Anna loves being able to connect with clients and their furry family members. Making sure sick pets get the care they need gives her a sense of purpose. Anna has a soft spot in her heart for large breed dogs and in her free time volunteers at a Great Dane rescue. Outside of work Anna loves to read, spend time with her family and wander the outdoors with her Australian Shepherd Nika.

Anna is a dedicated veterinary technician who joined our team in 2022, bringing passion for animal care and a deep love for all things furry. After graduating in 2020, she dove into the world of veterinary medicine with a focus on providing compassionate, hands-on care for pets and their owners. At home, she’s a proud pet parent to four dogs and two cats. Outside of work, Anna is always up for an adventure, whether it’s hiking with her dogs, experimenting in the kitchen with new recipes, or taking dog training classes. She’s particularly drawn to Golden Retrievers and there’s no better part of her day than seeing one of these friendly, eager-to-please pups walk through the door. For Anna, the greatest reward is knowing she’s helping make a difference in the lives of the pets and the people who love them!
