful that she was available to assist me at the spur of the moment. I’m really satisfied with overall service Rover provides for my pet Monster Titus. Rick”
About: We have raised and take care of all three of our dogs! We also pet sit my sister’s Golden Retriever sometimes! This includes feeding, walking, playing, exercising, bathing, etc. We have crate and potty trained all three of our personal pets. Our dogs sleep with us at night and are allowed on our furniture. Any dog we keep is treated like our own! My husband and I both work full time jobs, but my husband Brandon is a school teacher so he is home all summer. Your dogs are rarely ever crated… only if we have an errand to run. Our typical weekend is spent at the dog park, in the drive thru at Dunkin’ for pup cups, and lounging on the couch! My husband is home during the summer, and we have a fenced in backyard, so the dogs are let out to play and potty multiple times during the day. We feed our dogs twice a day- once in the morning & once at night, but let us know if you have a different schedule and we will keep your dog on it! We have three dogs of our own that sleep with us at night and are allowed on our furniture. Blu is three and loves to play with new friends! Ellie is four and would prefer to lay on her bed and chew her bone! Any dog we keep is treated like our own!
“Hope is great! Charli immediately loved her and she took great care of my baby!!! I highly recommend choosing Hope if you need someone to watch you precious babes. I will definitely be using Hope again in the future!!”
“They were super nice and gave us updates anytime we wanted about the well being of our baby. Would highly recommend them to take care of your fur baby while you are on vacation.”
“We were extremely happy with the care our 3 dogs received while in Shaquitas home! The pictures we were sent were comforting because they seemed relaxed and also like they were having fun!”
“Auburn was absolutely the best possible person we could have found to care for my mom's dog. She was kind, flexible, understanding, and totally amazing. My mom had to accompany her partner to an out of town medical facility, immediately after he received a surprise terminal diagnosis. She was very worried about her dog. Auburn picked Ginger up, took great care of her, sent regular pictures and updates, and dropped Ginger off after my mom got home, late at night. She was beyond accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone. If we ever have another need for service, we hope and pray Auburn will be available.”
“Stephanie and her family provided great care for our fur kid. Our previous sitter canceled on us less than 3 days before we were going away...but Stephanie came to the rescue! We were gone for a week and she provided us with updates and a picture. Our trip even got extended an extra day due to airline issues and Stephanie accomodated Ziggy with no issues. We would definitely use her again!”
“Brittany is fantastic! She kept both of our pups. One has really bad anxiety and warmed right up. Brittany also sent pictures and videos while we were gone. We are so thankful we found her, because we know our fur babies are very well taken care of in her hands.”
“Jessica was great! We had a last minute trip and she was able to accommodate us and worked with our schedule. We knew from the meet and great that Gus would be in good hands. We received pictures and videos and Gus looked happy and like he was having a fantastic time’ Gus was comfortable and made himself right at home! Definitely recommend them and will use again!”
“Danielle was an absolute lifesaver for us! My senior dog has anxiety, and has never stayed with a non-family member, so leaving her for 5 days was initially a bit daunting. However, Danielle was incredibly patient and understanding, and her calm demeanor really helped my pup settle in. Daily text updates and photos provided peace of mind. The photos clearly showed that she was comfortable and captured adorable moments of her relaxing. It was evident how well my dog was cared for. Danielle followed all instructions, and the home was clean. Booking is highly recommended!”
“Ben did a wonderful job taking care of my high energy puppy! He provided excellent communication before and during the booking. I appreciated the daily updates along with photos of how my girl was doing while we were away. I could tell she was well loved, cared for, and played with! I also appreciate how he went above and beyond to help her be comfortable while in his care. I will definitely use him again!”
“Heather was great! She took our pups pretty last minute and even let us come over first to see her place. She was very responsive and our pups seemed to have a good time. We definitely recommend Heather and will be using her again!”

“Dani did a wonderful job with our kitties - not only the basics (food/water/scooping) but also gave them plenty of one on one attention. It was lovely to be able to go away overnight and not worry about our babies! Absolutely recommended.”
“My husband and I have 2 sweet baby girls! One of them has severe anxiety with other people and the other will be your BFF! ? We decided to go the beach last minute with my in-laws. This was the longest we have ever left them. From the first moment I communicated with Amanda, she was very detailed and put my mind at ease about leaving my babies. She came for drop-in visits and stayed over time caring for and loving on our dogs! She sent pictures and videos at every visit and ensured they had fresh water and food. She worked so hard to reach out anxious Remi girl and to my amazement, actually got her kind of close, and Remi wasn't even barking. ❤️ When we arrived home from our trip, Amanda had left a daily report detailing every visit and left a super sweet personalized note to us and the girls. The most special touch of all was the little basket of treats and toys she had on the counter! ??We will definitely use book with her again! Your babies will be in great care of you decide to book with her as well!”
