Meet Our Best Care Anywhere Team of Doctors

Meet our best care anywhere team…

Hello there! I’m Kilistina, a true Oceanside, CA native through and through. Ever since I can recall, I’ve had an innate passion for rescuing and nurturing animals back to health. Whether it was tending to birds fallen from nests or befriending stray cats in the neighborhood, I was that kid who always wanted to bring them all home. My journey into animal care officially began fresh out of high school when I landed a job at Mission Animal Bird Hospital as a kennel attendant. That experience sparked a profound realization within me – I wanted to do more for these creatures I cherished.
This lifelong passion for animals fueled my ambition to pursue a career in Veterinary Medicine. From starting as a Kennel Attendant, I worked my way up, eventually earning an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Veterinary Technology from Broadview University in Layton, Utah. My journey led me to Emergency Critical Care, where I’ve thrived in various roles, refining my technical skills and managerial abilities along the way.
At home, my husband and I share our space with Theodore and Pepe, a dynamic feline duo who reign supreme in our household. When I’m not dedicating my time to the care of animals, which is a rare occurrence, you’ll likely find me soaking up the energy of concerts, exploring cozy local eateries, cherishing moments with extended family, experimenting with cooking, and satisfying my wanderlust by exploring different parts of the world.

Hello,

I’m Morgan, a Kentucky native who moved to San Diego in 2020. My love for veterinary medicine started very early in my life as I have always enjoyed animals in all aspects. I started my veterinary career as a teenager working as a veterinary receptionist and assistant in a small animal practice. I entered into management in 2015 and enjoyed it so much that I pursued my certification in veterinary practice management (CVPM) and a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management in 2020. My favorite part of veterinary medicine is working closely with my team to provide high quality medical care to each patient and to provide the best experience for their owners. Being a pet owner myself, there is nothing more important than upholding a high standard of care for all animals and their people! Even simple vet visits can be daunting sometimes, and I am here to help you with any concerns you may have related to your visit with us.

At home, I enjoy a zoo-like environment including my husband, son, and our four animals Stevie, Sully, Sharkbait, and Darwin. Outside of veterinary management, I own a plant business and am pursuing a degree in Horticulture. With my family I enjoy hiking, road trips, and the beach.

Hey, my name’s Izzy, and that’s my furbaby, Kio! I have been in the field for 3 years now and absolutely love learning about everything related to animal health care.

Freddie’s Place has such a fun, welcoming energy and I am excited to grow and further my career here!

Hello, my name is Paige and this is my cat boo boo. I first started working in the veterinary field in high school, starting off as a kennel assistant. Over 7 years later I am now a technician in the field and I love what I do. When I’m not at work, I enjoy getting outdoors.

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.

Throughout my years I have had the pleasure of caring for many different rehomed pets thus broadening my love and care for animals.

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.
