Annamarie S.
Hospital Administrator
Like many of us, Annamarie’s career path took a turn one day and led her down a completely different road. One very different from what she was expecting. Annamarie is a natural born leader with a passion for keeping things organized and helping a team to run like a well-oiled machine. She’s been in management or leadership roles most of her entire adult life. Her first passion in life was investigation work. A career a long way from Veterinary management. As years went by, Annamarie wanted to be at home more so she could spend time with her kids so she took a position with a veterinary clinic 10 minutes down the road. This opportunity allowed her to transition into working in an environment where she could enjoy utilizing her leadership skills and her lifelong love of pets.
Annamarie developed a deep passion for her new role as well as the wonderful employees and practice owner that she serves. Annamarie feels that loyalty, commitment, and hard work are key fundamentals to being a good leader. She has served as the Hospital Administrator for Pet Doctor since June of 2009. Annamarie enjoys spending time with her family and her 6 grandchildren, playing with her fun frenchie Sig, hosting women’s bible studies, discovering new vacation destinations with her husband, and trying all types of international cuisine.
Abigail C.
Veterinary Technician
For Abigail Conner, a life without animals was never in the cards. Though she originally began her journey in human health care, it didn’t take long before her heart led her in a different direction—one lined with paw prints. The moment she stepped into the world of veterinary medicine, she knew she was exactly where she was meant to be.
Since joining the Pet Doctor team in March of 2021, Abigail has found true joy in helping pets heal and thrive. Whether she’s assisting with dentals, scrubbing in for surgery, or diving into the complexities of radiology and phlebotomy, she approaches every case with curiosity, compassion, and a deep desire to understand what’s going on beneath the surface. Abigail especially enjoys learning about anatomy and using that knowledge to uncover what’s making a pet feel unwell.
At home, Abigail shares her life with one very special pup: Ace. The self-appointed king of the household. Ace is a spoiled sweetheart who dotes on his mom and grandpa—and has an enthusiastic love for the Dallas Stars. His favorite possession? A pink ball he carries around like a pacifier and insists on using it to play fetch.
Outside of work, you’ll often find Abigail curled up with a good book, catching a Dallas Stars game, playing sand volleyball or softball, or traveling and spending time with her family. Whether at home or in the clinic, she brings heart, energy, and a deep love for animals to everything she does.
Anna D.
Veterinary Technician
Anna Davis brings both experience and heart to her role as a veterinary technician at Pet Doctor. Her journey into animal care began at age 18, working at a pet store that rescued animals from euthanasia lists. Helping those pets find new beginnings sparked a deep-rooted passion that has guided her ever since.
Anna explored human healthcare, even graduating summa cum laude in medical assisting, but she always found herself returning to veterinary medicine. Over the years, she advanced from kennel assistant to veterinary technician, building her knowledge through hands-on experience and mentorship. Her career has been shaped by a commitment to learning, growth, and doing right by the animals in her care.
Anna thrives in the fast-paced, high-pressure environment of emergency and wound care. She finds meaning in turning critical moments into second chances for pets in need. She also values client education and enjoys helping pet owners make informed decisions about their animals’ health and well-being.
A defining moment in her career came when she chose to stay with a severely neglected dog during euthanasia, despite being instructed to leave. That moment reinforced her belief that every animal deserves comfort and compassion, no matter the circumstances.
At home in Terrell, Texas, Anna shares a peaceful property with her boyfriend, his daughter and grandson, and their extended animal family. Sasha, their Dogue de Bordeaux, brings laughter with her love of squeaky ducks; Charlie the cat adores catnip and was adopted when left behind by previous owners; Fred the donkey guards the pasture and enjoys the occasional blueberry muffin. They also care for a Jersey bull calf and a Holstein heifer.
Outside of work, Anna collects dragon and owl figurines, reads paranormal and sci-fi fiction, and enjoys spontaneous road trips that bring new stories to life.
Carrie C.
