Jodie
Practice Manager
Jodie is originally from Henderson Kentucky. She moved to McKinney Texas ten years ago with her now husband. She volunteered with several rescues, which is where she found her calling to help and save animals of all kinds, and found herself a proud owner of four adorable rescue dogs.
Her experience includes managing multiple veterinary clinics for a corporation, which helped her realize a corporation was not where she wanted to be, and that a private practice would suit her better.
Jodie is animal CPR and first aid certified. She has also completed QPR training.
Her hobbies include spending time with her family, relaxing by the pool, and of course, playing with her four adorable dogs.
“God put me on this earth to help animals of all kinds, and although I might not be able to save them all, I will keep trying until my last breath.”
KayLynn
Lead Technician
KayLynn joined our practice in 2020 and has been a veterinarian technician since 2012. She has obtained her CVA level 2 and enjoys attending continuing education courses. She spends her free time at the barn with her horses, or at home with her husband and family and their 2 dogs. She has had a passion for animal care and rehabilitation since she was young and her mom had to tell her not to bring any more animals home. So she fed all the strays and they followed her.

M’kela
Client Service Relations
M’kela is a long time resident of Little Elm as she was raised here and graduated from the local high school, so chances are you’ll see a familiar face when you walk into the clinic! She has always had a passion for helping animals as she often needed to be told she couldn’t pet that bear, coyote, wild rabbit, etc. Because she’s been working in the animal field her entire career, she’s very experienced in animal handling and language and has an apt for efficiently communicating with parents about the health and well-being of their pets.
M’kela spends her free time attempting to help her fiancé tend to their multitude of plants, although she feels she gets in the way more so than anything. She also enjoys cuddling her cat and dog babies while binge watching her new favorite TV show obsession with tacos and a margarita in hand.
“Losing a pet is never goodbye, but rather just a very sad see you later. Don’t cry because it’s over; smile because it happened.”
Autumn
Client Service Relations/ Veterinary Assistant
Autumn joined the team in 2021, but has been in the veterinary field since 2018. Her
mom has been in the veterinary profession for over 20 years so she grew up her entire life
around animals which inspired her to get into the field herself. When she is not training to be a
veterinary technician, she is working towards her dream of becoming a Mortician and Funeral
Director at the Dallas Institute of Funeral Services.
In her free time when Autumn is not caring for her two cats Cleo and Ollie, as well as her
dog Sonney, she is tending to her ever growing plant obsession. She also takes pleasure in
watching classic horror slasher films, adding to her tattoo collection, and plunging into a
perplexing book!
