I've had cats, dogs, lizards, birds, and guinea pigs growing up... a small zoo! I'm pretty comfortable with all kinds of animals and my best friend is a certified Vet Tech! I can ask her anything to help your baby in case it's needed. My schedule is pretty flexible and I don't mind working with you to find what works best for your animal's needs! Communication is all we need to make it happen :-) I can easily crate your dog if you need me to, but would prefer to keep an eye on them while they enjoy a little freedom. I'm comfortable with recognizing signs in both cats and dogs of irritation, fright, and comfort.
