20. Emma H.
“Emma has taken care of my cats multiple times and they both love her! I can count on regular check-ins, accompanied with the occasional picture or video, even if it was not prompted. My cats eat different food and need someone to make sure that they didn't get into the other's bowl. Emma happily spent quality time with them so that their diets were adhered to when I was gone. They got plenty of playtime... they may not have even missed me! I would recommend Emma to anyone who has an animal and wants a responsible, kind, and considerate pet caregiver :)”
