13. Emily J.
“If I ever need to have someone watch my dog, Em is immediately who I go to. She took amazing care of my dog, sending lots of updates, including of pictures over the week and was always very responsive to me. Em was able to help with my dog's anxiety (and mine too) and my dog loved being able to spend time (and play non-stop) with her dog and cat. She's wonderful with dogs and my dog loved getting to have his vacation with her. I will 100% be using Em again for any time I need to have a sitter for my dog since I know he will be well taken care of.”
