Hayley B., R.V.T.

Director of Operations

My name Is Hayley and I am the lead RVT here at Sunnycrest. I obtained my license in 2015, and have almost 14 years of experience working in primarily general practice. My love for animals started at a young age, when i was little i wanted to be a marine biologist. Once I started volunteering at the humane society, I realized the difference I could make as a technician, and pursued school while I continued to volunteer. Throughout my career I’ve had the opportunity to continue my education and have had extensive training in ultrasounds and dentistry.
I have also taken courses in k9 rehabilitation, and assisted in laproscopic and endoscopic procedures.
I have a passion in animal dentistry, and I love teaching our staff and clients new things.
In my free time I enjoy working out, rescuing bulldogs, paddleboarding at the beach with my Frenchie, or hanging out with my collection of animals (:

Erin

Senior Veterinary Assistant

My name is Erin. Just thought I would give you a quick run down on who I am & why my picture is here on the internet. I work for Sunnycrest Animal Care Center & love it. Of course, I love animals. I love to visit & play with all the animals here in our boarding facility. I know they miss their family when they are staying with us so I feel it is of great importance to pay extra attention to all of them. I also love that we have grooming. It is always fun to see the expression on the owners’ face when they see the beautiful job our groomers have done. Most of all I love it when we get the chance to assure the owners that everything is going to be ok, “Their pets are in good hands”.

Jonathan A.., R.V.T.

Registered Veterinary Technician

Hello, I’m Jonathan, a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) here at Sunnycrest Animal Care. I have a major passion for animal health and well-being. For the past 2 years, I’ve been working in animal medicine, but my experience and love with animals began much earlier.

Growing up, I was surrounded by loving Pitbulls who were more than just pets – they were family. This instilled in me a deep respect and affection for all animals, which ultimately led me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine.

After obtaining my RVT license, I spent time working in both emergency and anesthesiology departments in specialty medicine. This experience equipped me with a strong foundation in critical care and surgical procedures.

Now at Sunnycrest Animal Care, I’m excited to continue to expand and utilize my knowledge by contributing to our mission of providing genuine animal care to our furry friends. Last but not least, one of my most important life goals is to help as many animals as I possibly could throughout my career.
Thank you for helping me achieve this.

 Hello, my name is Julissa! I graduated from the University of California, Davis in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology. I have always loved animals and knew they would always be a part of my life. My ultimate career goal is to work at a wildlife sanctuary caring for the animals and focusing on conservation efforts. I’m a proud owner of three amazing adorable dogs! Ernie, my 15 year old chihuahua was my first dog. Then followed Sophie (10 year old Maltipoo) and Maya (4 year old Maltipoo/Chihuahua Mix). I could not imagine my life without dogs! I love working at Sunnycrest Animal Care Center because I get to meet and help care for wonderful pets.

Hi, my name is Brooke.  I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from Cal Poly Pomona in 2016.  I started working here at Sunnycrest after graduation and I love it!  Ever since I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian and I’m slowly working to accomplish that goal.  I used to volunteer with Found Animals at SEACCA in Downey and I loved every minute of it.  I love seeing how excited the animals are to come here and I especially enjoy giving them lots of love and attention.  I have a crazy little pug named Snotz at home along with two other dogs and two cats.

Audrey S.

Veterinary Assistant

Hello! My name is Audrey and I have been a Veterinary Assistant here at Sunnycrest since 2021! While I originally went to school to be a nurse, my love and passion have always been with animals. I was born and raised in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in a small town called Bishop where I volunteered for the local shelter and spent my time with my various animals from dogs and cats to Guinea pigs and horses. At the moment I have 2 amazing dogs whom I spend all my free time with that are my entire world. A 6 year old border collie named Daisy and a 3 year old border collie named Baloo. If I’m not with them you can find me scouting new pizza spots or in the mountains enjoying the fresh air! I have learned so much working here at Sunnycrest and hope to keep learning and growing as my journey in the veterinary field continues.

Cameren

Veterinary Assistant

Hi, I’m Cameren. I graduated from Cal Poly Pomona in the spring of 2022 with a B.S. in Animal Science and have been working towards my goal of becoming a veterinarian. I hope to someday open an animal sanctuary for animals of all kinds. Before Sunnycrest I had worked at a pet boarding facility and on a small horse ranch over the summer. At home, I have a poodle mix named Bo and 4 cats named Finn, Mini, Scout, and Atti. If you ask me how they’re doing I could go on and on about them.  Other than working at Sunnycrest I love to create! I enjoy drawing digitally or working on 3D models for various video games. I’ve only been at Sunnycrest briefly but have already met so many amazing people and learned so much. I love being able to help people and animals alike.
