There are people who have pets, and then there are people who are pet parents -- Leslie is definitely a pet mom to her two "girls." She loves them to the moon and back, passionately cares for and about them, proudly talks about them in our conversations, and shares photos of them. When we used to meet for lunch (before she moved), we would often meet in a pet-friendly restaurant, and I'd enjoy my sandwich and conversation while a cold nose or wagging tail nuzzled my ankles. I can't think of a better person to care for other people's pets as much as Leslie, who cares so lovingly about her own.

Leslie and I have known each other for about 2 years now! Leslie is a very trustworthy person. She is an owner of two dogs whom she takes great pride in. They actually are both registered therapy animals. She used to come to my place of employment, the Homeless Empowerment Program, and bring them to interact with the clients. She is someone who will go out of her way to make sure her animals are comfortable. Dogs come first with Leslie. Leslie is a very hard-working employee. For the time we worked together at HEP she had great interpersonal skills and was skilled at getting the clients to feel comfortable with her. She would be a great addition to have on your team!
