Dogs, cats, and other companion animals are cared for in my home in Mount Uniacke, Nova Scotia, just 15 minutes from Halifax Regional Municipality.  I also provide at-home pet care depending on your location and my availability. 

Equines & Farm Animals

 

  • Overnight stable and farm care services offered, or depending on your location, I can travel back and forth to visit your property daily as required.

  • Location pending, I will pay a complimentary visit to your stable or farm at least once before you go away so you can show me the ropes.

"I like to think the dozens of animals I work with are mine too for the few hours, days or weeks they are in my care.

I treat them as a member of my family, with as much love and affection as they deserve."
