Our Careteam

Your pet’s emotional and physical well-being is prioritized with every visit. We put the patients first!

Ashley & Elmo

Ashley

Veterinary Technician

Since 2010, Ashley has dedicated herself to caring for the patients of Pipe Creek Animal Clinic. She loves getting to know each pet’s different personalities, catering to their unique needs, and making each experience at the clinic as stress-free as possible. She grew up in San Angelo, TX and after spending time in the Texas Army National Guard as a mechanic, she decided to pursue her passion of helping pets and their owners as a veterinary technician.

She enjoys the dynamic atmosphere of veterinary medicine, each day bringing unexpected challenges and experiences that allow her to further develop her skills and renew her love for her job. After a fulfilling week at work, she enjoys reading books that allow her to explore alternate realities, spending time outdoors with her daughter Jessie, binge watching Netflix or volunteering with the Medina Lake Fire Department.

Kim & Scooter

Kim

Client Service Representative

Kim has been the friendly voice you hear answering the phones at Pipe Creek Animal Clinic for the last 10 years. Kim grew up in Milwaukee, WI and even though she has lived in Pipe Creek for the last 18 years, you can still occasionally hear her Wisconsin accent slip out. According to Kim, nothing beats a puppy kiss or head butt from a cat wanting some love. When she can slip away from the desk and ringing phone, you can find her in the treatment area loving on the animals under our care.

Working for the clinic for a decade, she says the clients are more like family than customers and helping their babies makes her job with Pipe Creek Animal Clinic fulfilling. Her and her husband Bruce have a full house with 2 dogs, 2 cats, 4 horses and 7 birds. Nigel, a cockatoo who came to Kim after his owner passed away, visits the clinic occasionally and entertains the lobby with his antics and squawks. When not at home with her critters or taking exceptional care of our clients, Kim enjoys visiting the marine animals at Sea World or lounging by the pool.

Sara

Sara

Front Desk Manager

Personal Motto: “This too shall pass”

Since 2017, Sara has taken care of the clients and patients that visit Pipe Creek Animal clinic as our head Client Service Representative and Front Desk Manager. Sara is a native of Pipe Creek, TX and still lives on her family ranch, where she raises goats and cattle with her husband and best friend Paul. 

Sara graduated from Bandera High School, attended Northwest Vista earning her Associates degree in Applied Science and continuing her education at Schriener University in Kerrville completing her Bachelor of Science in Biology. She intended to continue on to veterinary school, but life had other plans. She is supremely talented at putting our clients at ease and helping to ensure that their needs are met, always having a personal anecdote to comfort clients and solicit a smile, usually when it is needed the most. You would never know that she was extremely shy in her younger years, because nowadays, she will share a laugh with everyone who visits Pipe Creek Animal Clinic.

Even though she has 4 Catahoulas, 1 cat, 1 horse, goats and cattle, her favorite animal is the cheeky racoon! She works hard every day at Pipe Creek Animal Clinic caring for our clients and patients and then goes home to care for her critters, enjoying her ranch, and relaxing with her family and friends. She is a talented cook and strives each day to remain inspired and leave her footprints on this earth. I know that many of our clients and patients can vouch that she makes a lasting positive impression on those people who cross her path. We are lucky to have her represent our clinic!

Mary

Mary

Veterinary Technician, Kennel Manager

Personal Motto: “Try to do things right the first time.”

Mary has a knack for remembering our patients like no one else. Having worked for Pipe Creek Animal Clinic for over 15 years, she has seen many of our client’s pets go from puppy hood to seniors and every stage in between. She worked for many years and lived in many places with the Air Force as a military police officer, putting her Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice to good use. Next time you see her, ask her about living in England and Panama, she has some great stories to share! 

She takes great pride in her job with Pipe Creek Animal Clinic and excels at adding that personal touch to each appointment, welcoming each client and patient with a smile and warm greeting. She ensures each pet’s stay with us is comfortable, whether they are in the hospital for treatment or boarded while away from their families. Each day at the clinic gives her the opportunity to meet new clients and their pets and celebrate their uniqueness.

