I cant remember a time when I haven't had animals in my life from dogs n cats to farm animals I've worked for veterinary In the past i can administer most meds and give basic care to you fur babies. I have a large backyard with lots of room to run plus a dog kennel for difficult doggies who like to out all day. I have three dogs of my own so you babies must get along with others and not have an issue with caged animals such as birds a farret and Guinea pig. I work thurs,fri,sat, and Tues very late but there is always usually someone in the house if not my husband then my son. Your babies will almost never be alone. Large backyard, also outside kennel if needed almost never used lol. Large home with two stories to roam. Plenty of space and company for your babies.
