“Meghan was awesome, she took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay, she's also a great photographer so you'd get nice shots of your pets, a 100% recommended.”
“Yakelin is a miracle worker! She was not only available last minute, but was expertly qualified to handle our 2 husky puppies! The most impressive part is that they came back even more well behaved than when we dropped them off! I wish I could leave 100 stars!!!”
“Maytte and her mother were such a great fit for my Dupong. My dog was treated like family and I received frequent updates. I will definitely work with Mayette again 😊”
“Kiera took such wonderful care of my senior guy! I dropped him off at her home while I moved into my new place and I had such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Kiera sent me pics and videos of Chico playing and out on walks with her sweet senior girl! I will definitely bring Chico back to Kiera’s in the future.”
“It appears Nicholas enjoyed his time with Mary too much! He has been moping around the house getting used to a home without more people and pets. It was great receiving daily pictures and the care couldn’t have been more loving. I will definitely try to book with Mary whenever I travel in the future.”
About: I'm an enthusiastic dog walker and sitter that has a passion for dogs and rescuing them. I have been involved in dog rescue and fostering in the Syracuse area for a number of years. I've cared for a number of my own dogs and cats from young to seniors. I've also been a foster parent to a number of dogs when rescues needed someone. I can handle the most challenging of dogs down to little babies and everything in between. Your dog will get plenty of love and attention when I'm around! I give all dogs the same love and affection I would give my own dog and see the importance of cuddle and buddy time along with good exercise. I show confidence when I'm with a dog so that they know there is trust with me from the beginning. I currently work part time, so have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I am always available after 3:00 p.m. during the week, before 8:00 a.m. or anytime on the weekends. I've got a very pet friendly home. I live in a single story, ranch house that has a fully fenced back yard. I do not have children at home that we would need to worry about and I'm very respectful if needed to go into a client's home. Safety and security are always at the forefront.
“The Huijin household was wonderful to work with, and they were outstanding with my baby boy. I would recommend them to anyone, and will definitely attempt to use them again in the future.”
“Nina was a lifesaver! She was able to schedule a meet and greet, and book our dog for the weekend with short notice. She was very communicative. We received updates, and pictures, which was so appreciated. Our dog seemed very content during his stay with Nina. We are looking forward to using her again!”
“Georgianne was a great sitter. She posted picks regularly and gave me updates on how my cat was doing. She also responded very quickly whenever I messaged her. I would definitely leave my cat with Georgianne again.”
“Christine and Matt were great! My dog seemed to fit in perfectly with their two pups and they gave me daily updates! I would definitely recommend.... Look forward to using them again.”
“Deborah tool such good care of our Henry and was very patient with him and took the time to understand his needs. He seemed to have so much fun. We booked last minute and she was so accommodating. Very appreciative to have a worry free few days away knowing he was in good hands.”
“Although my schedule was very indefinite Susan was flexible and I so appreciated this! Her care was excellent as evidenced by my dog bolting into her home as I dropped her off for her ‘vacation’…”
“Absolutely love Marisol! She’s sweet, caring, nurturing, and holds a safe space for our puppy. Zero complaints about her service and will continue to book her as much as we can.”
“Erix was amazing! Super friendly and professional. He took great care of my boy Glacier and sent pictures and videos to keep me updated on how things were going. I definitely recommend him if you're looking for a sitter for your fur babies! Thank you again Erix for everything! You made everything feel safe and smooth caring for my boy.”
“Margaret was Sooo amazing! Last minute bookingand a new to being boarded kitty. It was great I got to learn how my kitty would respond in such a healthy environment.”
“Jocelyn ha been amazing! She is very responsive and keeps me informed all the way thru each pet- sitting experience with photos and texts throughout the day. She is so loving with my girl and always takes such good care of her! Highly recommend!!”
“Jose was great! Attentive, communicative, and active with my pups! Walked them, let them run around the fenced in yard, and lots of pics of them lounging on the couch :) would 100% book again!”

