Cats: I am a long-time cat owner and know how to care for and interact with kitties of stripes! I understand cat stress and wariness, and play and affection are plentiful! Dogs: I'm very responsive to the particular needs and character of individual dogs. As part of that, I also know my limits, and don't take on large dogs since I'm not terribly physically strong! I'm experienced with dogs, will provide ample affection, pexercise and quiet space for rest, and can easily separate them from my cats of needed. I'm delighted to affirm the rules and any training regimes you have in place. I know that you are the expert on your dog, and will carefully take note of your pup's stated needs. I'm committed to great communication with you!
