About Paws-N-Effect

Paws-N-Effect owner, Jane,

Paws-N-Effect Walkers Play "Complete the Sentence..."

Hello there and thanks again for visiting the Paws-N-Effect website. Allow me to introduce
myself: I'm Jane and I'm the happy owner of this fun and rewarding company. I have an
undergraduate degree in Behavioral Psychology and a Master's in Business. After spending
many years in the corporate world, I decided to take the plunge and apply my skills to what I
love: PETS! ...and more specifically, Doggies!

I've never met a dog I didn't like! I believe that with the right love, attention, exercise and
"pawsitive" reinforcement, every dog can bring joy to their family.

I've built my company to meet the needs of my clients. I am licensed, bonded and insured for
your peace of mind; I am flexible, reliable, trustworthy and fair. I have a great (and
growing!) client base of satisfied pet parents and lots of very happy client doggies!

I also strive to be A GREAT DOGWALKER and
have only the best dogwalkers work for me! My
walkers are carefully picked and I give extra
incentives to encourage everyone to stay with
Paws-N-Effect so that turnover is kept to a
minimum. We're all loving, attentive, consistent
and patient with our doggy clients and treat
them with the care we would if they were our
own. If your special 4-legged pal needs some
extra attention, just let me know and we'll be
happy to oblige!

For me, taking care of your loved one is an
honor and privilege. I take it seriously and I'm
very thankful for the opportunity to serve you
and your furry buddy!