About: I’ve been walking dogs and dog sitting for family and friends since I was 10. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have experience in the clinic. I have been held responsible for walking, feeding, watering, and grooming pets in the past. I am currently working in the er 2-3 days a week. I work 12 hour shifts and will put unavailable unless the client approves me checking in before and after work. I am a college student but my classes are online so I am easily flexible and can complete my school anytime and anywhere. When pet sitting I like to stick to a routine the dog is familiar with as it is already stressful for them when their family is gone. I will play with them and take them on walks if that is something your dog enjoys.
About: I’ve been surrounded by cats my whole life! Growing up, my family had six cats at one point, so I’m no stranger to multi-cat households and the unique personalities that come with them. Currently, I have a 2-year-old Maine Coon cat who is my 2-year-old daughter's best friend.
“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job with our cat O'Malley! We loved the pictures she sent us of him, and it eased our minds so much to know he was well taken care of. We'll definitely be asking her to sit for him again soon.”
“AnaMaria has been coming by to play with our golden retriever while we are at work and she has been absolutely amazing!! She always sends plenty of photos and updates. Our dog is very high energy and she is so good with him and even brought over a tennis ball for him. Would highly recommend AnaMaria to care for your fur babies!”

“Jennifer is wonderful! I have two older cats that require medication (insulin shot and thyroid ear medication) twice a day at pretty specific times. So I need a prompt and reliable sitter and Jennifer was definitely all of that! She arrived early, took care of all the medication, feeding and litter scooping. She has a great personality and is obviously very good with all pets. I definitely will be using her again for my crew! I Highly recommend her!”
About: Experience with friendly and not so friendly felines. If they wants snuggles - snuggles they get. If they want to be left alone - they'll never see me. Little box scooper extraordinaire.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I offer more than just sitting — I provide personalized attention tailored to your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s gentle care for seniors, extra patience and playtime for high-energy pups, or basic training for young dogs, I’ve got the skills and heart to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like family — because they are. As a stay-at-home mom, I integrate pet care seamlessly into our daily and weekly routines. Each morning begins with feeding and checking on our pets, ensuring they have fresh water and a clean space. Throughout the day, I include walks, playtime, and interaction as part of our family activities—helping pets stay active and engaged. Grooming, cleaning litter boxes or cages, and maintaining their living areas are handled regularly, typically during nap times or quieter parts of the day. I also schedule weekly tasks such as bathing, or vet visits as needed. Caring for our pets is a natural part of our home life. As a stay-at-home mom, creating a safe, trustworthy, and nurturing environment is at the heart of my daily routine. I prioritize cleanliness, consistency, and attentiveness to ensure every member of the household—whether child, adult, or pet—feels secure and cared for. I understand how important it is to build trust through reliability and open communication, and I maintain a calm, structured environment that promotes comfort and peace of mind.

“Our Dachshund Teddy has been going to Kira's home for almost 2 years for both daycare and boarding. Recently we've had some stressful situations (flying out of state for a funeral, emergency medical issues and the loss of another pet) I never had to worry if Teddy was being well cared and all his needs met. My husband, I and our Doxie all consider Kira's home his home away from home. Teddy is always excited to return regardless if he had been to Daycare multiple times in a week or been boarded for an extended period of time. Peace of mind when entrusting someone with the care of a furbaby is priceless and that is what Kira and her husband provide. You two are the BEST”

About: I'm a responsible and compassionate pet sitter with hands-on experience working at an animal rescue in Odessa, Florida, caring for pets of all backgrounds. As a Maine Coon owner, I understand the importance of creating a safe, loving environment. My military experience has instilled a strong sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and reliability. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or special care, I'll treat them like family while giving you peace of mind. **I am unable to offer boarding in my own home and I am unable to stay overnight at the moment** Pet care is a natural fit for my lifestyle and one of my passions! I’m currently doing a remote internship while serving Active Duty, with plans to transition into the Reserves in May. This flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for pets, whether it’s dropping in for visits, ensuring they’re well-fed and loved, or providing companionship while their humans are away. I’m also planning to start my own pet-sitting company, so every opportunity to care for your furry family members is not only a joy but also part of building my dream! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in your home. I take the time to understand your pet’s unique needs and routines to ensure they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. I’m diligent about following your instructions, whether it’s feeding schedules, administering medications, or playtime preferences. I also ensure your home is treated with the utmost respect—leaving it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I believe in open communication, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving hands.
