Her love for small and large animals have always been a huge part of her life. Having horses, dogs and cats in her life, she was the one who would always be wanting to make sure they were in good health and being taken care of.

In 2022 she decided to leave the Veterinary industry to focus on her pet sitting business and help run her family’s horse farm.
Her background and expertise with animals, large and small, have helped her become the successful business owner she is today. Professionalism and customer service is what she strives for in making clients and their pets happy.
Outside of her love for animals Louise enjoys camping, traveling, fishing and playing Volleyball.
