Tiffany

Tiffany

Licensed Veterinary Technician

Tiffany has been a pet owner her entire life, and has always felt a close kinship with the earth’s creatures. The fact that her grandmother kept everything from cats and birds to rabbits and turtles only deepened her passion—for Tiffany, veterinary medicine was the only career path out there! She’s been working as a veterinary professional since she was only 16 years old, and she’s proud to continue her journey in animal medicine here at Critter Care Animal Hospital.

Tiffany is a native of Henderson, Nevada and was still in high school when she first started as a dog-walker for a local kennel. She attended the PIMA Medical Institute to earn her veterinary credentials, graduating as a Licensed Veterinary Technician, before launching her career as an animal-care professional. Tiffany joined the Critter Care Animal Hospital family in May of 2017 and couldn’t be happier—she’s especially fond of helping with surgeries and performing foreign-body removals. Her favorite part of the job, though, is watching pets mature over time and getting to know their loving owners.

At home, Tiffany and her girlfriend live with multiple pets of their own. They have four dogs—Agnes the French bulldog; a spoiled Chow mix named Lilly; and two Cavalier King Charles spaniels who go by Tucker and Piper—as well as three cats. Tiffany even belongs to French bulldog and Cavalier King Charles spaniel meet-up organizations, and loves getting together with other breed owners multiple times a year!

When you have a passion to learn about and help animals from all walks of life, you just may end up finding yourself in the veterinary world at some point. Sarah can definitely relate, as she has always been eager to learn about and experience working with animals. Now that she’s a licensed veterinary technician at Creature Comforts Animal Hospital, she gets to live out her dream every single day!

Born in southern California, Sarah has spent a large portion of her life in Las Vegas. She grew up in a family where everyone is athletically-inclined, so she took up softball. She also engaged in other hobbies that would nurture her creative side like art, painting, writing and reading.

After starting a job at an animal hospital in Las Vegas, Sarah discovered that she had a passion for small animals and exotic ones. She was eager to learn more about animals and the various environments they came from, so she began taking vet tech classes.

Sarah has always enjoyed learning and expanding her knowledge; the “how” and the “whys” of things have always intrigued her. So when it comes to her role at Creature Comforts Animal Hospital, she finds herself fascinated by subjects like diagnostic imaging, acupuncture therapy and physical therapy.

Currently, Sarah has 2 cats and 6 ferrets who keep her busy as a “pet mom.” She loves playing video games, watching anime and follows astrology. She also still draws, paints and writes when time permits!

Melissa’s passion for animal care started when she was six years old and saved aluminum cans to help purchase her first horse, Thunder. Her dream only grew from there. For Melissa, working hands-on with the earth’s creatures to help them live happier, healthier lives is the only career path that makes sense! She’s proud to serve as the Treatment Manager here at Creature Comforts Animal Hospital.

Melissa is a Las Vegas native and earned her degree in animal science from Colorado State University before returning to her home state to work as a Veterinary Technician.

Melissa earned her Master’s degree in educational leadership from the University of Las Vegas in 2008, and became the Veterinary Clinic Manager at the university the following year. After more than 15 years working in veterinary nursing and technology education, Melissa decided to transition back to small-animal care and joined the team here at Creature Comforts Animal Hospital in October of 2020.

Natalie

Natalie

Licensed Veterinary Technician

Natalie’s first dog, Mesha, was given to her at the age of four. Ever since, she’s wanted to do everything in her power to help all of the animals she possibly could. Natalie has always known she wanted to become a veterinary professional—now, she’s a Licensed Veterinary Technician!

Natalie is originally from Utah and moved to Las Vegas with her family during her final year of high school. After graduation, she attended the PIMA Medical Institute to study veterinary technology.

Evelin

Evelin

Manager

Furry or non-furry – Evelin loves them all! Having worked in customer service for more than two decades, she has certainly honed her skills at helping others, and this is obvious in her role as Creature Comforts’ beloved Practice Manager. Educating people on the products and services that best fit their pets’ needs brings a sense of joy and fulfillment to her heart!

Even as a teenager, Evelin always enjoyed working. A wise mentor once told her that in order to succeed, one must create a plan to accomplish things and then put them into motion. Over the years, in her various roles, Evelin applied that advice by becoming a master at whatever it was she was tasked with. From there, she would share her knowledge with others. This naturally led her into the management field. Professionally, Evelin lists communication as the secret to her career success.

A true animal lover, Evelin has never viewed her dogs as pets, but rather her children. She rescued her current kiddo, Mojo – a Siberian Husky – when he was two years old. At the time, he weighed just 24 pounds. Determined to give him a better life, Evelin was able to get him up to 70 pounds in about 60 days.

