I grew up with dogs, cats and exotic pets in my home since I was a child. Everything from teacup chihuahua's to chow chows and wolf hybrids even a bobcat. being raised around these animals I learned how to pay attention to body language, social queues and triggers as well as how to minimize anxiety, aggression and unfavored behavior. I have been around dogs and cats that were just born to senior dogs and cats. I work full time from 4AM - 1PM PST. I have the ability to take breaks to take pets potty and then have the remainder of the day to play and give full attention to pets. I have a fenced yard and live in a small community in the country so lots of places to take pets to walk and even a giant field and area for pets down the hill from my home where pets can play and run off energy. I am capable of crating pets as well and know that a crate can be a safe place for pets to feel secure. My home is child proof so it is unlikely pets would get into things they are not suppose to. I also have several types of baby gates to create double barriers to doors and to create sectioned areas if pets prefer to be in their own secure space bigger than a crate.