Veterinary Technician
Carrie knew in 6th grade that she wanted to work in the veterinary industry. She’d always loved animals and felt deep down that this was her calling. After high school, she landed a job as a kennel attendant and enrolled in a local veterinary technician program. 25+ years later, Carrie still loves what she does!
Carrie’s career spanned several different clinics and hospitals, the last of which she spent 15 years with before it was acquired by a corporation. Upon deciding that wasn’t for her, she came across an opening at Pet Doctor and found it was the perfect fit! Professionally, Carrie loves that there are so many facets to her job. She also appreciates the many relationships she’s made with clients and patients over the years.
Outside of work, Carrie resides in her hometown of Mesquite with her husband and son. They don’t currently have any pets, but she hopes to change that very soon. Carrie’s free time is typically spent watching TV, going to the movies, or attending Broadway musicals. She and her sister have been going to the Dallas musicals for nearly two decades, a tradition started by their beloved grandmother.
Chelsie L.
Veterinary Technician
Chelsie knew at a very young age that she wanted to work with animals. Most of her childhood was spent helping out on her grandpa’s farm, where she learned how to bottle feed the calves and milk to mamas. As she grew older, Chelsie’s passion for animals never wavered, and she continued to follow her heart into the veterinary field. As one of the vet techs here at Pet Doctor, Chelsie is excited to be doing what she loves every day.
Chelsie’s career journey began in 2012 at a clinic in Athens, TX. She worked there for several years before deciding to take some time off when her son was born. In 2020, Chelsie returned to work and she and her family relocated from East Texas just prior to her daughter’s birth. She joined the Pet Doctor team following her maternity leave, and the rest is history. Clinically, Chelsie has a special interest in surgery.
When she’s not busy caring for our patients, Chelsie is at home with her husband Blayne, their son Slayde, and their daughter Zuri. Their animal family includes a boxer named Khaleesi, four cats (Lennon, Cerci, Chuck Norris, and Luna), and a snake named Enki. Most of Chelsie’s spare time is spent attending Slayde’s many sporting activities and tending to young Zuri’s needs. Chelsie considers being a mom her greatest accomplishment in life.
Genavieve O.
Veterinary Technician
Growing up on a farm, surrounded by chickens, goats, pigs, and (her personal favorite) cows, Gena developed a love of animals at a very young age. During her sophomore year of high school, she was given the opportunity to raise her very first cow, Hazel, all by herself. Hazel taught Gena many lessons, including how to be responsible, patient, attentive, and calm. Beyond this, Hazel sparked a desire to make working with animals a career. As a veterinary technician, Gina now helps animals for a living!
At the age of 16, Gena landed her first official job as a kennel technician in the boarding facility of a local animal clinic. A couple of years later, while taking college classes, Gena felt driven to pursue more hands-on experience. She noticed that Pet Doctor was hiring, applied, and the rest is history! Since joining the team in April 2021, Gena has continued to expand her knowledge. She appreciates how this job challenges her – physically, mentally, and emotionally – and that she is always learning new things, not just about veterinary medicine, but also about herself.
Outside of work, Gena has two dogs of her own: River and Jackson. River is a little on the crazy side, and Jackson hides from her every chance she gets. In addition to her canine companions, Gena also owns 27 cows who think they’re dogs, and 10 chickens with some serious attitude. Besides her love of animals, Gena has a lifelong passion for dance, something she’s been doing since the age of four. Her mom often jokes that she “came out tap dancing.”
Nataly M.
Veterinary Technician
Nataly grew up with all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to birds, turtles, fish, and horses. When one of her dogs became chronically ill, the many trips to the vet opened Nataly’s eyes to the world of veterinary medicine. Seeing how skilled and compassionate the doctors and care team were inspired Nataly to follow in their footsteps and become a vet tech. Today, she shares that same passion with our patients!
Nataly’s career journey began in 2019, when she asked to volunteer at her local vet clinic. There, she learned how to administer vaccines and draw blood, and she was eventually offered a job. She spent four years there, then moved onto a different practice before joining the Pet Doctor team in April of 2023. Professionally, Nataly enjoys learning new skills and seeing sick pets recover to live happy, healthy lives.