“Picked up my check-in request on short notice and met up the next day to go over everything and get the key. Was communicative and made sure my 9 month old cat got through the few days I was gone. Stinky Pete approved”
About: I've cared for cats since I was little, but my passion for animal care has grown even more through my experience as an intern at the ASPCA. Recently, my own rescue cat, whom I adopted, was diagnosed with kidney disease. Caring for her has taught me the importance of administering medication, monitoring her health, and providing consistent, compassionate care. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to improving the lives of animals and pursuing a career dedicated to their well-being.
“Jaime wa phenomenal! She took such amazing car of my kitties and followed directions perfectly! She is welcome anytime in our home! She has made 3 new best friends with my kitties heheh. She sent the best pictures daily! I'm so thankful for her! Thank you Jamie!”
“Margaret was Sooo amazing! Last minute bookingand a new to being boarded kitty. It was great I got to learn how my kitty would respond in such a healthy environment.”
“Juliette was amazing again for both of our dogs while we were working/ away. We trust her as she takes great care of them and great care of our house! Would definitely recommend Juliette to anyone!”
“Alison & Robert were amazing sitters for my cat. They were friendly and quick to reply while booking and provided so much communication (including photos and videos) while watching my cat which made me feel so much better while away. It is clear that they both adore animals and are experienced watching them. Will absolutely be booking Alison & Robert again!”
“Sara is excellent company when I’m home alone! She knows my favorites and gives lots of love, play time, and even gives me the best treats! Sara is the best sitter when I'm not traveling and have a stay-cation instead! Thank you, Sara!!! Love, Bandit”
“Vanessa was absolutely incredible this weekend while pet sitting Tonor, Ink, Hunter, and Tux! From the moment she arrived, it was clear how knowledgeable and genuinely caring she is. With her zoology background and zookeeper experience, I felt completely confident that my crew was in the best hands possible. She kept everyone enriched, fed, hydrated, and happy and the photos she sent throughout the stay were amazing. Tonor and Ink looked relaxed and cozy, Hunter was his curious self, and Tux enjoyed every minute of attention (and treats!). Vanessa captured their personalities perfectly, and it was obvious they were comfortable, entertained, and loved the entire time. Communication was fast, clear, and consistent. She checked in often, sent Rover Cards, and made sure I always knew how things were going. I genuinely felt peace of mind the whole weekend. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pets with the same care you do but Vanessa really does. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and truly passionate about animals. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Highly recommend Grazé! They took amazing care of my cat, Blade, and made sure he was comfortable, loved, and well looked after while I was away. I really appreciated the updates, attention to detail, and genuine care they showed. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Thank you again!”
About: I have grown up with cats in my home since the day I was brought home from the hospital. At a young age I learned proper care for senior cats and followed them to vet visits. I fostered two kittens in 2015 at the age of nine, then rescuing them to make them my own. I potty-trained them, gave proper kitten food, and spent an enormous amount of time with them to teach them love and happiness. Now, they are 11 years old and have grown to be incredibly friendly with others and their idea of fun is cuddling and purring all day. My 16 year old cat I have at home is still very playful and youthful even though he has had trouble with health. I feed him special food for his kidney health and have him drink lots of water everyday which has kept him healthy for the past five years.
“Deborah was responsive and paid lots of attention to my fur babies while I was out of town. I hadn't used the drop-in feature over Rover before and felt a little odd about having a stranger come into my house while I was away, but there was obviously nothing to worry about and Deborah left my place neater than I did. I got lots of picture updates and Deborah reached out for additional clarification to make sure my cats were being cared for correctly when needed.”
“Morgan was AMAZING!!! She watched my two bunnies while I went on vacation and I think they like her more than me. I have never seen my bunnies more happy! Morgan was the first person (not a family member) who watched them and I will definitely be using her in the future!”
“This was our second time booking Kilie for our two finicky cats. She was totally on top of things, and everything went perfectly smoothly. Having someone we can trust, and who’s so easy to work with, makes us feel much more comfortable traveling away from home, even just for a day or two. Thanks again, Kilie! We’ll be booking again soon!”
