We are so fortunate to know and love Emily. She has been part of the core crew with our Bernese mountain dog Dexter "Big Essie," a gentle giant, for years. On the rare occasion that we can't bring Essie with us where we're going, Emily is the first person we think of to trust with Essie's care. She is an experienced foster parent, shelter dog running volunteer and a compassionate, skilled and responsible caretaker of her own pets as well. In all areas, Emily is gentle and kind, and is intelligent, easygoing and safe in her practices with all types of dogs. She is likewise loving and understanding toward our adopted Chow Chow, Rinchen. I have been fortunate to learn firsthand in multiple circumstances what a wonderful, thoughtful and all-over top-notch minder of pups and advocate for their peeps Emily is. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a caretaker through Rover.com! -Megan (wife of DB, with Dexter "Big Essie" and Rinchen).