At home, Nataly has three fur babies of her own, including two pit bulls, Big Boy and Chapitas, and a little Havanese mix named Coco. The pitties love going on car rides while Coco is more of a homebody. All three have unique personalities and get along well together. When she’s not busy working or playing with her pups, you’ll usually find Nataly listening to music, watching TV, or doing a craft. She also loves to travel and has so far visited Mexico, Florida, Arkansas, California, Hawaii, and Las Vegas.
Sara Q.
Veterinary Technician
When Sara was a child, she would receive daily visits from a neighborhood cat named Tiger. When Tiger was in an accident and needed emergency medical attention, Sara remembers watching in awe at how lovingly the vet worked to save Tiger’s life. It was then that she decided the veterinary field would be her future. Being able to help animals the same way that vet did so many years ago is something that Sara takes great pride in!
Sara’s journey in the industry began as a Kennel Technician, which she did while attending high school. This experience officially solidified her desire to pursue veterinary medicine. Becoming a Veterinary Technician made perfect sense, because she loves people as much as she loves their fur babies. Professionally, Sara has a particular interest in radiology. She appreciates the opportunity to learn and the ability to contribute to saving and improving the lives of animals.
Outside of the clinic, Sara has 2 dogs of her own: Sargent, a perpetually youthful German shepherd and a new puppy named Dak. Her hobbies include enjoying the outdoors, fishing, spending time with family and, of course, playing with her dogs.
Sheila W.
Veterinary Technician
Prior to her career in the veterinary industry, Sheila spent more than two decades working in an office setting. As time went on, she felt she needed a change of pace, so she switched gears and started working at a dog kennel. It was such a rewarding experience that Sheila knew almost immediately she had found her true calling in life. And the rest, as they say, is history!
A few years into working at the kennel, an opportunity arose for Sheila to join a veterinary clinic as a receptionist. Within just a few short months, she began training to become a veterinary technician. Nearly 12 years later and she still loves what she does! Sheila recently joined The Pet Doctor team after working at a clinic in Garland for over a decade. Professionally, she enjoys working as a surgical technician. There’s always something new to learn with surgery.
Outside of work, Sheila is the proud mother of four children and grandmother to 10. Her fur family consists of two retired barrel horses, a couple of donkeys, two cats and six dogs. Sheila and her husband own a travel trailer and go camping (or “glamping”) quite frequently. Sheila’s other pastimes include motorcycling, kayaking, taking walks, going to the beach, and spending quality time with her grandkids.
Dorina A.
Surgery Supervisor
Dorina is originally from Romania, where she was always struck by the lack of proper care for pets. She knew that she wanted to make a difference in the lives of animals in whatever way she could. That’s why Dorina decided to become a veterinary professional! She’s been a part of the Pet Doctor family since the very beginning, and looks forward to continuing to care for the pets and animal parents of the area as the head of the surgery department.
Dorina’s veterinary career started when she signed on as a Kennel Technician. She soon realized that she wanted to do more hands-on work to care for pets, so she gained more experience by working in both general and emergency practices. She’s been working with Dr. Keith Webb since 1989, and has been here at Pet Doctor since the hospital’s doors opened for business.
Around the clinic, Dorina enjoys placing IV catheters and monitoring pets under anesthesia during surgery and teeth cleanings… and making sure they’re as comfortable as possible during their recoveries. Her absolute favorite part of the job is the relationships she’s formed with her clients and patients over the years—nothing beats seeing generations of pet owners come to the hospital for their pet care needs!
Alondra G.
Surgical Technician
When Alondra was in 6th grade, her Chihuahua, Cliff, got loose and went missing. After three days of frantic searching, Cliff was found injured in a nearby park. The experience made Alondra realize how much she wanted to help animals, which would ultimately inspire her to pursue a career in the veterinary industry.
