Of course!!! I feel sad that she feels anxious coming to my place bc of the dog hair and dust, and I want to create a welcoming and safe environment for her. I know her family didn't take her asthma seriously growing up and so she'd never ask me to do that, cuz she feels guilty about it... so I want to go out of my way to show her care in this way specifically.

When someone isn't shown the right amount of care about a thing, they tend to minimize it, because they don't know how to get help with it. I recognize that I have an opportunity to show her care in that way, and maybe help her recognize that it's valid to ask for help with stuff like this. No need to have an asthma attack in someone's house just because it's "too much" to ask them to clean for you.