“Georgianne was so responsive and easy to work with. She handled both of my cats with ease and was just an overall wonderful person. I would definitely recommend her!”
“I'm so happy we chose Sophia to care for our kitties! She is communicative, responsible, and very caring when interacting with our pets. I appreciated the daily videos, photos, and updates she always provided. I will definitely use her again next time I am on vacation.”
“Zuhal is the easily the best sitter I’ve dealt with. She’s been my go-to for about a year now and she’s always been patient, professional, and caring. For example, one time I stupidly forgot to leave my keys for her so she could enter and she was patient enough to wait at my residence until someone could drop off the keys. If you have any doubts about finding a reliable pet-sitter, then you’ve found the right one with Zuhal.”

“Suanny took good care of our furry girl and was flexible and responsive with drop off and pick up. Brownie was very happy and calm at pick up. Highly recommend!”
“She was amazing! Neemo has a lot of anxiety and she took care of him and made him feel at ease! I've never seen him come back so calm after staying with someone. Would definitely work with her again!”
“We are so thankful for Erix. He accommodated us in a pinch. We are in town moving my niece into college and brought her dog, but we couldn’t bring him to the dorm. We had to switch hotels but weren’t able to get an early check in so we needed to figure a plan for our little Coco for just a few hours. I saw Erix’s profile and he had so many amazing reviews and he responded right away. Everything worked out perfectly and Erix was so sweet and took awesome care of our dog.”
“Gunner enjoyed his stay and we felt relieved with him in Diana’s care. Very lovely young lady with best interest of pups in mind. Would use her again. She was awesome with last minute request. Thank you!!”
“Eden not only cares for Luna but understands her uniqueness and sensitivity. Luna is playful and relaxed at their loving home. Thank you Eden and Gal and Happy Holidays! ⭐️❤️”
“Our usual sitter Chelsea was unavailable and recommended Marisol. Isla loved her time with Marisol and Benito! This is the first real off leash (fenced in yard) play she's had with a dog closer to her size and she loved it. They really made her feel welcome and taken care of and all that play left her tuckered out. We even got ideas for a couple new toys for her.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and prioritize clear communication with regular updates and photos. I have a fully fenced in backyard (although I can also take your pet for walks as well if preferred!) and am available to give lots of cuddles all day as I work from home full time! I work remote full time and have a fully fenced in back yard so I am able to watch your dog or cat full time. On the weekends I am usually out hiking or with friends, and can take your pet on those adventures as well! I also have a small 30 lb house trained and friendly doggy named Ramsey who is always down to play and/or nap :) I am able to give your pet around the clock care as I work from home, and my dog Ramsey is always ready to make new friends! I do allow pets on the furniture, just not in my bed, and have a fully fenced in yard for playtime, as well as the ability to take your furry friend on walks as well! Please let me know what your needs are, I want their stay to be as comfortable as possible!
About: (Saying up front that I am not comfortable using a prong collar, so if that’s something you use on your dog, I don’t believe I’m a right fit for the service you want. Please don’t invite me to your home and surprise me with a prong collar—I will not use it on your dog.) Now here’s my bio: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.
About: I have found a way to connect with young or old cats and dogs of all kinds through a patient, loving approach. I make animals as eager as I am to learn behavioral skills while letting them express their personality. In 2015, I fostered two kittens at the age of nine. I then rescued and made them my own. I've had cats in my household my entire life, so I am trained to take care of kittens, adult cats, and senior cats of all personality types. In 2026, I began volunteering at local animal shelters to look after dogs of all sizes and breeds. For three months of 2026, I became a full-time nanny for a two month old Portuguese Water Dog. I trained her basic skills like sit, down, and paw. I trained her behavioral skills with teething, biting, potty training, walking next to me, and not running to other people or dogs during walks. On top of that, I taught her fun tricks like high five, play dead, and spinning. I am currently a full-time college student at Syracuse University. I have classes Monday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday from 12-4. I can fit taking care of pets anytime around my class schedule as that is my only big time commitment at the moment. I live in a apartment, so if I care for pets in my own place there wouldn't be a whole lot of room, but I can still manage it if needed for care outside of your home. In your home, I will stay in the respected areas you choose (living room, basement) and get an understanding from you where to get their food, water, toys, etc. If you have a yard, I can play with dogs outside. I have a car so I am able to transport dogs to parks, trails, my apartment, etc.
