Meet our best care anywhere team…
Hello! I’ve been in the veterinary industry for 10+ years, starting as a kennel assistant and working my way to being a veterinary nurse. I graduated from San Diego State University in 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology-Zoology, and also a Minor in Environmental Studies. While going through the competitive application process for veterinary school, I felt that the hands-on connection to veterinary medicine was, for me, the most rewarding as a technician. Switching gears in 2019, I passed the VTNE and officially became a Registered Veterinary Technician. I enjoy the rush of assisting with surgeries, routine or emergency; and on the calmer side of things, I enjoy providing families with the education and materials to give their fur babies the best possible care. I’m very passionate about dental/oral health and take pride in my dental extraction skills. I have a soft spot for “spicier” patients and I’m comfortable with doing whatever I can to ease their stress in a hospital setting. I’m grateful to be a part of the Freddie’s Place team!
In my (rare) down time, I enjoy being outdoors, exploring new food spots, and attending music festivals or concerts. If I decide on a “lazy” day, I’ll be cuddling up with my two fur babies — Sir Oliver Garfield Chesterton III and Panda Roo Moo Cow!
Hello! I was born and raised in East Los Angeles until I turned 18 and joined the Marine Corps for 5 years. After ending my contract honorably, I always knew my true passion and dream was to work with animals. I get to do this as a career now and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! I’m currently furthering my studies in the veterinary field and hope to be able to help you and your fur babies.

With a passion for helping animals and educating clients on pet care, we are ready and excited to be a part of Freddie’s team.

Hi, my name is Adrianna. I have been a tech for about 5 years now. As a kid, I always had a passion for helping animals.

Hi fur-friends, my name is Cassie❣️ I have 2 soul-dogs Tokyo and Topanga, who are the absolute loves of my life. My passion has always been emergency medicine and getting to connect with families because I believe passing knowledge onto owners is the best way for them to take charge in their pets health. My admiration for animals stemmed from my Mom who taught me a lot about how to care for and treat animals, and my Dad who never said no when I brought home random dogs. I will always care for your best friend the way I hope other people would care for mine beyond those hospital doors.
However, if i’m not working, I’m probably making someone take a picture of me wearing matching outfits with my dogs or drinking a martini with a view somewhere.

Hello, my name is Shaida and I am a CSR at Freddie’s Place. My love for animals started when I was a little girl living in Hawaii and our neighbors had horses.

While at Freddie’s Place I am determined to continue learning more and providing the best care to my ability for any and all of your pets needs.
