MY STORY

Welcome to Animal House Critter Services. My name is Linda Bloomer and I'm a resident of the Powell Community.

 

Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up on a family farm in the Karn's community.  My family's farm consisted of horses, sheep, cattle, pigs, etc., including wildlife.

 

I have experience both professionally and personally caring for a wide variety of animals.   My experience includes dogs, cats, farm animals, pocket pets, exotics, and aquarium fish. 

​

I currently own 4 fantastic dogs, 2 cats (rescues), and a non-releasable opossum.  

​

Rescuing and caring for all types of animals is my passion and runs deep in my blood. I have dedicated many hours to diversifying my knowledge and continued learning within this field. I thrive for pet service excellence. See what I've been up to below:
