I have a note in my ad and on my website that we have a friendly cat around here who stays out of the way most of the day. I check with people at the phone or emailing stage if anyone in the family has cat allergies (but they still show up and say, oh yes, Daddy has an allergy, doh) When people arrive for an interview my cat is right there to check everybody out then she's gone again so they can see I've told them the truth. I don't have anything about her in my contract. I vacuum and dust every morning in the toyroom to make sure the cat hair is cleaned up before the children arrive.

Honestly, I'm afraid of big dogs and probably would not bring my child to your daycare, so sorry! But, there are many people who do love big dogs and probably wouldn't think twice about it. You will attract the families who are a good match for you.
