i have a kitten, 2 cats and a small dog, the dog is downstairs during the appt but jumps up at the client when he comes in and walks through the kitchen (set up is awful, wish i could move) so now i get my bf to take her out or my sister as it really puts me off when she barks when im upstairs with the client, its a nightmare
i just lock the cats out the room which usually works, they stay away anyway (apart from the kitten lol!)
i have encountered only 2 problems, one was just an asian guy who on his way out said' next time i come youll have to keep the animals away i dont like them', i just thought erm mate there wont be a next time lol im an animal lover and write on my profile i have pets in my house so any fearful or allergic clients can pass up seeing me if they wish
had a client once that hated cats and my kitten escaped into the room and climbed on him lol he shit it and cried out 'Oh my god a cat!!' it was hilarious how anyone be scared of a cute baby kitty is beyond me!
most client stroke the pets or talk about theirs which is nice, as far as im concerned if any client cant stand my pets then i dont really care if he doesnt book!
