Meet the Team

Dr. Flock, BVMS MRCVS

and her friends Koda & Harris

Born and raised in Pleasanton, California, animals have always been a part of my life, starting with the family cats and dog. I joined 4-H at an early age, where I had the opportunity to care for animals of all shapes and sizes, from goats to horses to guinea pigs. During my 4-H years, my love for all creatures great and small inspired me to pursue veterinary medicine with the goal of working with exotics.

I received a B.S. in Animal Science from Cal Poly, SLO and then continued with my veterinary studies at the University of Glasgow in Scotland.

I am glad to be back in California and look forward to starting my journey with the Care Animal Hospital team to help your pets live their best lives.

Misty

with her friend Lucifer

I have been passionate about veterinary medicine since I was a little girl. I started at a small practice in 2012 in Orange County while going to college at California State Univeristy of Fullerton. I learned all the basic fundamentals of working in a hospital and it made me fall even more in love with this field. I eventually got promoted to lead technician and manager. After 8 years with that practice, I was ready for new beginnings and growth to expand my knowledge. I am so grateful to lead the team at Care Animal Hospital. I am so excited to work with exotics!

In my free time, I love spending time with my 3 children. I love being a mom. We have 3 dogs (Luna, Lily and Lola), a cat named Snow, and a chicken named Twizzler. We love being outdoors, the beach, Disneyland, shopping and spending time with family. We hope to own a ranch some day!

Sydney (Reception Supervisor)

with her friends Pumpkin, Popcorn & Peanut

I started working in the Veterinary field in 2016, and joined the team at Care Animal Hospital in 2021. I have always loved animals, and have had a love for guinea pigs since first grade, when I read a book about them. I have a heart for wildlife conservation and was attracted to Care Animal Hospital because of the association with Project Wildlife.

I share my home with the guinea pigs, and my cats Nemo & Dalia.

Kimberly

with her friend Lucky

Ever since I was a little girl, I always knew that when I grew up I wanted to work with animals. As I’ve grown, I have realized that working in the veterinary field is my passion, and working at Care has definitely solidified that.

I graduated from Platt College’s Registered Veterinary Technician program as a vet tech and came to work at Care immediately after. I love helping all the cute pets that come in and knowing I can help them, is very rewarding to me.platt

In my free time, I enjoy horseback riding and spending time with my family. I have a Min Pin named Lucky, who I enjoy spending time with.

Talia

with an owlette being transferred to Project Wildlife

I joined the Care Animal Hospital team in January of 2022. I’ve always had a strong lifelong passion for all animals, with an emphasis on exotics, wildlife & conservation. As a veterinary assistant here, I have the privilege of working with and caring for so many incredible animals daily, both the pets & the wildlife rescues that we receive.

Before working at Care, I have been involved in wildlife rescue for over 6 years, and I am now currently in training to become a certified wildlife rehabilitator. I do my work with wildlife in conjunction with Project Wildlife & several rehabilitators throughout Southern California to assure our wildlife gets the proper protection & care that they need, when they need it.  

At home, I have two friendly leopard geckos with big personalities; one is a male named Gekyume, & the other is a female named Lasagna. 

Julia

with her friends Beans and Haku

I have had a love for animals since I can remember, and it’s a dream come true that I am able to work and help them in any way possible. Just knowing that I was able to make a difference in someone’s life brings me an immense level of personal joy. I have only been doing receptionist work for the last two years, but I absolutely love being part of this team and I am so fortunate that I got this opportunity to learn and grow. Everyday is a new opportunity to learn something new.
 
When I am not working, I like to hang out and play with my own kitties: Artemis, Luna and Binx. And when I am not spending time with animals, I like to play video games, watch movies, write sad poetry, stargaze, daydream and I have a penchant for makeup/beauty/cosplay that I like to use as an outlet to express myself artistically.

Taylor

and her friend Magic

Coming from a family full of veterinary professionals, I grew up in a veterinary hospital and learned my way around a clinic. When I was 16 I started working in the animal field and quickly became an assistant technician, ever since I started I became even more knowledgeable with equine, exotics, bovine,K-9 and feline animals. I have worked at several different clinics in Oklahoma, this is my second clinic working in California and so far I am loving it! I am going to school soon for veterinary medicine. 

I have 3 dogs, 3 cats, and a bearded dragon. I also have 2 horses in Oklahoma.

Outside of work I enjoy competitive team roping, surfing, exercising, hiking, dog shows, volunteering, gardening, and much more.
