Meet the Team at East Sacramento Veterinary Center

Working on a farm and a therapeutic riding center at a young age, Rae Ann decided that she wanted to help animals.

Rae Ann has been in the veterinary industry for 27 years and has carried various roles from veterinary technician to leadership. She spent most of her career working in emergency medicine, surgery, and taking care of critical patients.

After completing her bachelors in business administration she knew her focus was to work in a practice that strived to educate clients to help their pets avoid those emergency type situations.

She has fostered hundreds of animals in her lifetime but now is a permanent home to 2 dogs and 2 tortoises. She enjoys going to the lake with her family and paddle boarding.

Jenn is the friendly face you’ll often see first when you walk through our doors. As our Lead CSR, she brings warmth, energy, and a genuine love for helping both pets and their people. With a passion for making others smile, Jenn creates a welcoming experience from check-in to checkout.

At home, Jenn is a proud pet parent to two lovable couch potatoes—Titus and Zara—who keep her life full of snuggles and sass. Outside of work, she enjoys diving into crafts, exploring new foods, and surrounding herself with music that lifts the soul.

Whether she’s greeting clients or supporting her team, Jenn’s goal is simple: spread kindness and keep tails wagging.

Born and raised in Sacramento, Nicole has been working in veterinary medicine for 3.5 years. She shares her home with her fiancé, two dogs—Hooch and Dottie—and two cats, Louie and Slug. Nicole has a special interest in geriatric and palliative care, as senior pets hold a special place in her heart, though she also enjoys seeing puppies and kittens - especially border collies and cattle dogs.

She enjoys working in general practice, where she is able to build lasting relationships with clients and their pets. Outside of the clinic, they love spending time outdoors and escaping to South Lake Tahoe whenever possible.
