Gayle has a way with animals. She is affectionate and gentle and also aware of safety issues. My dog loves her and she does not love everyone! Gayle looked after our dog, Mollie, when we were away on vacation. I came back to a happy, healthy, clean and shiny pup who sat quietly beside Gayle, looking contented with her tail wagging as I approached. Gayle understands that exercise is important for my elderly dog, but doesn't push her too hard. She is very consistent, which I appreciate. Since having Gayle involved with Mollie's care, Mollie is definitely more active, more energetic and leaner. She is happier and has more spring in her step. It's hard for me to exercise my dog as much as would be best for her, so it helps a lot to have Gayle's help with that. I think I will have more time to enjoy with my dog, and she will have a better quality of life, because of Gayle's assistance.
