I've spent practically my whole life around animals, starting from hounds as a kid, to two cats as an adult. I volunteered regularly at my local animal shelter where i grew up, and i've even cared for more exotic animals like fish, frogs, and a hedgehog. My husband and I have fostered animals in our time here as well! Both of our cats are fully up to date on shots and flea medication, so should be fully safe near your pets. I've spent plenty of time around puppies and know how much extra attention they need, and I have more than enough time to give them. My main concern with pets is always that they feel safe and they're healthy- I can help them feel comfortable, but if something does go wrong, my closest friend works at a vet clinic and is available to call if something were to happen. Any special concerns you have about your pets, I'm more than happy to listen to. If you're concerned about not being there with them, I can also send you as many updates as you'd like on how they're doing!