Alondra’s journey began at an animal shelter, where she spent two years cleaning kennels and walking dogs. Eventually, she worked her way up to the role of veterinary technician. Feeling the urge to learn more, Alondra transitioned to a vet clinic, and joined the Pet Doctor team in May of 2024. Professionally, she enjoys surgery and radiography.
At home, Alondra is happily married with two fur-children, both mini dachshunds. Dolly is the sweetest dog and will love on anyone she meets, and Harvey is also sweet, but will bark if he’s not being pet. When she’s not working, Alondra enjoys spending time with family, and either playing or watching soccer.

Surgical Technician
Bio coming soon!
Yenixa R.
Surgical Technician
Most of Yeni’s childhood was spent on her family’s ranch in Cuba. This experience awakened in her a deep and lasting passion for animals. After witnessing a man abusing a horse who didn’t want to work, Yeni knew she needed to do more to help protect and care for these precious souls. A career in the veterinary industry seemed the ideal solution.
Yeni studied veterinary medicine in her home country and became a licensed DVM in 2000. Professionally, she loves sharing her surgical skills to help pets in need.

Pharmacy & Quality Control
For Kevin, veterinary medicine is truly a family affair. His wife, Annamarie, serves as the hospital’s chief administrator! When she needed a reliable person to supervise the Technician team here at the clinic, Kevin was happy to step up—he’s been a member of the clinic team ever since.
Kevin was raised in East Texas and has lived here all his life. He joined the Pet Doctor team in March of 2019 on the recommendation of his wife, and he’s been enjoying every moment since. Kevin particularly likes helping to maintain a sense of structure and comradery around the clinic, and he loves to meet new people and their pets on a daily basis.

Anel M.
Customer Service Representative
Some of Nellie’s earliest childhood memories were of time spent on her grandfather’s farm, surrounded by creatures large and small. This experience fostered a deep and lasting love of animals and inspired Nellie to one day pursue a career that would allow her to be a voice for those who cannot speak. As a CSR here at Pet Doctor, Nellie is thrilled to be fulfilling her lifelong dream!
Nellie began her career at a different clinic before joining Pet Doctor in December of 2021. Professionally, she loves learning about pet emergencies and how to respond when one is presented. Her favorite part of the job, though, is interacting with clients and getting to know the unique personalities of their beloved animal family members.
At home, Nellie is pet mom to a loyal dog named Jack, who is fiercely protective of her and follows her wherever she goes. In her spare time, Nellie enjoys reading books, gardening, going to concerts, and listening to metal music. She is currently bilingual but has a goal of becoming multilingual in the very near future.
Crystal L.
Customer Service Representative
Crystal was constantly around animals while growing up in her hometown of San Angelo, Texas. She even helped her father to care for the creatures on his ranch. There was truly never a dull moment, and Crystal never forgot the intense bonds she formed with her childhood companions. A career in veterinary medicine simply made sense!
Crystal’s veterinary journey began at an animal clinic in Bellevue, Nebraska in 2001. As a military spouse, she moved overseas in 2004, then returned to the United States from Germany in 2010. Crystal relocated to Texas and joined the Pet Doctor family in September of 2011, where she now serves as the supervisor of the clinic’s Customer Service Representative team. Her favorite part of her work is the way that it constantly keeps her on her toes—there are always new challenges to conquer on a daily basis, and Crystal finds that she never stops learning.
Crystal’s interests outside of veterinary medicine include traveling—she feels fortunate to have seen many areas of the world thanks to military life!—and spending time with her own pets at home. She has two Chihuahua mixes: Nani, who thinks she’s a hunting dog, and Niko, whose calm and gentle demeanor stands in sharp contrast to his sister.
Jessie C.
Customer Service Representative
Ever since she was a young child, Jessie has always wanted to work with animals. As one of the receptionists here at Pet Doctor, Jessie is fulfilling her lifelong dream and loving every minute of it. She enjoys helping people and their pets in any way she can.
Jessie has two dogs of her own, Layla and Macie, who pretty much sleep all day. She also has a lizard who sits on her shoulder. In her free time, you can usually find Jessie reading or playing with her pups.
