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.

Julissa

Senior Veterinary Assistant/Boarding Manager

 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.

Brooke

Veterinary Student/Boarding Manager/Veterinary Assistant

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.

Cameren

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.
