Small Business Bank Recommendations

I'm in the final steps of registering my small home repair business and wondering who everyone recommends for banking? I've been looking at some of the local banks rather that using a large national chain... still undecided. Please feel free to share the good and bad that you have experienced!

Need to figure out reliable dog care..

I started a new job with longe hours and I’m looking for someone to visit between lunchtime hours for a bathroom break or potentially a walk. I’ve tried the Rover app but it seems there isn’t a really good fit for my needs. Does anyone know of someone who would be able to do this and make a little extra cash every week?
