Meet the Salt & Sand Paws Family

I have loved animals my whole life. When I retired, I started Salt & Sand Paws to offer the kind of care I would want for my own pets. I share my home with Frankie, Cleo and Bella, and I would love to meet your pet family.

Frankie is a rescue from Texas through Hearts of the North. Bella and Cleo were adopted from Keeping Cats Home in Summerside, PEI. They are a big part of my life and a big part of why I care so deeply about animals.

When you book with Salt & Sand Paws, I'm the person who comes to care for your pet - every visit. I'll learn your pet's routine and follow it, so they can get to know me and feel comfortable in my care.

I know how much trust it takes to give someone your keys and leave your pet in their care. I am fully insured, Pet First Aid certified and criminal record checked. We'll start with a complimentary meet and greet so you can ask questions and see how your pet and I get along.

Frankie, Cleo and Bella

Frankie is my dog and my beach-walking partner, so you will see a lot of him on this site, usually by the water.