About: Hello ! Experienced, kind pet owner of about 14 years. I love and care for them deeply ! Quite a wonderful journey Thank you ! Pet care is my daily cuddle and check routine, woven gently into every morning and evening with love and attention. Thank you for the opportunity. I provide gentle, attentive care for pets in clients homes daily. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Thank you!
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, and while my parents are away I go over and house sit and take care of their dogs. I also watch my neighbors dogs while they are on vacation. I’m currently working part-time and will be finishing up my college semester. During summer I will have a lot of free time during mid-day to check in on your babies! My dogs are like household members so I treat them with respect and give them lots of love. I take them out, and take them for walks when needed and they love to go for drives (especially when it ends with pupcups.)
About: I worked at a vet for two years and have had experience with boarding pets there, I’ve pet sat for many friends and family in their homes, and I worked with dogs on a daily basis at my former job as a dog bather. I have three dogs and a cat of my own and have many years of experience with cats since we owned several kitties back home. I’ve worked with dogs of all age, breed, and size so I am familiar with many different situations and quirks of the different breeds. My schedule is flexible! While I work full-time Monday through Friday, I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend care, and I can often adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Feel free to reach out, I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet! I will spend as much time as needed with your fur babies and will make sure all of your requests and expectations are met! I am trustworthy and understand that your pets are part of your family so they will be taken care of like they were my own. I will make sure your pets have an enjoyable time while their parents are away!

“So so thankful to Amy! My dog has been having an extra hard time adjusting after moving to the area. Amy went out of her way to give him some extra attention and help me give him more interaction during the day. Will definitely be using Amy again!”
About: One thing that sets me apart is my firsthand experience caring for a reactive dog of my own. That experience taught me how important patience, consistency, body language awareness, and calm handling are when working with dogs who may be anxious, overstimulated, fearful, or slow to trust new people. Because of that, I’m very mindful of creating a safe, low-stress environment where pets can feel comfortable at their own pace. I’m experienced with maintaining routines, managing different energy levels, and recognizing behavioral cues before situations become stressful. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and pets who need extra patience or structure. I also know how important communication is to pet parents, so I provide reliable updates, photos, and detailed check-ins for peace of mind while you’re away. Because I run my own special education advocacy business, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive pet care throughout the week. My work gives me the ability to accommodate a variety of schedules, including daytime visits, overnight stays, weekends, and many holiday needs. I’m able to plan my schedule carefully so pets receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship rather than rushed drop-ins. Flexibility also means I can better adapt to pets with specific routines, medication schedules, anxiety needs, or extra potty breaks. I care for pets by focusing on keeping their routine as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and affection based on their individual personality and needs. I understand that many pets feel safest in their familiar environment, so I try to maintain the routines they’re used to while also keeping the home clean, secure, and well cared for. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and energy levels so I can adapt care appropriately, whether a pet needs active play, mental stimulation, quiet companionship, or extra patience. My experience owning a reactive dog has made me especially mindful about creating calm interactions and respecting each animal’s comfort level and boundaries.
About: I’ve been walking dogs and dog sitting for family and friends since I was 10. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have experience in the clinic. I have been held responsible for walking, feeding, watering, and grooming pets in the past. I am currently working in the er 2-3 days a week. I work 12 hour shifts and will put unavailable unless the client approves me checking in before and after work. I am a college student but my classes are online so I am easily flexible and can complete my school anytime and anywhere. When pet sitting I like to stick to a routine the dog is familiar with as it is already stressful for them when their family is gone. I will play with them and take them on walks if that is something your dog enjoys.
About: My passion for pets and their mental well-being started early. Since 2019, my dad and I have volunteered at animal shelters, walking dogs and house training them to help them find loving homes. Now, as a college freshman, I’m continuing my mission to give back to the community and support animals as they grow. With two dogs of my own I trained and experience raising a litter of puppies, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and engaged. When your pets are with me, they’ll get more than just care—they’ll enjoy fun agility activities, positive interaction, and, most importantly, safety. I am currently a fully time student, along with involved into on campus clubs and volunteers at the Hospital, but, I still make time to take care of animals at my local animal shelter. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. My home provides a secure, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can relax, play, and feel at ease. I ensure all spaces are free from hazards, with secure fencing and locked gates for outdoor activities.
