Pet care experience

Good with all kinds of dogs and cat

I've trained my own cat to do tricks as well as taken care of and trained my parent's dog who is 50 lbs. I've entertained, trained, and walked other people's dogs for them previously. I'm currently working from home part-time, so am available to check in on and walk dogs and cats at pretty much any time needed. I try to get out of the apartment at least once a day already, so a dog would fit right in. I have two cats in my home who are friendly to others and absolutely non-aggressive, but can also be safely put away in a bedroom if other pets aren't comfortable with cats. There is a fenced in backyard as well as a park only a few blocks away.

Margaret did a great job watching our kitties! She was communicative throughout our trip and helped out when one of the cats knocked things over. Highly recommend :)

Safety, trust & environment

Because I have two roommates with me, no dog is ever left alone in my apartment for longer than an hour. There is always someone ready and willing to cuddle them and check on them.

I would like to know the dog's opinion towards cats as I have two in the house currently. They can be put away in a bedroom if needed.
