The team that stays
The team that keeps Hearthstone running strong
At Hearthstone Animal Clinic, we're proud to have a team that's more like family, both to us and to our clients. One of the things that truly sets us apart is the longevity of our staff. In a world where turnover is common, our team has stuck with us for the long haul, and that says a lot.
Jenny
Jenny has been with Dr. Pelton since day one, over 25 years ago. She joined straight out of school and has been the rock of our clinic ever since.
Stephanie
Stephanie has brought her calm, compassionate presence to Hearthstone for over 11 years now. Clients love her, and their pets do too.
Baylee
Baylee, the newest member of our crew, has already been with us for 4 years and counting. She joined after Mary, our legendary front desk anchor for 15 years, retired.
“We like to think that people don't stay this long unless we're doing something right (either that, or we bribe them with snacks and dog kisses).”
When you walk into Hearthstone, you're not just seeing a vet. You're seeing a team that's been caring for pets together for decades.
And that kind of experience matters.
The people you'll meet
Faces of Hearthstone
Jenny
Veterinary Technician
17+ years (at Hearthstone since 2007) experience
Jenny has been with Hearthstone Animal Clinic since August 2007 and began her career in companion animal care in 2000. She always has a positive attitude and is an ace at drawing blood. At home, she has two pit bulls named Tator and Boudin, a Chihuahua named Sancho and a poodle mix named Sterling.
Stephanie
Veterinary Technician
13+ years (at Hearthstone since 2014) experience
Stephanie began her career in companion animal care in 2011 and has been a valued member of the Hearthstone Animal Clinic team since November 2014. She's passionate about keeping pets happy, healthy, and living their best lives, and loves building lasting relationships with our clients and their furry family members.
Outside of work, Stephanie and her husband stay busy keeping up with their energetic daughter, Maverick, who was born in March 2022. Whether it's pool days, park adventures, or a relaxing trip to the nail salon, Stephanie cherishes quality time with her family.
She's also a fitness enthusiast who enjoys working out whenever she gets the chance. Stephanie shares her home with a lively crew of pets: two Dachshunds named Dallas and Tyler, a Labrador retriever Dakota, a beagle named Bubba, and cats named Goose and Thor!
