Meet  Our Staff  

Sarah, Head Receptionist 

Sarah joined our team in the spring of 2018.  She has two grown kids and her smiling face brightens our reception area!  She’s the friendly voice answering our phones, making reminder calls, and greeting you when you arrive.  

Sarah has always had a love for animals and likes to interact with both our clients and our patients.  

She shares her home with her Maltese Bleu and various feathered friends.  In her spare time she loves to play with her granddaughter Alicia and cheer on her 49’ers.  

Sarah’s spirit animal is a sloth.     

Bailey, Registered Veterinary Technician

My name is Bailey and I have been in the animal welfare field for over 8 years. I am a Registered Veterinary Technologist and a certified Animal Control Officer. I graduated with my AAS in Veterinary Technology in 2019, attained my RVT license in the state of Missouri in 2019, and graduated with my BAS in Veterinary Technology in 2021. I have worked in veterinary clinics, animal shelters, wildlife rehabilitation centers, and ranches. Additionally, have attended many veterinary fieldwork operations overseas in places like Ecuador, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Peru. I have a wide variety of expertise in basic domestic animal husbandry, domestic veterinary medicine, clinical care of wildlife, shelter work, and even criminal cases relating to animal welfare. I love learning and consider myself a forever student. In my free time, I love reading, traveling, and snuggling with my dogs, Violet and Beatrice.

Chelsea,  Veterinary Assistant

Chelsea began as a Veterinary Assistant at Whole Health Pet Center in January 2025. You might find her in the exam room assisting with your pet, preparing samples for the Doctor, filling prescriptions, reviewing records, or greeting our wonderful clients at check in. She is always on the move! Her favorite part of working at Whole Health Pet Center is seeing the instant relief given to pets that come in for chiropractic care, and the improvements in mobility for acupuncture patients session after session. Like most people who enjoy companionship with animals, her love began in childhood. She grew up in rural Oklahoma and has fond memories of bringing home stray puppies and kittens to help find them homes, and watching wildlife in the woods
and plains near her hometown. Outside of work, she spends her free time hanging out with her tween & teen, catching up on her (growing) reading list, and loving on her own animals: Hook, Porky, Dante & Willow.

Vivian, Assistant Supervisor

Vivian was born in July, 2023 and Sarah brought her family in because their living conditions were unsafe.  Vivian won our hearts and we decided Beau needed an assistant as his age meant he was less able to keep the rest of the staff in line.  After Beau passed, Vivian took over his position. 

We’re still learning about her hobbies but right now they seem to be purring, jumping over the counter into the waiting room (let us know if that will be a problem for your pet!) and playing with toys and the doctor’s whippet.  

Bridget, Assistant Supervisor

Bridget came to us after being found as a young kitten tangled in wiring under Sarah’s house.  She’s a few months younger than Vivian and we decided the two kittens could keep each other company so Vivian wouldn’t feel so lonely on weekends.    Overall, she is a little more biddable than her roommate.  But two kittens in the office keep us hopping!

Beau, Feline Supervisor and Break Room Attendant, Memorial

R.I.P April 26, 2024

Beau was a former stray who came to us when we opened in 2014.  His face told the story of the hard life of a stray cat with frost-bitten ears, broken teeth, and various scars including his right pupil.   He eventually succumbed to age and the attendant health issues, somewhere in his teens.  We miss him and are grateful for his years of service.
