Office Manager

Jessica

Jessica, originally from Michigan, grew up with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, mice, rabbits, birds, and reptiles, sparking a love for animals at a young age.

As she embarked on her college journey, Jessica found herself uncertain about her career path. However, her life took a significant turn when her dog fell seriously ill and passed away. This heart-wrenching experience encouraged her to explore the world of veterinary care. After considering veterinary school, and deciding not to pursue it, she began working for a breeder of daisy dogs which then led to her working at a veterinary clinic as a kennel worker, where her career path became clear. She made the decision to attend Baker College of Muskegon to pursue a degree in veterinary technology, where she graduated in 2004 and eventually became a Licensed Veterinary Technician.

During her time in the field, Jessica’s career evolved, and she served as a supervisor in the boarding and grooming department of an animal hospital. This experience not only strengthened her clinical skills but also revealed her natural leadership abilities.

Jessica has called Las Vegas home for the past three years. She has enjoyed the stunning landscapes of Lone Mountain and Mt. Charleston through her love for hiking with her dog, Zeke, a boxer-Pitbull mix . She also enjoys playing softball with friends.

Licensed Veterinary Technician

Blake

Originally from Overton, Nevada, Blake’s love for animals started at a young age. She grew up with a diverse array of animals including horses, cows, reptiles, cats, and dogs.

At the age of 18, Blake ventured beyond her hometown to explore the landscapes of Utah and Northern Nevada. 

During her journey, she took on a multitude of roles, including positions in sales. During her time in Ely, Nevada, a distressing incident involving her own dog, injured by another dog, revealed an unfortunate reality when the local vet was unable to provide immediate assistance. Blake was compelled to do everything in her power to keep her dog alive until she could find a vet capable of treating him. It was this pivotal moment that ignited her passion to help others facing similar predicaments.

In 2017, her journey led her to Las Vegas, where she embarked on a new chapter of her life by pursuing her education.

The transition to Las Vegas was nothing short of a culture shock for Blake. Having grown up in a town without bright lights and stop signs, where traffic consisted of tractors rather than cars, adapting to the bustling cityscape was a challenge. As she evolves in her career as a vet technician, Blake is beginning to recognize the multitude of opportunities that Las Vegas offers.

Before moving to Las Vegas, Blake volunteered at a camel safari and is now actively seeking opportunities to volunteer her time and continue her work with animals in the area.

When she’s not immersed in her work or volunteer efforts, Blake enjoys quality time with her cherished companions, including October, a long-haired cat, Wednesday Adams, a sleek black cat, and Mya, a friendly red-nosed Pitbull.
