Meet the Team at Dr. Domotor's Animal House

I was born and raised right here in Monrovia and recently finished my bachelor’s degree at San Diego State University. I have worked as a veterinary receptionist for four years. I love working with animals and seeing their cute faces every day! I have two pet rats, Willow and Fig, my favorite little mischief-makers. In my free time, I love to go to the beach. I’m so excited to work at Animal House Veterinary and see your lovely fur babies!

I am from California. I’ve been with the Animal House several times over the years and have done a little bit of everything. I loved working in the kennel and currently working as a receptionist. My drive for working in the veterinary field is the animals. I’ve been passionate about animals since I was a kid, and seeing them happy and healthy makes me happy. I have two kids, and I have 4 fur babies: Nala (a Belgian Malinois), Zoe (a small Poodle mix), and my two kitties named Frankie and Merida. In my free time, I enjoy going to Disneyland with my kids. I also enjoy fitness and the outdoors.

I was born and raised in Glendora, California. I attended the veterinary technician program at Carrington College in Pomona and received my associate’s degree in Animal Science. I worked for a mobile veterinary clinic for four years and have been working at Animal House Veterinary for three years. I remember getting my first cat at the age of 3, and that was when I knew I wanted to be in the veterinary field. I have always felt a connection with animals, and I love being the voice for the voiceless. I get easily attached to my fur patients, and some days are emotionally harder than others, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I currently have one cat named Elvis; he is six years old and the best cuddle buddy. I just recently got a puppy named Bubbles. I love attending concerts in my free time.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I have been in the vet field for three years, one year as a receptionist and two years as a technician assistant. I love learning how to help our fur babies and give them the best lives. I have a fun furry pack of seven dogs and one cat. I love the outdoors, so hiking and walks are always a great way to pass the time. If I’m not enjoying the outdoors, I enjoy cuddling in bed with the pups by my window with a good book and some music.

I am from Albany, Georgia. I’ve been in the veterinary field since 1999. My drive for working in the veterinary field is my love of animals. I like being able to help pets when they can’t help themselves. I have a guppy fish. In my free time, I enjoy going to estate sales on the weekends.

I am from Duarte, California. I started off volunteering with a rescue called Hand in Paw in 2016. I went to adoption events and fostered and even adopted a few animals. I then knew that I wanted to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. After graduating high school in 2021, I started working here in a kennel while attending school as a veterinary assistant. After finishing school and getting the proper training, I moved to the veterinary assistant position. My drive for working in the veterinary field is knowing that I’m helping those who cannot speak, giving them a second chance, and being able to return the love and happiness they give us, as well as doing what little me had always wanted to do since I was about six years old. I plan to further my education to make more of a difference for fur babies. I have a fur baby of my own, and his name is Binx, after the cat in Hocus Pocus. He is a one-year-old crazy tuxedo. I enjoy swimming at the beach, watching movies with Binx, going to concerts, and listening to music.

I was born in Tijuana, Mexico. I came here when I was six years old. I’ve been in animal care for over 22 years and have some grooming experience. My drive for working in the vet field is to keep people’s fur babies healthy and happy and to provide comfort to our clients, knowing their pet is in good hands. I will do my best to care for them as I would my own, going above and beyond what is expected of me. Our patients deserve that! Currently, I have two pets of my own: an orange and white tabby named Charlie and a domestic shorthair named Mia. I love to eat! Mexican is my favorite food, but I’m open to just about anything. I also love to read and do crossword puzzles. I walk to try and stay in shape.

I am from here in Monrovia. This is my first job as a veterinary technician assistant/kennel assistant. I love the animals here, and my fellow staff are kind and welcoming. My drive for working in the veterinary field is to learn more about the world of pets and how I can help them have a happy, healthy life. I also care for your fur babies with love and sympathy as if they were my own. I currently have two dogs: one is a white lab mix, and the other is a chocolate lab mix. They are such goofballs, and I love them so much. I love animals and drawing. During my free time, I enjoy going out with my friends, seeing concerts, and dancing.

I grew up in Kentucky and moved to Los Angeles in 1988, where I worked as a police officer for the LAPD for 20 years. I currently live in San Dimas. I finished school at Mt. Sac in 2007 and received my RVT license in 2008. I have been working as a technician ever since. I have been at Animal House Veterinary since November 2017. I love caring for animals. There is a great sense of fulfillment and satisfaction when I am able to help animals that are sick or injured. I have dogs, cats, horses, goats, iguanas, snakes, birds, a donkey, a rabbit, a tortoise, and a koi pond. I have a great interest in reptiles and have done quite a bit of rescue and rehabilitation. I also train my own horses and do a lot of trail riding.

I am from Los Angeles. I am experienced in multiple areas of the veterinary field, from domestic to exotic animals to equine and farm. We are the voice of the animals; if we stay silent, they aren’t heard. They give us unconditional love and make this field very rewarding to be able to help them. I have four dogs, one cat, three horses, and many fish. I became SAG-AFTRA after falling into a Blackberry commercial I did with my rescue horse. I also have a metal business where I cut and make bracelet blanks from metal sheets, and clients stamp and sell them. I love gardening outdoors and am 100% devoted to my fur kids, who make it all worthwhile.

I was born in Pasadena and am currently living in West Covina. I interned at Inland Valley Shelter and now defunct Chino Hills Urgent Care Pet Clinic while in school for the RVT program from 2016-2022. I worked at Inland Shelter from 2022-2023 before being hired here. I became an RVT last November. I have been interested in animals since I was a young kid, but I really strove for the veterinary field after my pet rabbit, Joey, died in 2013. I currently have a cat named Shadow, a crested gecko named Papaya, and three spiders named Phil, Lil, and Tiny. In my free time, I like drawing dragons, sewing, and Five Nights at Freddy’s. I want to work with exotic pets one day.

I was born and raised in SoCal. I have 21+ years of experience in general practice, shelter medicine, emergency and critical care, surgery, internal medicine, and management. My drive for working in the veterinary field is waking up to my dogs and realizing I’d do anything for them. Also, knowing there are millions of pets out there that need help from someone with my background and veterinary professionals from all walks of life who can benefit from my experience in this realm. I have two scheming and clever Dobermans named Eddie the Trooper and Hanji-Zoe, who would dominate Planet Earth… if I didn’t feed them or give them belly rubs. I am a retired touring musician, was the drummer for a famous rock band once upon a time, and no, I won’t tell you which one! Music=life. I’m also a former Formula Drift Pro-Am Champion and a craft beer brewer.