On her off time, she visits her 96-year-old mother and sisters who live nearby, or exercises her green thumb working in her yard and around the house. Mary has acquired many rescue dogs and cats over the years, providing each and every one of them the forever loving home they deserve. Her favorite animal though is the regal eagle.

Mandy

Mandy

Client Service Representative

Mandy is the newest addition to Pipe Creek Animal Clinic’s warm and welcoming front desk staff joining the clinic in 2019. Mandy shows up early and eager to help our client’s get the exceptional care and service they deserve. Mandy recently moved to Pipe Creek from Corpus Christi and became familiar with our clinic as a client bringing in her many wayward rescue dogs she and her family fosters and cares for until they can find permanent homes.

When she had the opportunity to sit on the other side of the desk and become part of our Pipe Creek Animal Clinic family, she jumped at the chance! When you call the clinic to make your appointment and Mandy answers the phone, you will be sure to smile when she shares her infectious joy and engaging personality.

Shar

Shar

Receptionist / Technician

Shar entered the veterinary industry as a secondary career, after having served honorably in the military for more than two decades. In 2019, when it came time to find a civilian role, Shar fell back on her second love: animals, and decided to apply at Pipe Creek, where she had been a client for seven years.

In her dual role as receptionist and veterinary technician, Shar enjoys helping pets feel better and assisting their humans by providing quality care and support to their furry family members. She is especially adept at providing comfort to pet parents who are going though a difficult or emotional time.

Outside of work, Shar lives with her husband of over 25 years, Justin. Together, they have two adult children and four fur-babies, including a rottweiler named Harley, a French bulldog named Freddie, an English bulldog named Midas, and another French bulldog named Shorty. In her free time, Shar likes to travel with her sister.

Amber

Amber

Receptionist / Technician

Growing up on a ranch in Mountain Home, TX, Amber has always had compassion for animals. She was constantly bringing home injured or orphaned animals or asking her dad to stop his truck to let a snake safely cross the road. It wasn’t until she adopted her heart dog, Triton, that Amber decided she wanted to help animals for a living.

Amber is a graduate of Ingram Tom Moore High School. She joined the Pipe Creek Animal Clinic team in September of 2024. In her dual role as receptionist and veterinary technician, Amber has the unique opportunity to make a difference in the lives of both our clients as well as our patients.

Outside of work, Amber lives with her husband, Jonathan, their daughter, River, and a menagerie of pets that include dogs, cats, rats, and a rabbit. Most of their fur-babies are rescues, and while their house may be chaotic, it’s always fun and it keeps everyone on their toes. In her free time, Amber enjoys exploring new places with her family. Her other hobbies include camping, hunting, and fishing.

Michael

Michael

Veterinary Technician

While Mike grew up loving animals, it wasn’t until he was around 12 when he truly realized the deep and special connection he had with them. At the time, his mother was running a therapeutic horseback riding program in New York that had recently received a young Percheron Thoroughbred cross. It quickly became clear that the horse and Mike shared a unique bond. The experience only strengthened Mike’s passion for all creatures, large and small, and would ultimately inspire his future career path.

Besides the typical serving and retail jobs in high school, Mike has always worked with animals in some capacity, including as a technician at the Animal Defense League of San Antonio, a park attendant at a doggy daycare facility, and a handler at a horse stable. In 2019, Mike joined the Pipe Creek Animal Clinic. Of the many things he likes about being a veterinary technician, Mike especially enjoys working with the nervous patients. Earning their trust and helping them overcome their fears is very rewarding.

Outside of the clinic, Mike has a menagerie of pets, including five dogs, two cats, a ball python, and many fish. When he’s not busy working, you can usually find Mike somewhere outside, exploring with his dogs, or at the river or beach. A self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie, Mike likes to say he lives on the edge so everyone else has enough room. His favorite outdoor activity so far is snowboarding, though he aspires to learn how to kiteboard in the very near future.
