Makayla started working here after graduating high school in 2014. With hard work and dedication Makayla became a Lead Veterinary Technician at our practice. Since she was a little girl, her dream was always to help animals any way she could. She figured this out when she couldn't resist the urge to rescue all of the animals in her neighborhood. During her free time she enjoys spending time outside with family, friends, and her fur babies.

  Kayleigh started here in September of 2022. She was born and raised in Colorado. It took some time to find her dream job but now she knows that working with animals is what she was born to do.
