Our Care Team

Your pet’s emotional and physical well-being is prioritized with every visit. We put the needs of your pet first!

Lisa

Hotel Manager

Lisa

Having been an animal lover her entire life, Lisa knew she would eventually work with them full-time in some capacity. The opportunity finally came when her daughter, Dr. Skye Reed, a vet at our sister hospital next door, helped get her foot in the door. As much as Lisa loved her previous career working with special needs high school students, she jumped at the offer to work here at Valley Pet Hotel.  

In her role as manager, Lisa helps to ensure that our pet hotel runs like a well-oiled machine. And when the office work gets tedious, she heads to the playroom to spend time on the floor with the dogs. It truly brightens her day. When she needs some peace and quiet, Lisa chills in the cat room, taking in all the purrs she can get. These are perks you simply can’t get with any other job!

Along with her two grown human children, Lisa has several four-legged babies as well, including three dogs, two cats, and a horse. Eunice Jane is a Redbone Coonhound mix, Fergus Dale is an American Eskimo mix, and Leonard James is a long-haired Dachshund. Seamus Michael is a tuxedo cat that Lisa bottle fed from five days old. And the latest family member just showed up at the doorstep a week ago: little Aleister Crowley is a little black kitten.

In addition to Lisa’s career in teaching and business, she is also a published writer. Her other hobbies include horseback riding, watching Kings and Reign hockey, and cheering on the LA Rams. Lisa’s whole life has been one big adventure. From traveling the world for 20 years with her ex-husband, who is in one of the world’s biggest rock bands, to raising two incredible girls, it’s all been surreal and amazing.

Maria

Kennel Assistant

Maria

From a very young age, Maria has always loved and advocated for animals. One of her earliest childhood memories was helping remove a field mouse from a glue trap. It wasn’t until she found three newborn kittens under her neighbors’ home and raised them that Maria fell in love with the veterinary field. Knowing how many animals are in need, Maria strives to be a voice for the voiceless and help as many of these precious babies as she can!

Maria initially went to school for pre-med, majoring in biology, but ultimately made the decision to switch to veterinary medicine after fostering kittens and volunteering for the local humane society. Maria joined the Valley Pet Hotel team in December of 2023, and still loves coming to work every day! The fact that pet parents trust her with their beloved family members is an honor Maria doesn’t take lightly. Her future plans include enrolling in veterinary school and earning her DVM.

Currently, Maria shares her home with five cats (Sunshine, Nosie, Chucky, Cholula and Valentine), and one guinea pig named Peggy Sue. All of the kitties are so spoiled that they have their own room, affectionately referred to as ‘the cat room.’ Some of Maria’s hobbies include crocheting, playing the keyboard, interior design, taking 0.5 lens pictures of her cats and making moody TikTok videos about rainy days and autumn weather.

Suzanne

Kennel Assistant

Suzanne

Ever since Suzy was a child, pets have always been a bright spot in her life. As a result, she began pet-sitting and volunteering at every opportunity. Animals bring so much joy to us humans and they deserve to live the best lives possible. Playing a role in accomplishing this goal brings Suzy a tremendous sense of purpose.

Longing to do something that she truly cared about, Suzy joined the Valley Pet Hospital team in July of 2024. In her role as kennel attendant, she especially enjoys the love that she’s able to give and receive, both from humans and animals alike. 

At home, Suzy has one pet of her own: a rescue dog named Bosco. While Bosco knows many tricks, the most impressive by far is his ability to speak actual words. His go-to phrase is “I love you,” but he’ll learn to say just about anything for a treat. In addition to her work here at VPH, Suzy is also a seasoned Etch-a-Sketch artist and owns a business selling portraits of people and their pets. 

Victoria R.

Kennel Assistant

Victoria R.

Growing up in a household of six, Vicky can’t remember a time when her family didn’t have pets. From dogs and reptiles to birds and pocket pets, Vicky’s upbringing inspired her to seek a career working with animals. Helping pets and nourishing them back to health has been the most fulfilling experience of her life.

Vicky’s journey began when she joined Valley Pet Hotel in July of 2024. She had been searching for an environment where she could get her feet wet, gain some hands-on experience, and start learning more about the professional side of animal care. As a kennel attendant, Vicky loves taking care of our furry visitors—especially the regulars. Getting to know their unique personalities has been so much fun!

At home, Vicky has several pets of her own, including a chihuahua named Yazhi, a bearded dragon named Rocko, a rabbit named Sugar, three parakeets, a Russian tortoise named Tank, and a cat named Rain, who was rescued from an alley during a hurricane.

Rebecca

Kennel Attendant

Rebecca

Rebecca grew up in Highland with her parents, brothers, and lots of animals. It wasn’t until she had the opportunity to work with exotics that her true passion was discovered. After volunteering at an exotic animal sanctuary for several years, Rebecca decided to dedicate her life to caring for and helping animals in any way she could.

Prior to joining Valley Pet Hotel, Rebecca spent some time as a dog bather and a kennel assistant, working specifically with German Shepherds. When she saw a job opening at VPH, she jumped at the chance, and the rest is history! Rebecca’s favorite part of the job is seeing the happiness of our guests, which they demonstrate through their wiggles and kisses.

Outside of work, Rebecca has a multitude of pets, including two dogs, four cats (Sobe, Levi, Weasley, and Ivy), two cockatiels (Jack and Quincy), and two parakeets (Creek and River). Cody is a sweet mutt who loves ice cream cups, and Jasper is a husky who loves to talk with a toy in his mouth. Ivy is the only girl kitty of the bunch. Aside from animals, Rebecca’s other interests include drawing, crocheting, and other arts and crafts.

Nicole

Kennel Assistant

Nicole

When Nicole was younger, she owned a horse named Junior—a black stallion with a wild spirit. Slowly but surely, Nicole earned his trust and discovered that with time and kindness, even the most guarded hearts can be opened. Over the years, Junior became more than just a pet to Nicole, but a true friend and ultimately the inspiration for her future career path.

An aspiring veterinary medicine student, Nicole learned about an opening here at Valley Pet Hotel and decided to put her many years of experience with animals to good use. She applied for the job, and the rest is history! As one of our kennel attendants, Nicole loves caring for our guests and treating them as if they were her very own.

Outside of work, Nicole is pet-mom to a husky named Kiba, a grumpy cat named Winter, and another kitty who is chubby and demands attention 24/7. Aside from animals, one of Nicole’s biggest interests is school. Having overcome many obstacles to earn her high school diploma, she now plans to stay in school for as long as she can!

Sage

Kennel Assistant

Sage

Sage has been an animal lover their whole life. From a young age, they were interested not only in caring for animals, but also learning as much about them as possible. When Sage realized their favorite part of working in food service was seeing dogs in the drive-through, it became abundantly clear it was time to pursue their true passion: working with animals.

As one of the kennel assistants here at Valley Pet Hotel, Sage enjoys training dogs and helping them learn through positive reinforcement. It’s pretty amazing when you can get a dog to understand and listen to what you’re telling them. They also enjoy playing and interacting with cats. In fact, Sage hopes to one day open their own cat café/rescue. 

Outside of work, Sage has four spoiled cats (Ollie, Eclipse, Merlin, and Hope), and an energetic dog named Cash. Some of Sage’s hobbies include playing volleyball, musical theater, and music in general. They are currently in a choir at their college and hope to eventually join one of the musical performances.
