"Jared is fantastic. I trust him walking my dogs and any others I'm taking care of! "
"This was my first time using the Wag! Service/App and I was pleasantly surprised! Jared came to let my frenchie out for me while I was away, alerted me when the dog done his job and also sent a little video checking in during his walk! Loved it! Thank you Jared!! Tyson loved it as well and told me all about it when I got home :) "