Over the years, Mojo has repaid his fur-mommy by also saving her life on more than one occasion. As an asthma sufferer, Evelin has experienced a few medical emergencies during the night. Each time, sensing something was wrong, Mojo sought help and alerted someone else in the household to call 9-1-1. Not surprisingly, the two share an unbreakable bond.

Aside from working with the clients, patients and staff of Creature Comforts – and, of course, spending time with Mojo – Evelin enjoys sketching, painting and crafting. She also plays volleyball, both recreationally as well as competitively, and looks forward every year to going all out for her favorite holiday, Christmas.

Shawn

Veterinary Assistant

For a while, Shawn was working at a job where he wasn’t happy. He decided to change gears and try doing something new – he decided to start working with animals. Now he is a veterinary assistant at Creature Comforts Animal Hospital, where he not only wakes up every day excited to go to work. He’s also able to see different animals every day, which keeps a big smile on his face!

Being around animals is something Shawn is accustomed to. He grew up in a household that had every animal you could think of, including cats, dogs, turtles, fish, rodents, birds and even turtles. He also worked part time at his uncle’s boarding kennel. This environment helped him develop a deep appreciation and love for animals, especially for dogs. In fact, he hopes to one day become a professional dog trainer, so working in a veterinary environment will help prepare him for that.

Shawn currently has a red sable German Shepherd named Koba, who is very active outdoors but reserved indoors. The dog is very intuitive and will closely observe people’s actions, to the point where he will open drawers and figure out where meat and treats are kept!

Caihla

Greeter

Caihla once had a friend who worked at an animal hospital. That friend would gush and rave to her about how amazing, warm and welcoming the staff at the hospital was. Caihla became intrigued and wanted to experience it for herself. So she decided to join the staff at Creature Comforts Animal Hospital as a greeter, and has absolutely loved it!

While Caihla has wanted to work with and be around animals, she has other reasons for wanting to get into the veterinary world. As the owner of several pets herself, she always wanted to witness the magic that happens behind the scenes at an animal hospital whenever people drop their pets off at the vet. She also wanted to make pet owners smile and brighten their days by helping their animals. Being at Creature Comforts Animal Hospital has given her the opportunity to do all of this.

Having grown up in Las Vegas, Caihla’s number one interest in life was having fun. More often than not, that “fun” included spending time with her friends, family and of course, her beloved pets. She currently has three pets: her chihuahua named Chloe, a chiwinnie named Winnie, and a mini Dachshund named Roxie. Each dog has its own unique personality.

In her free time, Caihla loves to go hiking and she enjoys writing and watching movies. Sometimes, she’ll even hop in a car and go joyriding without any particular destination in mind!

Born and raised in Las Vegas to Guatemalan parents, Jen was raised in a pretty small family – and that’s where her adorable Shih Tzu dog comes into the picture! Not only is her dog the ultimate companion, he is a source of her happiness and has also inspired her to pursue her dreams in life. Simply feeding, nurturing and walking him gives her a deeper appreciation of animals as a pet-owner, and that helps her relate to animals at the clinic.

Samantha

Samantha

Licensed Veterinary Technician

No matter the shape, size or breed, Samantha loves all animals equally. As a licensed veterinary technician at Creature Comforts Animal Hospital, “Sam” knows just how important these adorable creatures are to their families. She does everything in her power to help solve their issues so they can go back home to their beloved families!

Sam’s passion for her field first kicked in when her first dog, Pasha, became ill. She didn’t know anything about veterinary medicine at the time, so she took her dog to a nearby veterinarian. The vet was able to diagnose the problem and heal Pasha with an array of medications and treatments, and process that fascinated Sam.

It was at that moment she decided to not feel helpless when it came to helping animals, and be able to handle any future issues that came her pet’s way. The same preventative measures that she took for her beloved dog Pasha are the measures she wants to take for the pets of her clients at Creature Comforts Animal Hospital.

Alyssa

Alyssa

LVT in training

Whenever someone is referred to as a “people person,” it’s usually because they’re relaxed and easygoing around people. Following this logic, Alyssa can be considered an “animal person,” due to her special connection with animals. As a licensed veterinary technician in training at Creature Comforts Animal Hospital, Alyssa relishes the opportunity to make friends with furry creatures every day!

Alyssa was born and raised in Montana. She worked at an animal clinic in high school, then attended Utah State University, where she earned a degree in Animal Science. After she moved back home, she was able to continue working as a veterinary technician. Then the opportunity to move to Nevada and work at Creature Comforts presented itself, and Alyssa grabbed it.

Alyssa enjoys many aspects of being at Creature Comforts, but her favorite part is developing relationships with clients and animals. She also loves the fact that she’s constantly learning new things. In fact, she loves learning so much that she’s currently studying to get a second bachelor’s degree, and then hopes to apply to veterinary school and specialize in equine orthopedics.