Lacee P.
Customer Service Representative
When Lacee Pearson was younger, she always had a love for animals and a desire to help them. She got her very first opportunity when her cat Sugar went into labor and began experiencing complications. Lacee jumped into action immediately, helping to clear the kittens’ airways and saving their lives. It was at that very moment when she decided she wanted to work in the veterinary industry one day.
Lacee officially began to pursue her dream in 1988, when she enrolled for courses at the Veterinary Technician Institute in Dallas. Upon graduation, she was hired as a Vet Tech at a clinic where she spent 11 years. From there, she joined a different practice where she worked for 18 years. In September of 2021, Lacee joined the Pet Doctor team. In her role as CSR, she enjoys greeting our clients and their pets, answering questions and assisting in any way she can.
At home, Lacee cares for her two senior dogs: a Lhasa Apso named Trotter and a bossy long haired Chihuahua terrier mix named Foxy. In her spare time, Lacee enjoys gardening, which she finds both relaxing and rewarding. She also loves to fish, which she has been doing since she was old enough to hold a pole in her hand.
Dana M.
Customer Service Representative
After earning her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology in 2015, Dana McMahon set out to make a difference in mental health. But over time, Dana noticed a painful truth: not everyone is ready to accept help. That realization led her to animals—creatures who can’t speak for themselves, but whose needs are always honest and urgent.
Her journey began as a volunteer with animal rescue transports, helping move animals from shelters to safety. The experience was eye-opening and heartbreaking, but it also lit a spark. From there, Dana became a kennel technician, then found her way to Pet Doctor in September 2021 as a part-time Customer Service Representative—seamlessly balancing this role alongside full-time work in animal control.
Dana brings more than scheduling to the front desk—she offers empathy, experience, and a deep understanding of animal behavior and client care. Her background allows her to support pet owners through difficult conversations, offer behavioral tips, and help them feel truly heard.
The bond shared with her first dog, Nala Rose, was life-changing. The runt of the litter, Nala was there for Dana through medical challenges, heartbreak, and a cross-country move. That connection inspired Dana to pursue animal care—and even after Nala’s passing, her legacy of love continues to guide Dana’s work every day.
At home, Dana’s pack includes her husband Dan, their new baby Liam, and a vibrant crew of pets: three German Shepherds (Nala, Rex, and Zeus), one spunky Aussie mix (Dixie), and two flame-point cats (Zero and Mowgli), each with their own quirks and personalities. When she’s not working, you’ll likely find Dana deep into a good book, crafting something new (she taught herself to crochet left-handed!), or piecing together a puzzle with laser focus.
Dana approaches every interaction with warmth, patience, and a deep understanding of what it means to be part of a healing journey—for both people and their pets.
Sig a.k.a. “Piggy”
Clinic Greeter
In December of 2023, Piggy hit hard times, he was down on his luck, lonely, and facing a pretty serious health issue. He felt that he would never find his forever home. But, Piggy’s luck was about to change! You see there was a man named Kevin who’s heart ached daily because he loved Frenchie’s, but couldn’t have one because his wife said that they snore way too loud and Kevin’s snoring was already a huge challenge for her. Yet, everyday when Kevin would go to work, it seemed as if clients were always bringing in cute and adorable Frenchie’s…Kevin’s team members felt his pain and always made sure to bring every single Frenchie to see Kevin so he could love on them and play with them, but at the end of day Kevin was still feeling alone and empty inside with no future hope of one day having his very own Frenchie. But, that all changed one morning when Kevin’s “AMAZING” wife decided to surprise him at work with his very own “Piggy”. Kevin’s eyes filled with tears, he couldn’t believe this was really happening and he certainly didn’t believe that this was his very own Frenchie…It was love at first sight for the both of them. Everybody jumped for joy and gathered around to love Piggy and express their happiness for Kevin. Piggy instantly became everyone’s friend, eluding joy wherever he went. Staff loved him, clients loved him, even other dogs loved him. After seeing all the joy that Piggy brought to our clinic we decided to offer him a full time position as our Clinic Greeter.. Piggy was shocked by this generous offer, he instantly lapsed into a crazy zoomie! He absolutely LOVES his job here and he’s truly dedicated to bringing happiness and smiles to everyone he encounters at Pet Doctor. Piggy also enjoys long naps, chasing balls, zoomies, kisses, cuddles, and daily closet battles with his dad. Piggy has been a wonderful asset to the Pet Doctor team.
