I clear it right from the get go that I have a 7lb dog and a 12lb cat. So far no one has had an issue. They are free to roam in my house with the daycare kids and I have had no issues. They meet them right away at the interview and I let them know they have “safe places” to go if kids are bothering them. My dog has a crate and my cat has a 8ft cat tree in our play space. I also can remove the animals and close the door and have done so on occasion.

I feel that it is super important to let families know upfront if you have animals for allergy reasons. Even if the animal is not out when daycare is on their dander is everywhere.
