Emily has stayed with my pitbull-boxer Toby several times, including over a two week period while my girlfriend and I were in Europe. Toby just loves her. She lives nearby, and sometimes when walking past her apartment he will literally plant his butt on the ground and won't move because he wants to go visit her. She is very dependable and caring with him, and has been a lifesaver. Toby's quite energetic, so he needs someone who can be patient with him when he wants to play around. Fortunately Emily is up to the task and gives him the attention he needs. I would highly recommend her if you need a sitter for your pet.
