“This was the first time I was apart from my dog for more than two days and the first day that I left the dog with a non relative. It was great to have someone as responsive and responsible as Vincent taking care of my dog. It is clear that Vincent loves dogs and does a great job taking care of them. When I picked my dog up it was clear he had a good week, was healthy, well fed and very happy.”
“Nervana and her family were wonderful with our 2 dogs. We used her for a full week while we went away on vacation. She was super communicative, giving us updates with pictures and videos daily. Our dogs were very happy and it was obvious she provided a caring and loving environment for them. Would 100% recommend Nervana.... :)”
“Jane was so lovely and her dog Fancy is so cute! Our puppers needed a one night boarding while we were at a wedding. Jane took great care of him and sent so many photos, videos, and updates throughout the night and the next morning. She asked great questions if she was unsure of things. I loved the communication and flexibility Jane provided. Our dog was so happy when we came back to pick him up which let us know he had a great time at Jane’s! Would definitely recommend as a sitter!”
“I had a great experience ! Jacqueline and her beautiful family provided excellent care for my pet in a safe and loving environment. I received regular updates with photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend her!”
“Ekaterina and family did a lovely job hosting our senior dog Gil! He returned home happy and relaxed. She sent lots of photos and updates. Thank you so much.”
“Emerald was lovely and communicative! She sent me lots of photos of my dog and hers playing and hanging out together while I was away, and she was very flexible and understanding regarding arrival and pickup times. Stevie clearly had a wonderful time <3”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. My family and I have raised over 20 dogs. There is no pet or child in my current house so we are open to overnight stay. I am currently working for myself as a stuffed-animal plush seller. So I have plenty of time playing with your pup. I am available every weekday after 10 a.m. I have a fenced yard and dogs can have a great time playing there. The community near my home is quiet, safe and pet-friendly. We will have a great time together.
“Yiqi took excellent care of our dog, Tessa. She sent pictures and videos everyday and it was clear that Tessa bonded with Yiqi. We will definitely be sending Tessa back to stay with Yiqi.”
“This was our first time leaving our two dogs in the care of Ka and her husband. The past few days have gone extremely well. We were constantly provided pictures and videos of the dogs during their stay, and Ka was always available to chat and give updates throughout the day. We felt extremely comfortable leaving our dogs with them. Highly recommending for anybody!”

My workday follows a consistent routine, allowing me to provide dependable pet care before and after school, as well as on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I enjoy spending my free time caring for animals by taking them on walks, engaging them in playtime, and making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship. During the summer and other school vacations, I have even greater flexibility to provide extended care, overnight stays, or multiple daily visits. Being a teacher has also strengthened my ability to stay calm, follow detailed instructions, and recognize individual needs, which helps me provide personalized care for every pet. Whether it’s maintaining feeding schedules, administering medication, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away, you can count on me to provide reliable and compassionate care every time.

About: Hi! I have loved dogs my entire life and grew up around them. For the past three years, I have been raising my own dog and have gained valuable experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I am home for most of the day, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention. All pet care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, and monitoring, is personally handled by me. I have experience caring for puppies and understand that every dog is unique. Some dogs may be energetic, shy, anxious, or still learning good habits. I am patient and willing to work with each dog’s individual personality and routine. I currently have a friendly and playful Shiba Inu puppy who enjoys meeting other dogs. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. Please let me know about your dog’s routines, preferences, medical needs, or anything that helps them feel comfortable. I will do my best to make their stay enjoyable and stress-free. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m home for most of the day, so I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and supervision. I have a fenced backyard and a playful shiba inu to keep your fur baby company. Because I already care for my own dog, feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping a clean environment are all built into my schedule.
“Kecia is so wonderful and took such great care of my pup, Luna! She is communicative, kind, and attentive. Would absolutely use her again and will reco her to anyone who needs a sitter”
“Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!”
“Doris is amazing! I almost don't want to give a review in case she will get booked up by other people and then Milo won't get to stay with her. Doris is very attentive and always sends pics and Milo comes home happy. I trust that Milo whi started going to Doris as a puppy, is in good hands with her and her daughter.”
“Patricia is a very warm and generous person. My pup had a lot of fun and I could tell from the pictures she sent me everyday while he was staying with her. Highly recommended! Thank you.”

Prices are estimates per visit. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I haven’t personally owned cats, since my mother is allergic. However! I’ve cared for my older sister’s kitties and my aunt’s fuzzy babies since I was a teenager. I try to approach with gentle, warm energy and respect. Because, let’s face it, cats expect nothing less than the best.
“Jenna was amazing with my very sick kitty. We had to leave for a few days right after he became ill. She went TWICE a day for him and was communicative the whole time. She was able to give him medicine and she even went above and beyond to clean up after his sickness which I did not want her to have to do. Such a peace of mind while we were gone to know he was well cared for.”
“Lin was amazing with Simba and Sydney! She took such great care of them, played with them, and treated them like her own. She even brought over a can of wet food for them to try, which was so thoughtful. I really appreciated all the updates and the love she gave them. She also brought a letter from her cat, Wednesday, and my cats loved it! I came home to two very happy cats. Thank you so much, Lin! I’ll definitely book with you again.”
About: I have taken care of my neighborhood dogs for the past few years. I have also been setting up occurring dog play dates around my neighborhood and dog walks. I am currently working remotely and am pretty flexible when it comes to walking dogs or stopping by for a drop-in visit. I am available Mondays to Thursdays and occasionally over the weekends as well. I regularly walk my dog Bandi; and create a safe and inclusive community by setting up dog play dates with the dogs in my neighborhood.
About: I raised two cats since year 2020. I know that every cat has a distinct purr-sonality. My priority is keeping your feline friend safe, happy, and strictly on schedule while you are away.
“We truly hit the pet-sitter jackpot. I hesitate to leave this review for fear that Tammy will become so beloved across Rover she will no longer have time for us! From the moment we met Tammy, it was clear our cats were possibly in better hands than our own (honestly, they seemed a little disappointed when we came back). Updates were consistent, thoughtful, and often included photos that looked like they belonged in a pet lifestyle magazine—somehow capturing both chaos and cuteness in equal measure. Our home was cared for, our girls were happy, and we’re fairly certain they learned better manners while we were gone which raises some questions about our own management style. What really stood out was the genuine care and attention—this wasn’t just “checking in,” it was full-on VIP treatment. Visits weren’t rushed, playtime wasn’t optional, and every detail was handled like it mattered (because it does). If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and clearly loved by animals, stop looking—you’ve found them. Just be warned: your pets may start expecting this level of service from you afterward. I still haven't mastered Tammy's double-Churu-dispensing skills, and the judgment from our girls is palpable.”
About: Working at PetSmart’s PetsHotel, I developed a keen understanding for these mythical creatures and all their unique wants and needs. My main priority is creating an environment where these graceful companions feel safe and comfortable as ever!
About: I’ve been taking care of cats for years, my own and previous experience at the vet. I know how to trim their nails and deep clean litter boxes. What triggers them, what makes them happy. I love cats so much!
“Always happy with the loving care Noelle provides my kitties. I appreciate the trustworthy service Noelle has provided me. I travel often for work and it breaks my heart to leave them. Everyday she is there I know they will get attention, affection and attention to detail of their care plan.”
“Nervana looked after my cat Basil for 5 nights while I went to tour apartments out of state, and I couldn’t have chosen a better person to leave him with! I was very nervous about leaving him with someone new, but Nervana sent me lots of updates and it looks like Basil thoroughly enjoyed his stay! Thank you again, Nervana!!”
About: I have had cats my entire life and currently share our home with two of our own! we get how unique each cats personality and routine can be! whether its playtime, feeding, litter care, or just giving them quiet companionship, I treat every cat as my own!
“Jacqueline watched our cat Nugget (drop-in visits) while we were away recently and did an amazing job! He was well cared for according to the instructions we left. She provided detailed updates at every visit and even managed to get some pictures of him even though he is extremely shy. She is also quick to respond to messages. I highly recommend her and would use her again!”

About: Hello fellow animal lovers. I am a Veterinary Technician with over 20 years of experience for caring for hundreds of dogs, cats, birds and any kind of animal you can think of. My husband Andres is also a vet tech with over 15 years of experience and he helps me take care of any of the pets I watch. I used to mainly watch dogs in my home but since Covid we had a baby and she is allergic to dogs so I can't board in my home anymore which makes me very sad. Hopefully my daughter will grow out of her allergies eventually because we really do miss having dogs in our home and she loves dogs too. So now I can only do drop in visits at your home for any type of pet. I am currently not working and am a stay at home Mom but my daughter is in school now so I can do drop ins during school hours and then after my husband comes home from work in the evenings. We currently have 2 senior cats at home and I have had many of my own cats that I have loved and taken care of over the years. I have taken care of hundreds of cats as a Veterinary Technician over the years in all stages of life and many types of illnesses and diseases. I have worked with all types and many different breeds of cats as well. I have experience with cats with all different types of personalities and behavioral issues and try to take my time with any of them that are fearful and try to gain their trust and show them that I just want to show them love like you do. I was trained to practice fear free medicine as a vet tech. I have dedicated my life to caring for and helping all animals and I have loved every second of it. I have experience with every age, breed, species and medical problem. I have years of experience of caring for any illness, physical and behavioral problems and administering any medications or medical treatments necessary. I have had many dogs, cats and other small creatures of my own that i have loved and cared for over the years as well. I have a car and can travel to any part of Staten Island. Nothing makes me happier than spending time and playing with as many little fur babies as i can. You can set your mind at ease knowing that experienced, caring veterinary technicians are caring for your precious baby while you are away.

