I am an animal lover. I have had pets my entire life. I have 2 dogs (Chihuahuas) and a cat right now. They all get along well with each other and I also have a 3 year old grandson that lives with me and loves to be near the pets. He also has a pet rabbit. I have a fully fenced back yard, which animals will have full access to. I prefer to have non-aggressive dogs, that will get along well with other animals and be safe to have around small children. I am also more than happy to board cats if needed. Pets that are not potty trained will need to stay in the back yard during their stay. They, however, will not be isolated at all.
