I'm Zoe's dad, so take this with whatever grain of salt you want, but I've watched her with animals her whole life and I'd hand her our dog without a second thought. Actually I do, all the time. She's the one in our house who notices when the dog skips a meal or starts limping, usually a day before the rest of us catch on. Nervous dogs settle down around her because she doesn't crowd them. The high energy ones come home tired. She's also just responsible. If she says she'll be there at 7, she's there at 6:55. She's done meds, the whole pill-in-cheese routine, and she'll clean up a mess and not make a thing of it. Neighbors have asked her back more than once, which is probably a better reference than her dad. She'll send you pictures without you having to ask. Your dog will probably sulk for a minute when she leaves. Highly recommend her.
