Hello all! My name is Brittany, but my friends call me Jumami LOL. I own 2 birds and a pup named Ellis. I've grown up with pets all my life and what has made me successful in building trust with my babies is allowing them to do their thing. I believe in a cage free environment (meaning they have cages, but only for sleeping and eating) but they are never forced to their cages and because of that it allows them to develop their own routines. I work around them and they work around me. My babies are more like my roommates then my pets. I work from home full time so your pet will hardly ever be alone and will get regular potty breaks. I live in a very walkable area so we will get out for at least two long walks, outside of potty breaks. I live in a garden style apartment so your pet will get plenty of sunshine. The garden is completely fenced in, which is nice because your baby can get some much needed vitamin d, but they can't go far. If your dog loves sunbathing then they will love the garden.
