I grew up with animals and have been around them all my life. I know how to communicate with them, train them, earn their trust, know what they need, etc. In addition to learning from my family how to take care of animals, I had some more training while a member of 4H. I work from home with my animals typically roaming free in the protected property. I am flexible to spend time with them as needed indoors or outdoors. I only petsit at my home-turf. I would generally let the animals have freedom to socialize with one another, but I do have crates if needed. Otherwise, I make sure they are comfortable and learn their boundaries upfront and as they relax. We can also take a stroll as part of the visit. The park is just next door.
