Stephenie has worked with animals as a veterinary assistant for the past 23 years. Her passion has been cats of all types ever since she got her first 2 cats when she was 4 years old. Stephenie has a menagerie of 8 lovely cats at home….and one Labrador to even things out! Steph enjoys spending time and enjoying all types of adventures with her husband and two twin girls (the most wild ones in the crew!). We welcome Stephenie to the Derry Animal Hospital team and are excited to have her skills and experience!
CAROLYN- Hospital Assistant / Protector of Little Paws
Carolyn became interested in veterinary medicine after caring her for own daschund with paralysis from intervertebral disk disease. She was inspired to complete a veterinary assistant certification and now plays a critical role in hospital care and maintenance. She also helps upkeep the equipment and supplies that allow us to provide the services and care we do as a veterinary team. This is a second career for Carolyn and we are excited to have her on the team!
DYLAN- Veterinary Assistant
We don’t know if you noticed, but Dylan’s jeans are a little too tight. You may ask yourself, “Why would anyone wear something as ridiculous at that?!” Well, it’s simple…during his sophomore year of high school he aspired to look like Justin Bieber… and now that is the only pair of jeans he agrees to own! Besides working on doing so many squats his thighs may burst his jeans at the seams at any moment, Dylan is passionately dedicated to becoming the best veterinary assistant he possibly can. He’s a true animal lover who has recently stepped into the veterinary medical field after starting his career working with dogs in a daycare/kennel setting. In all seriousness, Dylan is excited to be helping you and your pet get the best care he can and is excited to be a part of the medical team at Derry Animal Hospital. (PS- Dylan did actually write this bio himself….)

Our Approach
We believe pet owners should be empowered to be part of the active decision making process when it comes to their loved one’s care. We strive to be sure you have all the information you need to make informed decisions and to feel comfortable with all aspects of the medical plan. Customer service is at the forefront of what drives us in our day to day interactions with the families we work with at Derry Animal Hospital.
A Dream Come True
“It’s always been my dream to have a veterinary practice and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to carry on a legacy of care at Derry Animal Hospital and to take the clinic to the next level.”
