meet Dr. Stacey
FOUNDER + VETERINARIAN
A Geraldton local, Stacey created Salty Paws to offer friendly, heart-led care without the stress of a clinic visit. She believes that by removing the “clinical chill,” she can build deeper, more honest connections with her patients in their own sanctuary.
Stacey’s vibrant career has covered an incredible range of species—from cats and dogs to horses, cattle, and even camels! This broad expertise is balanced by her special interests in skin allergies, osteoarthritis, and peaceful end-of-life services. When she isn’t visiting your coastal crew, Stacey is usually at the beach with her young family, perfecting her sourdough, or keeping up with her goofy Staffy, Dusty.
meet Nurse Sam
VETERINARY NURSE
A Geraldton local with over eight years in the industry, Sam brings a wealth of knowledge across both small and large animal care. She is a kind, patient, and deeply advocate-driven nurse with special interests in palliative care and patient advocacy, ensuring your pets are always treated with the highest level of respect and heart. Always up for a chat and a puppy cuddle, Sam’s warmth makes her a natural fit for the home-visit rhythm. When she isn’t out servicing the community, she’s usually chasing after her own lively crew: Koda the Koolie, Turbo the Border Collie, and Winnie the Golden Retriever (and of course, her husband!).
meet Nurse Hannah
VETERINARY NURSE
Another Geraldton local in our ranks, Hannah has spent six years working across the spectrum of animal care—from rabbits and rats to horses and cows. While she has a deep clinical background in emergency medicine and critical care, she thrives in the intentional, calm pace of the Salty Paws home-visit rhythm. A former dog person turned dedicated cat lady, Hannah shares her home with Dex the Russian Blue and Salem the shorthair (though she’ll always have a soft spot for a Kelpie). When she’s off the clock, you’ll find her on skates with the Geraldton Roller Derby team, testing out a new baking recipe, or carrying the squad to a win on Fortnite.
