About Us

MarlinCritters Pet Care, founded in 2009, is owned and run by Megan Keating (Megs), who worked previously with Perth Pet Pals. Megan has had a passion for animals her entire life, and has a large amount of experience with animals in various settings.

The aim of Critters is to give pet owners peace of mind when they leave their pets in our care, whether it be for an extended holiday or just a quick walk down to the park. We take great pride in being reliable, honest, professional and caring.

About Megan

Growing up partly in the city and partly on 6 acres of land in Serpentine, Megs has kept a huge number of animal companions including: Dogs, cats, mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, chooks, ducks and aviary birds. She has also fostered and rehabilitated a handful of orphaned or ill native wildlife, including kangaroos, a possum, bobtail lizards and a range of birds.

Megan is currently sharing a house with three kitties named Marlin, Molly and Moscow, two budgies named Prince and Ruby, three hens named Russel, George and Stephen (yep, they are girls), three rats named Norway, Sweden and Toffee, a bunny named Gramps, as well as a large number of Buttercupmice. She also has a pit-bull x rotty named Bob and a belgian shepherd, Bonnie who live with her parents. There is also a steady stream of rescued small animals passing through the household, as part of Critters Rescue. Megan's menagerie is not yet complete and she is looking forward to one day being the best friend of a great Dane, just as soon as she can afford to feed one!

Megs has completed a Bachelor of Science majoring in psychology, and is currently completing a second science degree majoring in zoology at UWA, concurrently with a certificate III in companion animal services at Challenger Institute of Technology. As you might guess she is strongly interested in ethology (the science of animal behaviour) but is not yet sure precisely where she will take her career in the future.