“Nervana was quick to respond and very accommodating. Apollo was tired when he got home (exactly what I wanted) - she took him on a nice walk! Thank you Nervana. I highly recommend her and I would absolutely drop Apollo off again”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our dog!! Very welcoming, caring, and understanding; my dog is very happy and had a great time during the day. Excellent communication throughout the day and the updates of ace were so cute! 10/10 would definitely contact again to take care of my fur baby in the future🩷”
About: Growing up, I have always looked after dogs of close friends and family, and have studied nutrition and health, which led me to work at a pet hotel for about a year with almost every dog breed. My responsibilities included prepping food, cleaning, 1 on 1 play, and group play. I have been in charge of up to 20 dogs at 1 time. I also co-own a dog named Luna. The other owner and I had Luna since she was a puppy and she is now 5 years old. I teach obedience/behavior training to many dogs and I develop trust with dogs that is unique to my experience with various breeds. It takes patience and consistency to be a great leader for dogs and I wear my heart on my sleeve for every dog I'm caring for; communication with your dog is key. I currently work with dogs full time and make Dog care apart of my every day routine, if I'm not with my dog I'm working with other dogs. I have a good size open backyard and toys depending on the play style of your dog; crate training is much appreciated if they are familiar. Walks are frequent, especially for high energy dogs

About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do it’s something I love. With over seven years of hands on experience, I’ve worked with pups of all ages, from energetic puppies who need structure and play, to senior dogs who deserve gentle care and patience. But what truly sets me apart isn’t just my background it’s how I show up for every dog I meet. I believe dogs need more than just food and potty breaks they thrive on connection, routine, and fun. Whether it’s going on engaging walks, getting in some solid playtime, working on basic training, or just lounging with belly rubs and calm companionship, I focus on giving each dog exactly what they need to feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pet. That’s why I keep you updated, send pics, and make sure your pup is not only well cared for, but genuinely enjoying their time Believe your dog is in great hands. Pet care is a daily priority, including feeding, exercise, and affection, ensuring seamless integration into my routine, prioritizing furry companions' well-being, and with weekly tasks like grooming and vet visits ensuring their well-being. In my client's home, I tailor pet care to their specific needs, providing feeding, exercise, and companionship. Home care varies based on service type and client preferences.
“Janis took great care of Freya and kept me updated through the day. She was able to sit for me on short notice and was awesome throughout the whole process. Thank you!”
About: I work from home on most days. I have a sweet 3 year old Labradoodle, about 45 pounds. I’d love for him to have a buddy to socialize with during the day. I have an apartment with fake grass on the balcony for potty breaks. I also live near Silver Lake Park for long walks. Small dogs only please. I work from home full time. I am available most days and rarely leave the house for more than an hour or two during my the workday. I have a dog crate, plus a dog gate to allow for stretches. Dogs are free to roam the apartment and sit on the balcony for fresh air.
About: Hi, my name is Neshie! I’ve had dogs my whole life, and nothing makes me happier than being surrounded by them. I currently have a Boxer and a Pitbull/Schnauzer mix, and we’re always going on walks, hikes, and park adventures together. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I also volunteer at AMA Animal Rescue, where I work with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments including anxious, fearful, and reactive pups. I also spend time with the cats there, making sure they get love and enrichment too! Between my own dogs, my shelter experience, and my time on Rover, I’ve had the chance to work with so many unique personalities and needs, and I truly love it all. I work from home full time, so my schedule is super flexible and allows me to offer everything from drop in visits and dog walks to daycare and overnight boarding. Whether your pup just needs a quick check in and potty break or a full day of play, I’ve got you covered! Your pet will always come first with me, and I will ensure their safety. I’ll always follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime and adapt to their energy level. I’m patient, attentive, and will make sure they feel safe and comfortable during our walks.

