Ryan is not only great with animals, she is great with people. She is nurturing, extremely kind, and always wonderful to talk to. Having known her for several years, I've witnessed her with every kind of dog. She is definitely the one at the gathering that everyone's dog flocks to and they adore her. She is respectful of everyone she meets, so I'm confident she would take on any special rules or requests happily. Which, as anyone who has left their furry family member with someone else knows, is a huge relief. If you have to be away from your pet, you would be comforted to know they were with Ryan, for sure.
