Other things to note
You are able to bring up to two dogs with you, but please let me know in advance in case I have my own dog and cat with me in the studio. Please do not let them on the furniture or beds (or upstairs carpet), or bring your own coverings if you think you can't stop them.
My dog and cat may be outside/on the premises, the dog is contained within the courtyard garden of the studio /in the studio. He may be in the main garden on occasion if I am present with him and no guests are there/or on a lead. The cat may try and sneak in the house if a door is opened, please do not let him in the bedrooms if you see him, and message me to let me know! The cat flaps can please be opened/unlocked to the utility/back door if he gets stuck inside and hides - he will find his way out!
