Hello, I am Jacquelyn! I was born and raised in a small coastal town just south of San Francisco. I have enjoyed being around animals ever since i was a kid and decided to pursue a career in veterinary medicine just a little over ten years ago! In my spare time, I enjoy hiking with my hound, going to the beach, reading, horseback riding and just relaxing! I am thrilled to join Lotus veterinary house call team!

Hi, I’m Isabela! I was born and raised in San Francisco. Growing up I’ve always expressed a deep love for animals and interest working with them. In 2020 I decided to pursue a career in veterinary medicine as an assistant. When I’m not helping fur babies I enjoy going on walks with my pup, dancing and binge watching the latest series on Netflix. I’m excited for this new journey with Lotus House Calls.

We appreciate our Assistants & Office Team!
