I have been told I have a calming presence to dogs and cats. I adore how happy dogs are and love my family and friend's dogs! I own cats so of course include cat visits in this as well. In addition, I enjoy walking and would like to be productive, getting a little four-legged friend some exercise, too. As far as communication, I am okay with both calling as well as texting, and good about getting back in touch with folks. Ever had crickets in response to or a complete no-show for a Craigslist ad and been frustrated at the time you wasted? That is NOT me. I definitely value others' time and would tell you if I could not do XYZ for whatever reason. Open communication is crucial and extremely important to me and how I conduct business (dog walking and otherwise).