About: I have been blessed to care for 3 dogs, 4 cats, 1 cockatiel, 3 ferrets and countless goldfish in my lifetime. Most recently was my beloved King Charles Cavalier Spaniel Piper. Piper developed a heart condition (common amongst KCCS) and daily medication was prescribed. 3 times a day Piper and I would enjoy some peanut butter or cheese to help get the medication down. I am very familiar with senior dogs and their special needs I am retired and currently work 2 days a week part-time. I’m available the rest of the days when you need me, special circumstances always taken into consideration I have a fully fenced yard for your fur baby to explore, get some sunshine and just romp around. I have a crate if your preferences would require one
“My little dog, Honeybun, has separation anxiety. Leidy was so patient and kind that it put Honeybun right at ease. I definitely recommend Leidy and will be using her for doggy daycare in the future.”
“Michelle is always incredible with our girl. Tofu comes home with the biggest smile on her face and always smells wonderful. I think “Miss Michelle” (what we call her to Tofu) must keep an incredibly tidy and lovely-smelling home :)”
“Ginnie was fabulous! We were in the area for a wedding and she watched our pup for the day so we could enjoy the festivities. She was very helpful and responsive in preparation for the day. Our pup had an awesome time playing with her dogs in her lovely yard, and she sent us updates throughout the day. We would definitely leave our fur baby in Ginnie’s care again!”
“Tofu got to spend time with Brent—booked last minute for a forgotten work meeting—and even went for a ride in the car! She came home safe, clean, and happy. We absolutely trust Brent with our girl!”
“Thank you Staci for taking such good care of Bella and coming though with such short notice and being so accommodating and flexible! Will certainly look to reach out to you in the future!”
“Our dogs were well cared for and tired out when we picked them up! Extra attention was given to special dietary instructions for one of them and pick up and drop off was efficient. We were glad to use them again and know they were in good hands!”
About: I’ve owned a dog or two since I could walk. I dog sit for family & friends. I care that they feel safe, loved, & secure while you are out. Their well being matters to me. I currently work partime, 2 days a week. I am available to work your dogs potty breaks and walks around mine pretty easily. I love to walk myself, so walking your pup is easy. I love making our fur babies happy! I have a fenced yard and live in a lovely safe neighborhood to walk dogs. I have room enough inside to throw a ball and play. I care that your dog feels safe and not abandoned. I’ll love them like they were my own.

“Adriana was an incredible help with our nervous dog who can be a bit ~weird~ with strangers; she had our boy snuggling on the couch with her in just one weekend. She gives great updates and calmed every worry we had this weekend.”
“Kaylah was AMAZING!!! Very sweet person, her and Maximus hit it off right as soon as she walken in the door. She walk him everyday as sheduled and even walked him longer than planned. after every walk she sent us pictures of their walk. She feed and watered him after every walk. We will definitely be reaching out to book her again!!! Thanks Kaylah!!”
“Carly was absolutely fantastic! She was perfectly on time, brought a wonderful, positive energy, and came prepared with treats. My pup was clearly happy and excited to walk with her, and I felt instantly comfortable and confident in her care. I'll definitely be booking her again very soon!”