Currently, Alyssa has two dogs named Ollie and Huck, and they keep her busy when she’s not at the clinic. Ollie is the talker who lets those around know exactly how he feels, while Huck is the young, aggressive puppy who will try to lead people to places. Alyssa’s other hobbies include fly, fishing, hiking, riding horses and hunting. As you can tell, she’s a big fan of the great outdoors!

Jamie

Jamie

Veterinary Assistant

Growing up in Fairfax, VA, Jamie spent a great deal of time hiking and camping in the Shenandoah Mountains. It was that frequent exposure to nature that cultivated her love for exploring the outdoors, and naturally, her love for seeking out the critters that were close by. Between the many dogs she and her family fostered and her beloved pet snake, Tangy, Jamie developed a life-long interest and love for animals. It came as no surprise, then, that she would ultimately end up in the veterinary field.

Prior to entering the animal medicine realm, Jamie held a variety of administrative positions in the food service industry. When she decided to take a leap of faith and change her career path, she knew without a doubt she’d made the right choice. As a Veterinary Assistant here at Creature Comforts, Jamie is honored to play an important role in ensuring that each and every one of our patients receive the best possible care.

Jamie’s immediate family consists of her mother, whom she says is her greatest support and her very best friend. While living with her, the two adopted a Border collie mix named Solo, after Han Solo from Star Wars. Solo is a goober who likes to pretend that he is a cat, while he lounges in the kitchen window, gazing outside and cleaning himself religiously.

In addition to her love of animals, Jamie also has a deep passion for the arts. If she’s not painting or drawing, then she’s likely looking for a new cuisine or restaurant to try. Aside from making art and finding hidden food gems, she enjoys spending quality time with her partner, exercising, or exploring the outdoors.

Karla

Karla

Veterinary Assistant

Growing up, Karla Vuotto idolized her Aunt Jo, who had a degree in wildlife biology and worked for the Forest Service. Visiting with her, spending countless hours exploring the great outdoors and watching wildlife in its natural habitat instilled in Karla a passion for animals. Today, not only does Karla have a burgeoning career in the veterinary industry, but she is active in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation. She truly feels as though she’s doing what she’s called to do.

Karla obtained her Veterinary Technician degree via distance learning while she was living in Alaska and working for the National Park Service as a wildlife and brown bear viewing guide. From there, she moved to Wyoming, where she worked closely with wolf biologists at Yellowstone National Park and assisted with wildlife rescue calls. Her storied journey even led her to Utah, where she had a hand in rescuing an injured California condor.

Karla is excited to pursue a new chapter in her career – one as a Vet Tech here at Creature Comforts. As this is her first experience in a hospital setting, she hasn’t yet decided what her favorite aspects of the job are. All she knows is she loves her role, her colleagues, and – most importantly – our amazing clients and patients!

Outside of work, Karla resides with her Mom and their border collie, Mary. When Mary was first rescued from a California kill shelter, she was terrified of everyone. Through lots of patience, love and encouragement, Karla and her mother have slowly been able to win Mary’s trust.

Not surprisingly, Karla’s favorite pastimes include hiking, camping and wildlife watching. Her most memorable adventures thus far involve hiking the Highline Trail in Glacier National Park, summiting Swiftcurrent Pass down into Many Glacier Valley, and camping overnight at the Granite Peak Chalet Campground.

Britaney

Britaney

Remote LVT

Many people in the veterinary industry can point to the exact moment when they decided their career path would involve animal health. For Britany Goldner, that moment came when her family dog was struck by a car. The support and compassion she experienced from the veterinary staff inspired her to go to school and join their ranks. Now, as a Licensed Veterinary Technician, Britaney gets to provide that same love and support to her own clients and patients.

Always a go-getter, Britaney completed her VTA program in just 9 months before tackling the challenge of the Veterinary Tech program. After 9 more rigorous months of losing sleep, homework and studying, she graduated and later sat for her VTNE. (Veterinary Technician National Exam). Professionally, Britaney loves helping people understand the “whys” and “hows” of their pets’ health. Her primary focus is on livestock, including cattle, goats, sheep, swine and chickens. She also adores cats, of which she has four.

Britaney’s human family consists of her husband, Jeff, and their two children: Zoey and Jonah. Their fur-family includes a Jagdterrier named Hunter, who loves to hike, nap and ride in the car; cats Tabby, Mew, Snickers and Gengar, who love to chase each other around in the middle of the night; and their latest addition – a domesticated four-toed hedgehog called Moo, so-named for the black and white pattern on her body.

When she’s not busy helping clients at the clinic or hanging out with her family and pets, Britaney enjoys playing video games. Her biggest personal achievement was becoming a Twitch affiliate. There were multiple requirements to do so and it took her less time than the average person.