About: I love taking care of animals. I have been dog sitting for a long time, I have a customer that she trusts me enough to come and dog sit when their are puppies around 3 weeks old. I am passionate about taking care of our 4 legged friends. I am currently looking for a job so as of right now I’m free everyday so far. I am pretty flexible when it comes to dog sitting. I respect people wishes, I try to give their pets the best service and love as I can. I make sure they are fed and have plenty of water, I also make sure they aren’t home alone for to long.
About: I will provide great communication between myself and the owner of the pet. I will give the up most care of your pet. I will maintain fresh water and good quality food. I can provide a fun and entertaining environment for all pets providing engagement and learning opportunities. I will also proving ample opportunity for exercise. I have experience admitting medication and clipping claws/nails. I will make sure your pet is safe and any and all threats are taken care of. I would love to get to know your pet on a personal level and really learn the behavior of your pet. I can provide a backup plan if pet may escape from area. Providing I will prevent any pet to escape from cage or back yard. Since I’m not working currently, I have plenty of time to give your pets all the attention, care, and love they deserve. My schedule is wide‑open and flexible. Your pet’s safety is always my first priority. I follow your routine exactly as you describe it, keep doors and gates securely closed, and double‑check leashes, harnesses, and collars before every walk. During drop‑ins and home visits, I stay fully focused on your pet no distractions and monitor their behavior, comfort, and environment the entire time. I’m trained to stay calm and attentive, and I always keep emergency contacts and care instructions on hand. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and protected every moment I’m with them.
About: I have 15+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and personalities. As a former AKC conformation and lure coursing competitor, I’m confident handling everything from playful puppies to shy or reactive pets. I share my home with four cats, including rescues, so I understand animals with unique needs. I offer calm, patient, and reliable care—no breed or size restrictions, just a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Most pets, if asked, would prefer to stay home rather than go to a boarding kennel while you are gone. They are in their own home, eating their familiar food from their regular bowl, playing in their own yard, sleeping on their favorite bed or couch. My goal as a pet sitter is to keep your pet healthy, happy, and safe so you can enjoy your time away from home. I visit your home at least twice a day, feeding, checking water bowls, petting and loving, supervising exercise and play time, and handing out treats. I am especially good with senior dogs and have experience getting even difficult dogs to take medications. I also do things like collect mail or newspapers and turn lights on and off so that it looks like someone is around. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time and attend classes two nights a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime visits, walks, and overnight care. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, making sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and affection. Caring for animals is one of the best parts of my week—it’s grounding, rewarding, and something I truly enjoy. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed by maintaining their normal routines. In your home, I follow your feeding, walking, and playtime schedules closely and keep things calm for shy or anxious pets. In my home, animals have a quiet, supervised space, enrichment toys, and plenty of affection. Whether it’s medication, training, or extra snuggles, I tailor care to each pet’s personality and needs.
About: I have been a Pet Sitter, for cats and dogs, and I have walked dogs for my family and friends for years now. Pet Care has become a passion of mine! I have no problem keeping up with high-need or active animals. I am good at keeping animals calm and non-destructive by keeping them entertained and making sure they get their proper exercise. I have helped train 2 dogs recently. I am also good with older pets who may need a bit extra help. I am a part time worker so I have lots! Of time to play around with your pets! I am available most weekdays for casual things while I am available weekends for boarding! I have a big fenced in backyard that your pet can run around in! I have a older male Sheepadoodle that can keep your pet company. And you will always have the choice to ask for them to be kept separate. I will clean your pet’s paws with baby wipes after they come in from outside so that they return to you squeaky clean! I am located in a house so space is not an issue for your pet, and I can provide toys!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and love taking care of them. I’m able to go for long walks or just snuggle on the couch, whatever your dog needs. I’m currently a stay at home mom to 2 kids so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I’ll be home with your pets the majority of the day when they stay with us. I don’t currently have a fenced in yard so the dogs will have to be leash trained when they stay at my house. We’ll go for long walks around the neighborhood.

“Dalis was wonderful! Our trip was unexpectedly delayed by two days and Dalis was very accommodating. It was so great not having to stress about our dog being well taken care of as we scrambled to get home.”
“She was amazing in her service as my dog is a medical service dog. I was so happy to see that my girl was left in good hands and treated like a part of their family. Also, the sitter was extremely flexible with my travel, inconveniences and insured that my girl was taking care of the entire time. I can’t recommend her highly enough for her wonderful work and the fact that she is fantastic at sharing the daily activities While your animal is in her care so you can rest assured that they aren’t being just left in a kennel and not loved. I will be using her services moving forward as much as I can for my travel issues as I am very particular for where my dog goes and to be offered the country experience alongside the family love that her home offers is topped to your service for an affordable price.”
