I have many years of experience with animals. I have raised and trained different breeds over the years from miniature pinschers to Dobermans and Pitbulls. I am also comfortable around birds, as I have an African Grey. So it would not be a problem if you have both. I do work but can make several visits after work and possibly before work or during lunch. Weekends are more flexible. I am sure a schedule could be designed to work best for you and your fur baby. I am very reliable and responsible. I would treat your baby as well as I treat mine and my babies are spoiled. If there is anything else you want to know, just ask. I am upfront and want this to be a happy experience for all of us.
