Hello, I have know Emma for years. She's what I call an animal whisperer. She has that rare quality to communicate with any animal she meets; she loves them and they love her, it's just that simple. When she visits me, she sleeps in the guest room, and my dog and cat abandon me while she is here. They are maniacal about following her around and waiting for a scratch on their belly, a snuggle or a hug. She spoils pets beyond belief. For example, her cat, has a handmade house, scratching perch, filtered water bubbler, and toys galore... you get the idea. Pet-loving runs in her genes. I am told her favorite Auntie is in veterinary medicine. Since Emma was very young, she always wanted to have the same career as her aunt did. As life would have it, she is currently a dental assistant and a part-time college student. Emma is absolutely trustworthy and responsible. I would not hesitate for one minute to leave any one of my pets with her for any length of time. They'd be in loving hands while I was gone. If my animals are any indication, the only problem you will have is that your fuzzy friends will probably not want her to leave or if they stay with Emma, there are likely to hide when you come to pick them up! Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information about Emma and her sense of integrity and hard work. Simply put, she's the best! Cynthia Schultz, Retired college professor
