Carrie’s warm, sweet personality is evident as soon as you meet her.  She has a big love for animals and a friendly smile, and she works hard to make everyone feel comfortable when they visit Oakcrest Pet Hospital.  Carrie was a client at Oakcrest before taking on the role as a client service representative in 2022.  She had been working in the cosmetology field for a number of years when she found an opportunity to pursue her passion for animals.  Carrie cares for her own 15 year-old corgi, Foxy, and enjoys spending her free time binge-watching Grey’s Anatomy, going to the lake, fishing with her husband, and going on vacations to Florida.  

Juli’s tender heart and affection for animals is apparent when you meet her, but it might surprise you to learn that she grew up in a household without any pets.  It wasn’t until she got her own pets that she realized her true passion and decided to switch careers to veterinary medicine.  Juli joined Oakcrest Pet Hospital in 2022 and serves as one of our client service representatives.  She currently shares her home with her husband, George, and their four cats, but she plans on making room for more, especially if she can find an English bulldog through a rescue group.  When Juli isn’t taking care of all her furry friends, you will find her watching classic films, putting together jigsaw puzzles or playing Nintendo Switch.