About: Don’t tell anyone, but I might prefer dogs/cats over people! My day is always brightened when I get to take care of and spend quality time with a furry companion. I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have family who have cats that I’ve cared for. I’m taking a break from corporate life to focus on doing what I enjoy.

About: I bring a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, along with the patience and compassion I've developed helping care for my grandmother. Growing up with a dog of my own and being surrounded by dogs through family and friends has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. Helping care for my grandmother has strengthened my sense of responsibility, attentiveness, and empathy. I've learned the importance of noticing the little things, maintaining routines, and providing comfort and companionship. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior who needs extra patience and gentle care, I'll treat them with the same kindness and attention I would give my own family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, and after 1 PM on Saturdays. While I work in a pediatrics office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, I am able to check on pets before work, during my break, and again after work to ensure they receive consistent care, companionship, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine and will do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take the time to learn each pet's needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medications, and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and potty breaks while ensuring they feel secure and loved. In a client's home, I respect their space and work to keep their pet's routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. In my home, pets are welcomed into a clean, safe, and caring environment where they receive supervision, companionship, and plenty of love. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make their time away from their family as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
About: DAYS AND TIMES I AM UNAVAILABLE: (Rover doesn’t allow me to schedule times I am available) TUE 7/21 - 10am-9pm FRI 7/24 - 4pm-9pm I took care of my senior dog and administered her medications. I also worked at the Petsmart PetsHotel where I took care of and cleaned up after cats and dogs. I take care of my cat, grooming, playing, feed her, and I clean up after her. I also had a job with the dogs and cats in the Petsmart PetsHotel. Something you should also know is that I do have part time job and I am in school, so my schedule is always changing, but we can always work something out!
About: I’ve owned my pug, Pinky, for 14 years and have grown up with her. During this time, I’ve gradually grown attentive to her needs and different emotions depending on her body language. We adopted Fendi 4 years ago, and I’ve learned to multitask with their age difference and introduce unfamiliar dogs in a safe manner. I’m currently staying home from college and am looking to spend my free time doing something I love. I have two dogs at home that I currently take care of, and would love to be able to provide a safe and comforting environment for other dogs as well. I have two friendly dogs and a fenced yard with plenty of space for them to play. I also have a crate and extra dog supplies if needed.
“Alexis has a special touch with the animals. Our dog doesn’t like strangers, but from the first contact with Alexis the trust was established. We definitely knew that we could trust her with our dog, and that our dog trusted her. We were very happy with Alexis’ services - always came over on time, sent the pictures and poop/pee reports, etc.”
“Noelle is an absolute gem! This was her first meeting with Finn, and it couldn’t have gone better. From the moment they met, it was clear she has a natural way with dogs—Finn instantly adored her! Not only does she make sure Finn gets plenty of exercise, but she also keeps me updated with adorable photos, which gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving hands. She’s reliable, friendly, and truly goes the extra mile to make sure Finn is happy and well cared for. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and all-around wonderful dog walker, Noelle is the one! Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I truly treat animals like family, and I know how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable and updated while they’re away. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their normal routine. I’m dependable, communicative, and pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs — whether that means extra playtime for energetic dogs, patience with shy or anxious pets, or a slower pace and gentle care for senior dogs. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy making time for. I’m used to planning my days around feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and consistency they need. I care for animals every day, including feeding and looking after stray cats in my area, so caring for pets feels very natural to me and is something I’m committed to year-round. I enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and giving pets companionship, exercise, and comfort while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and sleep schedules closely so pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship — not just the basics. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they always know how their pet is doing. For dogs, I focus on safe walks, play, bathroom breaks, and making sure they get enough activity and affection based on their energy level and personality. For cats, I understand the importance of patience and routine, especially with shy or anxious cats, and I make sure litter boxes, feeding areas, and water stay clean and fresh. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and comfort and will always let owners know right away if something seems unusual. My goal is for pets to feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. 🐾
“Molly is such a sweet heart who really cares about the animals she is taking care of. She was a life saver for Christmas, she came twice to walk my Callie so I could celebrate with my family. She was prompt for time and handled Callie well. I will definitely being using her again!! Highly recommend her!”

