Hello, and thank you for your interest in Homes & Hounds . . .

After decades of building a successful career in fast-paced, stressful environments, I realized that while I excelled professionally, my personal passions had faded away. So, I made the brave/scary decision to step away from the corporate world, do some deep soul-searching, and once again find what was truly close to my heart—my love for animals and my desire to impact my community. That's how Homes & Hounds was born - H&H is a concierge business that provides home and lifestyle management, senior assistance, and pet care services. My mission is simple: to bring joy, create more free time, and offer dependable support to the people and pets in my community.

This foundational shift came on the heels of losing our beloved dog Damien. Watching him painfully fade away too soon, feeling completely powerless, was heartbreaking. You’ll find his sweet, handsome face in our logo as a constant reminder of why I started this journey. His passing, along with my deep sense of loss and helplessness, inspired me to explore natural and holistic ways to help other pets live their best, longest lives. Fueled by this desire and the arrival of two under-nourished rescue dogs in my life, I decided to go back to school and become a certified Holistic Pet Health Coach, studying under Dr. Ruth Roberts, whose goal is to revolutionize veterinary care and change the way we approach animal health and wellness.

My passion now is to empower pet owners with the tools and knowledge they need to help their furry companions live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. Together with a team of over one hundred global holistic pet coaches approved by the American Association of Veterinary State Boards, I provide information and tailored recommendations specifically developed for each pet. Instead of feeling helpless, my clients become empowered advocates for their pets, gaining confidence in their ability to support their animals' well-being and longevity, while also working more effectively in partnership with their veterinarians.

At home, I'm a proud mom of four grown children, and live with my husband and our two extraordinary, well-nourished rescue dogs, Boop and Quincy. With a deep love for animals, a commitment to serving my community, and a passion for helping others, I'm excited to continue this journey—creating happier homes, healthier pets, and more fulfilling lives for everyone I have the privilege to serve.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to meet you in person soon.

Warmly,
Susan Judge
Founder, Homes & Hounds