About: With over 20 years of experience handling cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes, I can promise that any pet under my care will receive all the care and attention they need. As I stated, I am very comfortable with both cats and dogs of any breed and any disposition. I am especially experienced handling large dog breeds. I also have experience training dogs and handling older animals. I am also able to administer medication As a teacher, my summers are wide open. I am also available during the school year, with most of my availability being in the late afternoon and evening While in your home, I will maintain a safe and loving environment for your animal. The same care is provided for your pet if it is boarded with me. Boarding amenities include a fenced-in backyard, friendly roommates, and all the cuddles they could want
About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs my whole life of all different breeds, tempers, ages, and energy levels. I have also taken care of fish, horses, turtles and hamsters so I am a true lover of all animals. I am currently working part-time and am a student so i have lots of gaps and free time to take care of pets from being around them frequently so as not to be left alone as well as an active routine so would include dogs in my daily walks and take the time to play with them as well as cats indoors. As an experienced owner of energetic dogs large and small, small pets (hamsters, fish, guinea pigs) and cats of all temperaments (kitten to senior) I am well versed in the necessary activities a pet needs to thrive. Not only is company, food, and bathroom breaks required but also lots of stimulation, play, long walks, and exercise so your pet can flourish.
“John is an excellent dog walker and care taker! Having someone come by my place that I trust is a huge relief. Even in warmer weather Benny still got outside and got great exercise. Thanks so much John!”
About: Schedule-Monday through Friday 6-2:30 I work and weekends off 🫠😁Animals have always been a part of my life growing up. Some of my family has a farm which I got to experience and learn from. I would walk a dog named Molly. She belonged to an older person who struggled with it. All 4 years of high school I was responsible for her grooming, as well as making sure she had plenty of extra love. I truly enjoyed the trust of this pet parent, and Molly that I gained from this time. I wish to continue that commitment now with the pet parents I will be able to meet on here. I truly hope to get the chance to gain your, and your pets trust by reaching there needs. -Christian Rosario My week is surrounded around taking care of my own home and animals. I have flexible hours with my job. If I am unable to be home my girlfriend is there all through the week. She only works weekends as a traveling vet assistant. On those days I am home to reach our animals and your pets needs. They will always be given attention and love. I have a fenced in back yard and two dogs of my own who are trained and help me train other dogs. Both are working emotional support dogs, as we understand they need a purpose to feel a part of the pack. Our house is big enough that no animals have to be together at any point. If this makes pet owners more comfortable and would like there pets separated to enjoy some alone time.
About: I have pet sat for neighbors and family friends for years and for long periods of time. I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs and fish. I also have experience working with reptiles and snakes as an intern for an environment education center. I took care of a box turtle, corn snake, and painted turtle. I am in college full time but am willing to watch or stop by when I am not currently taking a class. I am a junior at SUNY ESF. And have a relatively light schedule that would allow me to dedicate hours to your pet if needed. As I live in an apartment I do not have any pets nor can I board pets. However, I have my own car so I can travel to take care of pets. If you wish to have overnight care I can stay on a couch or blow up mattress by your pet for safe company.
“Jill was absolutely fantastic. She walked our Chihuahua, Mocha, for several days a week over about a month while my wife and I were both working, and she was incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring throughout. Mocha can be anxious around new people and situations, but Jill was patient with her and quickly earned her trust. She always followed our instructions, kept us updated, and went above and beyond by giving attention to our two cats as well, which we really appreciated. Knowing Mocha was in such good hands gave us tremendous peace of mind during the workday. We were sad to see her leave to return to college, but we’re very grateful for all of her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter or dog walker. Thank you, Jill!”

About: My husband and I own our home in the Sedgwick neighborhood, which has a fenced-in backyard and lots of safe space for long walks and playtime. We do not own a dog at the moment, so we have plenty of energy and love to go around! We also have years of experience caring for our dogs and sitting for friends who own dogs in a wide range of sizes and breeds. I pride myself on how well dogs listen to me when I try to train them to listen and maybe try a trick or two to keep their minds engaged and give them an enriching daily life. Please consider hiring us; your furry friends will be safe in very loving and nurturing hands. We both work less than 15 minutes away from home (Mon-Fri, 830-4) with full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. Because of our sedentary work lives, we try to stay active when we're not working with lots of walks and time outside. Owning our own home with a fenced-in yard allows us to give dogs of any size the room to explore and rest wherever they feel comfortable. We are attentive and LOVE the energy that a dog brings to our home. Having a pet around makes all the difference, especially when we can tell that they feel safe and enriched with play and comfort every day. Pet sitting is a win-win-win for us, your pet, and you!
About: I am very responsive and encourage owners to contact me any time while pet or house sitting. I have owned cats, and dogs from big to small all of my life. I am extremely attentive to animal behaviors and ensure friendly care. Cats with who are highly active or generally calm will still receive flexible at home care including but not limited to: Scheduled walks, feeding, playtime, and accident clean up. My availability varies from afternoons, evenings, and early mornings upon request. I am currently working part time and am available primarily during the weekday early afternoons, and late evenings. My weekend availability has morning flexibility upon request, and late afternoons/evenings. I am adaptable and offer services to my clients home for sitting, but am available for walks, playtime, and exercise to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment is maintained. My main source of transportation is driving, which can allow for travel to parks or weather inclement more accessible.
About: Hello! I graduated high school in 2022. During my senior year I attended the Bixhorn Technological Center for Animal Science Boces. There I learned a plethora of skills and knowledge including but not limited to, both animal behavior and phycology, as well as husbandry, nutrition, and grooming. I am trained and capable of administering insulin, as well as I have experience caring for disabled and paralyzed dogs:) I first joined rover in 2024 while attending community college on Long Island, since then I’ve worked a variety of farm jobs as well. Most recently the Suffolk county farm; there I was responsible for the care and livelihood of a variety of livestock from poultry, goats, pigs, llamas, horses, and cows. Please feel free to reach out with questions about farm help as well I would love to do it again! I stepped back from rover this past year for personal reasons, however I just transferred to SUNY ESF and would love to get back into pet care! Right now, I am attending SUNY ESF here in Syracuse NY. I am looking to explore the city and help others with needed pet care :) I am available for overnight care if contacted in advance, but I am always available for regular potty breaks, walks, and play time as needed. I have experience both coming for visits and staying in home for pet sitting,
About: I’ve had pets my whole life (cats and dogs). Currently, my family has 2 dogs and 3 cats. Living away from home for college is difficult without my pets, so I would love to tend to yours as I am missing mine! I’m working part-time while taking classes but always have time for a furry friend (the care goes both ways in my opinion! It’s a win-win). I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and have always cared for them. I ensure a mess free environment and love giving the pets lots of love!
About: Growing up my family owned a dog as well as a cat, and I helped tend to the care of both animals in the home. I believe that having this responsibility engraved in me from a young age has helped shape me to be a solid pet care taker now. I was able to experience first hand the changes in a pets life as they age, both behaviorally and physically. I also have taken care of friends and family’s pets in their homes while they are away, most owning multiple types of pets from dogs, cats, and even bearded dragons. I currently work a full-time job at a bakery. My shifts/days off would be: Tuesday-Friday 4am-2pm Saturday-Sunday open availability For any overnight sitting needs, I will probably do best with an owner looking for a weekend sitter as my 10hr shifts can be a long time away from the home. On the other hand, for any drop in visits or walks I am free after I get out of work at 2pm to assist in any late afternoon care! As well as my open availability on the weekends I can not unfortunately offer to care for pets in my own home, as it is unfenced and has a cat residing that does best as a single pet. This is something I can recognize, so it is best that I come to the clients home. A pet communicates with people in so many ways, and the best way to create a safe environment for both you and the pet is to understand those behaviors. I have a good understanding of reading an animal and when boundaries are being set, whether they are done with play time and need space, or need some extra attention. Any pet care details left by the owner, I follow very closely to give the pet the closest experience they can get to a typical day in the home with the owner.
“Farboud is a great individual who genuinely loves animals. He watched my dog Molly on several occasions, and she always seemed like she had a good time with him. I really appreciated his help and attentiveness to my dog's needs. He over-exceeded my expectations and was a pleasant person to communicate with.”
