About the Owner

  I have always had a love for animals, big and small. I have had cats, dogs, mice, and gerbils, raised 2 snapping turtles for 5 and half years before I set them free.

I have had four ferrets who lived until they were older than the normal ferret life span, which is 8 to 10 years. The oldest ferret, an albino, was 14 years old, when she finally died of old age. I had to put the last one to sleep in June 2000. We had  three ferrets; "Zack" , "Munchkin" and the newest addition was "Sadie".  Sadie was originally a lab ferret, and had a wonderful life here with us.  Unfortunately on May 9th 2004 Sadie had succumbed to her insulinoma.  She will be sadly missed.  Sad news has struck our family again, on September 30th, our Ferret Zack had to be put to sleep, due to a tumor , and  insulinoma.  On November 12th, 2004 Munchkin died here at home of old age.  They will all be sadly missed.  All 3 were great companions and friends.

We had a 17 year old black cat named "Zorro" .  On October 25th 2004 we had the toughest decision to put our baby "Zorro" to sleep.  His thyroid condition had worsen, he had to be on medication to stimulate his appetite.  Even at the end neither medication was helping, and he was ready to go.  He was my "Best Friend" for the last 16 years.  I will really miss him.    We have a Rotty / Shepherd cross "Abby" who had been abused in Florida, and now has a great home here in Avon, MA.  Our other pet is a Bald Eye Cockatoo named Kelawia pronounced (Kay-Lah-Vee-a).

Great news we have adopted 3 new cats to our family.  Marty was adopted on 12-02-04, from the Taunton Animal Shelter.  He was left behind in an apartment for a while.  The Taunton Animal Shelter took excellent care of him.    On 12-09-04, I adopted another cat from the MSPCA, what a sweet heart.  I changed the name that they gave her at the shelter to now Kahlua.  On 01-08-05, I adopted Conway from the Taunton Animal Shelter.  Conway was one of  Marty's roommates at the shelter.  We now have adopted a ferret from the South Shore Ferret Rescue!  Krecher is an awesome ferret.  He loves to play hide & seek with all the cat toys, and any thing else he can carry and put under the couch!

I have worked at both the MSPCA and Animal Rescue League of Boston. I have worked for my Veterinarian at the Brockton Animal Hospital.  I have worked for a private kennel, and have  volunteered at Foster Parrots, a parrot rescue and sanctuary. See web page www.fosterparrots.com.

   I decided to give up a career as a paralegal to do something that I passionately love and that is working with animals. I find being with animals is so fulfilling, and I really enjoy going to work everyday.

   By utilizing our services you can feel at ease if your vacationing or working long hours, just knowing your pet (s) are being cared for in their own environment. No stress on you or your pet (s). No more having to pack everything, dropping your pet off, and picking them up from a kennel. Your pet will stop wondering why they are being sent away, when and if their owner will be returning for them.

  We will ensure that your pet will receive the same special care and affection in your absence. I am pleased to be able to provide this service to people who love their pets as much as I love mine.