Andrew

Andrew

Veterinary Assistant

As the fraternal triplets of two identical twin sisters who own their own dog grooming business, Andrew has had plenty of opportunity to be around animals. The experience he gained there, as well as through volunteer work at a family friend’s animal shelter, naturally guided Andrew toward a career in the veterinary industry. Helping those who are incapable of helping themselves is something he finds truly rewarding.

Andrew started off working in reception at an animal hospital in San Diego. While there, he was cross-trained to handle everything from assisting and pharmacy, to boarding and kennels. After recently relocated to the Centennial Hills area of Northwest Vegas, Andrew discovered that Creature Comforts was a perfect match to his ideologies and ethos. His flexibility, diverse experience and willingness to jump in and help with just about anything have made him an asset to his team.

As one of our Veterinary Assistants, Andrew particularly enjoys working with and learning from the specialists who visit the clinic. He finds it fascinating to see doctors collaborate on diagnoses and treatment plans. His other professional interests include radiology and ultrasound technology.

Outside of work, Andrew has three cats of his own: Siberian long haired siblings named Odin and Freya and an orange medium hair named Bjorn. When Andrew first saw Bjorn at the shelter, cuddled up in his crate, making biscuits to the air and purring loudly at the slightest bit of attention, he knew he had to have him.

Andrew’s favorite pastimes include hiking, swimming, beaching and camping. During the summer, Andrew spends almost every weekend at Lake Nacimiento with his family and their plethora of pets. He also considers himself to be an environmentalist, a film enthusiast, a novice photographer, a book fanatic and a foodie. Above all, Andrew loves learning new things and breaking out of his comfort zone.

Katie

Katie

Greeter

Six months before Katie was born, her parents adopted a dog. As Katie grew, her bond with her four-legged sibling grew stronger, and the two became inseparable. During the family’s many visits to the vet over the years, Katie discovered her own passion for animal care. In her role as Greeter here at Creature Comforts, she enjoys being able to help people and their pets in any way she can.

Katie’s career journey began right here at CCAH. In looking for her first job, she was hesitant about working in other industries, and was initially seeking a role at an animal shelter. Instead, she came across our website and the rest, as they say, is history! Professionally, Katie appreciates the opportunity to see and experience new things every day. Never knowing quite what to expect really keeps her on her toes.

At home, Katie’s animal family consists of two dogs, two guinea pigs and a fish. Bella is a Labrador retriever who is quite the thief. Her favorite things to steal include socks, water bottles and remote controls. Sprinkles is a Chihuahua mix who loves to hog blankets. Jedi the guinea pig will do whatever he can to get food (especially bell peppers). Katie’s other guinea pig, Nugget, is antisocial but will occasionally get the zoomies. Last, but not least, there’s Smee, a white and red betta fish.

In her spare time, Katie loves to play ice hockey – a sport she’s been playing for more than a decade. She’s also an avid reader. Her favorite book at the moment is Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo.

Growing up in Washington D.C. as a first generation American, Alain has always been inspired by nature and discovering what’s out there in the world. One of his most memorable experiences was spending a month at sea, sailing a 45’ catamaran from Cape Town, South Africa to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. During that time, he saw sharks, caught a 200lb yellowfin tuna and got chased by a French military helicopter. Now that he’s settled down a bit, Alain is happy to be in a role where he can work with animals every day.

Alain’s career journey began at the West L.A. Animal Shelter. There, he gained invaluable experience in how to treat and care for companion animals.

Jessica

Jessica

Greeter

Even as a young child, Jessica has always felt extremely connected to animals on a deep, spiritual level. Her early experiences with Creature Comforts Animal Hospital prompted her to pursue a career in the veterinary field. What better way to start on that path than to become an integral part of the team as one of our amazing greeters? Nothing energizes and inspires Jessica more than speaking with clients and meeting their furry friends!

At work, Jessica really enjoys being on her feet and interacting with people (and of course, their fur babies!). She also finds cleaning and organizing to be very therapeutic. Lastly, she loves that her current position allows her to delve into other branches and knowledge of work. Learning new things, donning a pair of scrubs and being able to snuggle with animals every day – what’s not to love?!?

Outside of the clinic, Jessica resides with her parents and older brother. Her fur family includes a Chihuahua named Bruno, a pit bull-shepherd mix named Daisy (a.k.a. “Daisy Dozer”), and a rabbit with an attitude named Cocoa.

In her spare time, Jessica enjoys indulging in her other passion: music. Her taste runs the gambit, from classical to extreme metal. She currently plays the violin and has plans to learn the guitar and piano in the near future. She also enjoys creating and selling digital art – mostly of natural settings like landscapes and animals, but fantasy images as well.