Megan S.
Veterinary Technician
Megan’s path to veterinary medicine began with a deep love for animals—and a mother who encouraged that love every step of the way. Growing up in Virginia Beach, Megan started volunteering at the Virginia Zoo at just 15 years old. That experience sparked a fascination with animal behavior and conservation, eventually leading her to a role in the zoo’s education department, working closely with exotic animal ambassadors. But it wasn’t until she took a part-time job at a local veterinary clinic that she discovered her true calling: helping pets and their people through every stage of life.
Since then, Megan has worked in fast-paced clinics in Virginia and Texas, supporting everything from routine care to emergencies, and treating dogs, cats, exotic pets—even livestock. In 2025, she joined Pet Doctor and quickly found a home in its supportive, compassionate culture.
For Megan, veterinary medicine is about more than cute puppies and kittens (though she’ll never turn down a cuddle). It’s about showing up on the hard days—when pets are sick, scared, or saying goodbye—and offering kindness, expertise, and comfort. She’s especially honored to support families during end-of-life care, quietly stepping in with a final kiss and loving words when an owner can’t be present. “Those moments are tough,” she says, “but they remind me why I’m here.”
Megan also finds joy in diagnostics like x-rays and lab work—she loves uncovering what’s going on beneath the surface—and in mentoring new technicians, just like others once mentored her.
Now living in Rowlett with her husband, their son Kenneth, and their goofy hound dog Hank, Megan still carries the lessons her parents taught her: always stay curious, and never stop learning. Outside of the clinic, she enjoys making keepsakes like resin art, candles, and memorial pieces—unique creations that help others hold onto meaningful memories, much like the work she does every day at Pet Doctor.
Javiaun J.
Certified Veterinary Assistant
Javiun Johnson—known to most as Javi—never planned on finding a career on a front porch. But one day, when a small lost dog wandered up to her home, she brought him to Pet Doctor to be scanned for a microchip. Today, she’s a Certified Veterinary Assistant pursuing her dream of becoming a veterinarian at the very same clinic.
Javi’s passion for veterinary medicine began after the loss of her childhood Chihuahua, Starr. The experience left her with unanswered questions and a drive to understand pet health—sparking a calling to educate and advocate for pets and their people. And as an aspiring veterinarian, she’s proud to help bring greater diversity to a field where less than 2% of veterinarians are African American.
Javi’s journey began in high school, where she pursued every animal science course available before earning her Veterinary Assistant Certification from Cedar Valley College. She gained hands-on experience during four formative years at Mobile Pet Hospital. One of her most defining moments came with her rescue dog, Lola Noni, who was suddenly paralyzed. Despite being advised to let go, Javi committed eight months to Lola’s recovery—and today, she’s walking again. That experience deepened Javi’s commitment to being a fierce advocate for animals, no matter the odds.
At Pet Doctor, Javi enjoys radiology. She’s drawn to its complexity, its diagnostic power, and the detailed focus it requires—qualities she hopes to specialize one day soon.
Outside the clinic, Javi stays active with yoga, runs a small pet-sitting business, and loves to travel. She aspires to study in Africa and work with wildlife there. At home, she shares life with three beloved pets: Precious, a sweet but clueless Chiweenie; Raphael, a bossy rescue who lives for belly rubs; and Lola Noni, her resilient miracle dog. Whether supporting a surgery, guiding a wellness check, or helping families through tough moments, Javi brings passion, determination, and care to every part of her work.
