Office Manager
Sarah
Sarah was born and raised in Fremont, NE and has always had a love for animals. She has been a receptionist and assistant for over 10 years. Her parents encouraged and enabled her desire to care for all types of companion animals and pocket pets.
She has 2 wonderful daughters Josie and Jasmine, who share her love for pets and always keep her smiling. She has a laid back, silly, attention seeking Goldendoodle “Zulu”. She also has a cuddly, quirky, funny Boston Terrier “Poppy”. She has recently adopted a handsome, rowdy, adventurous French Bulldog “Otis”. As if things weren’t crazy enough she has a business of ferrets: “Echo”, “Nalo”, and “Marbles”. Sarah loves her job, spending time with her daughters, caring for her fur babies, being involved in church ministries, and helping others where she can.
Door Greeter
Tip
Tip came to The Pet Hospital in 2017 as a kitten for a routine neuter, and we fell in love in an instant! He was a hugger when you would hold him, he wanted to be where everyone else was, and he was such a playful kitten! Dr. Grassmeyer had always wanted an orange tabby, and the clinic was missing our first door greeter, Millie, after she had gone to the Rainbow Bridge.
Tip is a smile and a half, and lives up to his name! He loves to tip everything over as he walks by. He loves to meet everyone (sometimes jump up on the counter and scare them), chat with the birds in the window, hang out by the front door so he doesn’t miss anything, and napping until it is time for him to eat (if you are not careful he will try and make you think he hasn’t eaten all day!).
He tends to warm the hearts of all he meets and wins over the dog lovers with time by allowing them to rub his belly, greet them at the door, or talk to them when they are finishing up at the counter. By the end of the day he is tuckered out from all of his business and keeping the staff on their toes with his antics!
