My apartment is pretty spacious. We don’t have a backyard, but we do live in a little court which includes a small park in the middle which would be perfect for play time. My roommate does have a small cat but she enjoys staying in their room, so it’s really no issue to keep her out of the way if your pet needs a place to stay. As for clients homes, this is completely up to you! If you prefer your pet to stay outdoors, no problem! I love the outdoors too. Whatever you need me to do to make sure your pet gets the attention and care it needs, I’m on it!
