As a child Evalina would adopt every orphaned animal she found: birds from the orchard after harvest or by the road, stray cats and dogs, chickens and ducks from the 4H program, and a rabbit that the neighbors dog found and carried around like a briefcase. She began in the veterinary field in 2005 as a receptionist and couldn't imaging doing anything else. She loved it and quickly learned other departments within the hospital and progressed into management. Managing a general practice, an emergency clinic and a pet resort in the Central Valley, she eventually decided to move to the Monterey area for an improvement in quality of life and health.

Evalina loves to spend time with her children at the roller rink, riding bikes, going to the skate park, swimming in the pool or relaxing at the beach. They also love taking their dog Crystal on walks, watching movies and reading books

Zach was raised in Monterey County, and graduated the RVT program at Carrington College in 2014. Outside of work he enjoys hiking, kayaking, and anything else involving nature. He has worked in the veterinary field since 2013, being employed in hospitals from general practice to emergency. He has the desire to improve the wellbeing of all animals he encounters and the passion to never stop seeking knowledge.
