As the owner of Pawtector Pet Care, I have enjoyed over 11 years of serving pets and their owners in the Smith Mountain Lake Community and beyond. During that time, I have taken care of horses, alpacas, chickens, goats, fish and hundreds of cats and dogs. I taught Pet First Aid and CPR classes in Roanoke, Vinton, Smith Mountain Lake, Bedford, Evington and Staunton, Va to so many wonderful people. Owning and operating Pawtector Pet Care has been an extremely rewarding and satisfying experience for me. I thank every one of my clients (past and present) for their confidence in my ability and their loyalty to Pawtector and to me personally.
It has been a difficult decision; however, I am announcing my retirement and closure of Pawtector Pet Care at year-end 2025. I am looking forward to the next chapter in my life and spending more time with my own pets and family. I started communicating these plans with my active clients in January of this year. Referrals to qualified sitters are being or have been provided and some sitters have already met and/or started sitting for former Pawtector clients.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your support. I will always treasure the memories of my clients, their pets and the crazy and heartwarming stories.
