Meet our Carers

Susan Marshall and her husband Darren Bull are here to care for your pets whilst you are away. Susan has always been an animal lover and has owned a variety of pets including cats, dogs, horses and fish.

Upon finishing school, Susan completed a 6 month TAFE course where she learnt about managing kennels and catteries, as well as pet grooming. Susan did so well she topped the class!

Susan is also an EFA instructor and is able to conduct a general assessment of a horse’s health and decide when it is necessary to call the vet.

For added peace of mind, Susan is a former Queensland police officer, spending 14 years in the police service, and hence is well trained to assess the security of your home.

Darren has a natural affinity with all animals. When you see him interact with your pets, you will have peace of mind that they are being smothered with love. Darren has also grown up with animals, such as cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs and horses. His honesty and integrity are impeccable, having spent 22 years as a Queensland police officer.

Testimonials

“Mikey” a chestnut warmblood gelding who is wearing a white rug.

“Susan did a great job of looking after my horse Mikey when I was away. She was more than happy to attend twice a day to feed and rug him.

Given her experience with horses, it was peace of mind knowing that Mikey was in good hands and being well cared for.

I would happily use Susan again when I take my next holiday.”
