Licensed Veterinarian, 6 yrs experience
(11) reviews
I'm a dedicated veterinarian with a strong passion for animals and their well-being. With 6 years of experience in veterinary services, I have honed my skills and expertise to provide top-notch care to dogs and cats. My primary focus is on delivering compassionate and personalized veterinary services to pets in the comfort of their own homes, particularly specializing in in-home pet euthanasia. Growing up on a Pulled Hereford farm in Lambertville, NJ, I was fortunate to be surrounded by animals and the animal care industry. My mother worked as a veterinary technician, and my father was involved with an animal pharmaceutical company. This upbringing immersed me in the world of animals from an early age. Alongside my hobbies of rhythmic gymnastics, ballet, and active participation in 4-H, I developed a deep appreciation for the unique bond between humans and animals. When the time came for college, I attended Clemson University, where I pursued a Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences. It was during my time at Clemson that I also fell in love with football, further broadening my interests and experiences. Following my undergraduate studies, I moved to Kansas, where I had the privilege of spending time with my two living great-grandmothers. It was there that I delved into the public health program at Kansas State University while simultaneously preparing to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. In 2016, my dedication and hard work paid off when I received my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from Kansas State University. Equipped with a strong foundation and a burning passion for animal welfare, I embarked on my journey as an associate veterinarian just outside Kansas City. Over the course of six fulfilling years, I cultivated a deep appreciation for surgical procedures and the unique connections formed with clients and their beloved pets. In 2022, I made a life-changing decision to relocate to Iowa, where I established my own business. This endeavor allowed me to provide relief veterinary services to local clinics while also fulfilling my heartfelt commitment to offering in-home pet euthanasia services. It brings me great satisfaction to bring comfort and peace to pets and their owners during these challenging times. Beyond my professional life, farming holds a special place in my heart. I currently reside on a hobby farm, where I share my life with a variety of animals that have become cherished members of my family. I enjoy spending time outdoors, engaging in activities such as hiking, fishing, and hunting. During moments of relaxation, I find solace and creative expression in crafting, particularly through knitting. Among my personal pets are three delightful dogs—Finn, Jolene, and Trace—who provide endless joy and companionship to me and my family. Additionally, our four cats—Angus, Oliver, Lola, and Rooster—warm our hearts and keep the farm rodent-free. Alice and Hodie, our two lovable donkeys, play important roles as companions and protectors of our sheep. Our diverse poultry, including peafowl, ducks, and guineas, bring life and entertainment to the farm while contributing to its ecosystem. The friendly Gotland sheep not only have lovely personalities but also provide lambs and fleece every year, adding to the farm's vibrancy. For me, veterinary medicine is not just a profession but a true calling. It brings me immense happiness to care for animals and contribute to their well-being. Knowing that I am making a positive impact in the lives of both animals and their human companions is what drives me each day. With my extensive experience, genuine love for animals, and unwavering commitment to providing the best veterinary care, you can trust that your beloved pets will receive the utmost compassion and expertise under my care.

She was able to adjust her schedule as our Luna slipped faster than we anticipated. We are grateful for her kindness and experience to ease our transition and Luna over the Rainbow Bridge
She was super sweet and caring. She made a very difficult day a calming experience. She explained everything that she would be doing, and even expressed sympathy for what we were going through. Our little dog was right there the whole time and let her smell and lay with her sister. I truly felt she understood what was happening, because it seemed her grieving process only lasted a few days. The packaging of everything bringing our baby home to rest was beautiful as well. I would highly recommend her if you find yourself in this situation. Thank you so much Dr Vernon.
Dr. Hsia was amazing. He asked questions and evaluated our dog to confirm she was ready to go. He was patient, kind and clearly cared about our pet. He gave us and our other dogs time with her before and after, and showed great care when he took her with him. About a week later he brought us a beautiful box with her ashes. Was such a relief to have her comfortable at home with her family around and not have to go back to the vet office. Thank you!!
Amy was awesome. Very nice, went at a pace we were ok with. Such a horrible thing to go through but Amy let us spend as much time - before and after - and I really appreciated that.
Dr. Lisa Fieg was very accommodating and compassionate while providing in-home euthanasia services for my rapidly declining Basset Hound. She came out the same night after hearing that my dog was experiencing seizures. I highly recommend her for anytime one has to euthanize their pet and wants to have it done at home.
Using at home pet euthanasia, was the best decision I made. To have a pet pass in a home that he had so many memories and where so much love given made the experience peaceful for not only him but myself. I will recommend Dr Rebecca and this way to anyone who ask. I encourage anyone to use this service to help it be private and special moment between an owner and a pet. Travis and I will always have that moment and it’s all thanks to Dr Rebecca and this service.
