Brittany is the rockstar Team Lead/Lead Vet Tech/Customer Service Rep at Five Star, where she’s been bringing the energy since October of 2021. As a child, she dreamed of becoming a Vet or working with animals—turns out, she’s living that dream and then some! Animals are her life, and her days are filled with tail wags, purrs, and endless love. She runs her team like a boss, juggles tech duties like a pro, and manages customer service like it’s second nature, all while her own personal zoo at home (yes, she’s got a wild bunch of dogs and cats) keeps her on her toes with her fiancé. Together, they’re the ultimate pet-loving duo, giving all their fur babies the royal treatment!
Nyomi is a Vet Tech at Five Star. She was born in NH, but lived most of her life in VT. She traveled a lot while working on the pipeline previously. After that, she went to live in AL, working on a show horse farm for three years. She wanted a change, so I moved to TX with her then boyfriend, now fiancé. She has three dogs - Ruger, who’s 7 years old, River, who’s just over 1 year and Renegade, who’s 9 months. They all live in a camper full time together and love it. One day they want to buy and own their own place with lots of land. Nyomi has always dreamed of opening a horse boarding facility and hopes one day she will be able to.
Rachel is currently a Junior at UT Austin studying biology and pursuing the Veterinary Medicine field. She was born in Texas and raised in South Korea. She has one dog named Lovely that she absolutely adores. In her free time she enjoys watching movies, baking, and spending time with family and friends.
Andi Cat is Head of H.R. and Hospital Manager. She came to us as a tiny underweight kitten with a bad eye. Her eye no longer bothers her, even with the cloudy part. If you look closely, you’ll see her eyes are different colors, too. Andi does not care for cats. She is a Doberman stuck in a cat body; we think. She is often found at Reception, intercepting head scritches from the clients.
Alyssa is a friendly, upbeat Veterinary Technician at Five Star who always brings a smile to work. When she’s not helping clients feel welcome, she’s soaking up the sun by the pool or lost in her latest Lego creation. Known for her positive attitude, Alyssa goes the extra mile to make clients feel valued. Outside of work, she loves experimenting with new recipes and sharing her creations with friends and family. Her cat, Pepper, is her constant companion, whether by the pool or while building Lego sets. With her creativity, problem-solving mindset, and enthusiasm, Alyssa brightens the day of everyone she meets.
