My name is Andy Sizer, and I am the proud owner of The Critter Guy, Inc. We are a family-owned local business for over ten years. I am a native of the Roanoke area. It has been my lifelong dream to work in the field of nuisance wildlife removal. After ten years of employment with the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, I finally decided I wanted to go into business for myself and do what I have always wanted to do. During my employment with the DWR and my other life-long pursuits, I have become familiar with various residential, commercial, and rural wildlife conflicts as well as many years of experience navigating the complex wildlife regulations.
I am very capable of making repairs of animal damage to structures. I have many years of practical working experience in various construction trades, both residential and commercial. I recognize the shortcomings of modern construction and the common modes of degradation of older construction that allows ever-adaptable animals to gain access.
As a farmer, I have many years of experience identifying and solving wildlife conflicts without interfering with normal farm operations on any scale. Coyote depredation control is a special area of expertise, with over 30 years of experience successfully targeting and trapping nuisance coyotes in Southwestern Virginia.
All of these things come together to give you a very knowledgeable and professional animal problem solver dedicated to helping Southwestern Virginia and beyond.
Cathy Sizer, also known as Mrs. Critter Guy, handles the phones and office end of our business. She joined me as an assistant field technician in 2019. If you have any questions or concerns, she is happy to assist you.
