Hayley B., R.V.T.

Director of Operations

My name Is Hayley and I am the lead RVT here at Sunnycrest. I obtained my license in 2015, and have almost 14 years of experience working in primarily general practice. My love for animals started at a young age, when i was little i wanted to be a marine biologist. Once I started volunteering at the humane society, I realized the difference I could make as a technician, and pursued school while I continued to volunteer. Throughout my career I’ve had the opportunity to continue my education and have had extensive training in ultrasounds and dentistry.
I have also taken courses in k9 rehabilitation, and assisted in laproscopic and endoscopic procedures.
I have a passion in animal dentistry, and I love teaching our staff and clients new things.
In my free time I enjoy working out, rescuing bulldogs, paddleboarding at the beach with my Frenchie, or hanging out with my collection of animals (:

Erin

Senior Veterinary Assistant

My name is Erin. Just thought I would give you a quick run down on who I am & why my picture is here on the internet. I work for Sunnycrest Animal Care Center & love it. Of course, I love animals. I love to visit & play with all the animals here in our boarding facility. I know they miss their family when they are staying with us so I feel it is of great importance to pay extra attention to all of them. I also love that we have grooming. It is always fun to see the expression on the owners’ face when they see the beautiful job our groomers have done. Most of all I love it when we get the chance to assure the owners that everything is going to be ok, “Their pets are in good hands”.

Ashley

Administrative Assistant

Hi, I’m Ashley, the Administrative Assistant here at Sunnycrest!
Whether I’m keeping things organized behind the scenes, working with
pharmacists, or making sure our team has what they need, I love being
part of the care our patients receive. I’ve always had a soft spot for
animals, and Sunnycrest gives me the opportunity to combine that
passion with helping people every day. When I’m not at work, I’m
usually being supervised by my mischievous kitten, Malakai, who has
taught me that curiosity, persistence, and the occasional zoomies are
all part of life!