“Would love to have her to oversee Titus anytime. She kept me informed at all times. He loved his company. Her family is very welcoming. I’m thankful that she was available to assist me at the spur of the moment. I’m really satisfied with overall service Rover provides for my pet Monster Titus. Rick”
About: We have raised and take care of all three of our dogs! We also pet sit my sister’s Golden Retriever sometimes! This includes feeding, walking, playing, exercising, bathing, etc. We have crate and potty trained all three of our personal pets. Our dogs sleep with us at night and are allowed on our furniture. Any dog we keep is treated like our own! My husband and I both work full time jobs, but my husband Brandon is a school teacher so he is home all summer. Your dogs are rarely ever crated… only if we have an errand to run. Our typical weekend is spent at the dog park, in the drive thru at Dunkin’ for pup cups, and lounging on the couch! My husband is home during the summer, and we have a fenced in backyard, so the dogs are let out to play and potty multiple times during the day. We feed our dogs twice a day- once in the morning & once at night, but let us know if you have a different schedule and we will keep your dog on it! We have three dogs of our own that sleep with us at night and are allowed on our furniture. Blu is three and loves to play with new friends! Ellie is four and would prefer to lay on her bed and chew her bone! Any dog we keep is treated like our own!
“They were super nice and gave us updates anytime we wanted about the well being of our baby. Would highly recommend them to take care of your fur baby while you are on vacation.”
“We were extremely happy with the care our 3 dogs received while in Shaquitas home! The pictures we were sent were comforting because they seemed relaxed and also like they were having fun!”
“Stephanie and her family provided great care for our fur kid. Our previous sitter canceled on us less than 3 days before we were going away...but Stephanie came to the rescue! We were gone for a week and she provided us with updates and a picture. Our trip even got extended an extra day due to airline issues and Stephanie accomodated Ziggy with no issues. We would definitely use her again!”
“Jessica was great! We had a last minute trip and she was able to accommodate us and worked with our schedule. We knew from the meet and great that Gus would be in good hands. We received pictures and videos and Gus looked happy and like he was having a fantastic time’ Gus was comfortable and made himself right at home! Definitely recommend them and will use again!”
“Danielle was an absolute lifesaver for us! My senior dog has anxiety, and has never stayed with a non-family member, so leaving her for 5 days was initially a bit daunting. However, Danielle was incredibly patient and understanding, and her calm demeanor really helped my pup settle in. Daily text updates and photos provided peace of mind. The photos clearly showed that she was comfortable and captured adorable moments of her relaxing. It was evident how well my dog was cared for. Danielle followed all instructions, and the home was clean. Booking is highly recommended!”
“Ben did a wonderful job taking care of my high energy puppy! He provided excellent communication before and during the booking. I appreciated the daily updates along with photos of how my girl was doing while we were away. I could tell she was well loved, cared for, and played with! I also appreciate how he went above and beyond to help her be comfortable while in his care. I will definitely use him again!”
“Heather was great! She took our pups pretty last minute and even let us come over first to see her place. She was very responsive and our pups seemed to have a good time. We definitely recommend Heather and will be using her again!”
“Tiffany took such great care of Ted, I will not hesitate to make sure she takes care of him next time I go out of town. If you are looking for someone that is going to take care of your pup like they are her own, this is your go to!”
“Shume was very accommodating with my schedule, as well as with Kona, my 9 month old Labradoodle. She immediately sent me pictures of Kona playing with her own dog, which made me feel like Kona was enjoying her stay with Shume. I'll definitely use her in the future when I need care for Kona.”
“Ashley & Spencer were awesome hosts for my pup. I got pictures everyday and it looked like he was well taken care of. Their dog, Engy, was surely a great friend and made vacation extra fun for my dog. Great communication and very accommodating - I’ll be glad to have them hangout with my dog again in the future!”
“Barbara and Keith are prepared and thorough dog sitters! They have an outdoor space setup to keep pets out of the dirt and weather, but entertained and active. They took our bernedoodle on multiple walks a day and played games with her. We had a meet and greet prior to our pet’s stay and I received pictures and communication while she was there. Great care and peace of mind!”
“Deborah made my pup's stay wonderful! My dog is quirky and part chihuahua, so she has her not-easy moments, but Deborah was kind and had my pup sleeping on her lap in no time. I appreciate the photos and the good communication.”
