Patricia is very caring and gentle with animals and children alike. She previously lived with me and helped care for my three dogs, all different sizes with different energy levels, and she did so with much love. It was not truly in my schnauzer’s disposition to welcome newcomers into the pack; he was protective and a dominant alpha. To our surprise, Patricia became one of his favorites and soon he was hers! She is tender yet firm, especially when their health and safety are involved, and she has the biggest heart! Animals just know these things. She is dependable, reliable, punctual, and respectful. She shines. Truly a gift.