My responsibilities included prepping food, cleaning, 1 on 1 play, and group play. I have been in charge of up to 20 dogs at 1 time. I also co-own a dog named Luna. The other owner and I had Luna since she was a puppy and she is now 5 years old. I teach obedience/behavior training to many dogs and I develop trust with dogs that is unique to my experience with various breeds. It takes patience and consistency to be a great leader for dogs and I wear my heart on my sleeve for every dog I'm caring for; communication with your dog is key. I currently work with dogs full time and make Dog care apart of my every day routine, if I'm not with my dog I'm working with other dogs. I have a good size open backyard and toys depending on the play style of your dog; crate training is much appreciated if they are familiar. Walks are frequent, especially for high energy dogs

“This was the first time I was apart from my dog for more than two days and the first day that I left the dog with a non relative. It was great to have someone as responsive and responsible as Vincent taking care of my dog. It is clear that Vincent loves dogs and does a great job taking care of them. When I picked my dog up it was clear he had a good week, was healthy, well fed and very happy.”
“Nervana and her family were wonderful with our 2 dogs. We used her for a full week while we went away on vacation. She was super communicative, giving us updates with pictures and videos daily. Our dogs were very happy and it was obvious she provided a caring and loving environment for them. Would 100% recommend Nervana.... :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. My family and I have raised over 20 dogs. There is no pet or child in my current house so we are open to overnight stay. I am currently working for myself as a stuffed-animal plush seller. So I have plenty of time playing with your pup. I am available every weekday after 10 a.m. I have a fenced yard and dogs can have a great time playing there. The community near my home is quiet, safe and pet-friendly. We will have a great time together.
“Yiqi took excellent care of our dog, Tessa. She sent pictures and videos everyday and it was clear that Tessa bonded with Yiqi. We will definitely be sending Tessa back to stay with Yiqi.”

About: Hi! I have loved dogs my entire life and grew up around them. For the past three years, I have been raising my own dog and have gained valuable experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I am home for most of the day, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention. All pet care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, and monitoring, is personally handled by me. I have experience caring for puppies and understand that every dog is unique. Some dogs may be energetic, shy, anxious, or still learning good habits. I am patient and willing to work with each dog’s individual personality and routine. I currently have a friendly and playful Shiba Inu puppy who enjoys meeting other dogs. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. Please let me know about your dog’s routines, preferences, medical needs, or anything that helps them feel comfortable. I will do my best to make their stay enjoyable and stress-free. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m home for most of the day, so I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and supervision. I have a fenced backyard and a playful shiba inu to keep your fur baby company. Because I already care for my own dog, feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping a clean environment are all built into my schedule.
“Patricia is a very warm and generous person. My pup had a lot of fun and I could tell from the pictures she sent me everyday while he was staying with her. Highly recommended! Thank you.”
“Chloe is amazing. She took Nox on long walks and gave him tons of adventures on his short stay. Its one thing to look after someone’s dog, its another entirely different thing to give them a 5-star spa experience. They visited the koi pond & spent a lot of time outside, which is Nox’s favorite place to be. Thank you so much! We will be back 💕”
“Michael and his wife are the best! They took care of my 3 year old cockapoo as if he was their own. Going away and not being able to take your furbaby is hard, but Michael and Durell provide such a great sense of relief. The constant photos and updates of how he was doing were so helpful and brought us such peace. We were able to see how well Kobe was doing and that he was enjoying himself. We highly recommend them! We will definitely be using them for all of our vacations ☺️”
“Pamela and her lovely family were perfect hosts for our pup! He got plenty of walks and cuddles, and she sent regular updates. Chester had a great time, and didn't even realize we were gone, ha!”
“She’s a wonderful sitter, she sends photos of my dog while we were away, and made sure that it was well taken care off. I highly recommend her to be your dog sitter too!”
“We are very lucky that found Ziming! She’s great with dogs, Wilson loved staying at her place and made friends with Oak and Penta ! He had a lot of fun playing in the backyard and chasing for other pups. Also, was surprised that there is a room for dogs which is nice! We got pictures and videos throughout the day!”
“Erica is a fantastic sitter!! She made my senior pup Ruby feel comfortable and happy and sent me awesome detailed updates with adorable pics along the way :) Very grateful to have such a reliable, kind and responsible sitter in the area and can’t wait for Ruby to stay with her again soon! Thank you again!!”
“Lorrie is always our first choice as a dog sitter! We have a large breed dog and it can be hard to find someone to watch him. Lorrie is amazing with him, always sending us pictures and video updates on how much fun he is having with the other dogs! We are so grateful to her!”
“Troy had another great stay with Lorraine and we are so lucky she was available in a pinch for a family emergency. Thank you for taking care of our first born!”
“Wonderful care! Our dog felt completely at home and was in great shape after her stay with Margaret. Super responsive and helpful, will definitely board our dog with her again.”
