I absolutely love working with animals and our team makes it so much fun to come to work everyday. Although I adore all of the animals who visit us, there is a special place in my heart for my own fur babies – Romeo and Penelope.”

Jamie

Veterinary Assistant

“I’ve worked at McAfee Animal Hospital since 2002, and had been a client for six years prior. I started out at the reception desk, but wanted to have more contact with the patients. So, I ended up changing positions. I have always loved animals and this job allows me to interact with them daily. I live in Valparaiso and am married to a wonderful man. We have a Irish Wolfhound “Leroy”.

Jessy

Veterinary Technician

I started as an intern in 2017. I then went to a veterinary technician college and received my license in 2020. I currently have a hound dog named Daizy and 2 cockatiels ( Marley and Cupid ). We like to go on adventures and listen to punk rock music together. I decided to become a vet tech because when I was growing up I struggled making friends, so I became friends with all kinds of animals. This job has given me the opportunity to give back to them and their owners.
