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.  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.     

Kyla, Registered Veterinary Technician 

Kyla is our full-time vet tech  She was a student at the Maple Woods Veterinary Technician program at Metropolitan Community College.  She graduated in 2020 and is a registered veterinary technician.  She is trained in many minor procedures like drawing blood, nail trims, and anal glands so can handle certain patient visits without doctor interference.  In her free time she loves to cook and bake, spend time with her cat, Gunner, and with her family.

Dani, Veterinary Assistant

Dani came to us as a job shadow for a high school project.  She enjoyed working here so in May 2020 she was hired as a veterinary assistant.   In her free time she enjoys pet sitting. She is exploring becoming a veterinary technician and loves learning new skills.  Her bubbly personality brightens the day. 

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.

Jules, Veterinary Assistant

Jules is new to Whole Health Pet Center as of summer, 2023. She has always had a love for animals and that’s what led to her coming aboard at our clinic. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her big dogs Daisy and Bentley.  She also loves traveling and going on drives. 

Beau, Feline Supervisor and Break Room Attendant

Beau is a former stray who came to us when we opened in 2014.  His face tells the story of the hard life of a stray cat with frost-bitten ears, broken teeth, and various scars including his right pupil.   

He has learned that living the life of a veterinary clinic mascot is much better than his previous one.    His skills include knocking small objects off counters, keeping the dogs in line, and warming laps.

If you’re missing a syringe or ball-point pen, ask Beau where it is.  He won’t tell you, but it will make you feel like you’ve done something about it.

His hobbies include food, treats, “making biscuits”, and tormenting small dogs.  He has a minor addiction to catnip-infused toys.

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. 

We’re still learning about her hobbies but right now they seem to be purring and playing with toys and the doctor’s whippet.
