I now require all new boarding or daycare clients to do a meet and greet to verify how they will react to my resident cat. My cat will come out to hang in the same room. He is not interested in playing or being friends. He likes his space. But he's calm and friendly. If your dog is too curious of him, he knows his own limits, so he'll just go and hide, which is fine. I'm also now requiring all dogs to have a crate for if I have to leave. Only to start out until they are comfortable in my home. I've always been an animal lover. I have one cat myself and always had dogs growing up. I've dog sat a couple dogs before. I love taking them on walks, playing fetch, snuggling them. I'm very much in tune with cats as well - even frighten kitties. I will love your fur baby like my own. If there is any special needs your pet requires, I can accommodate that as well. Hope to hear from you soon!
