Skylar
Receptionist & Client Service Representative
A box of Milk-Bones always rode in Skylar’s grandpa’s car. He handed treats to dogs he met, a kindness Skylar remembers from childhood in Milford, Ohio. Animals filled her family’s life, from dogs and a cat to rabbits she raised and showed through 4-H. Those early experiences taught her how deeply animals become part of a family.
Blue, her first rescue dog, held a special place in her heart. When he developed serious heart problems, Skylar’s family learned that a significant heart murmur had appeared in his medical records years earlier, without their knowledge. Heartbroken, Skylar wondered if knowing sooner might have changed things. The experience strengthened her commitment to clear communication and advocating for animals who cannot speak for themselves.
Skylar studied Veterinary Assisting at Live Oaks Career Campus during high school, then worked in pet grooming at a veterinary clinic. After years of grooming and animal rescue, she joined Clermont Animal Hospital in March 2026 as a Receptionist and Client Service Representative. She loves meeting clients and their pets, especially nervous or misunderstood animals who need extra patience. Helping make their visits less stressful is particularly rewarding.
That patience guides her rescue work, too. Skylar helped catch Peanut, a young Jack Russell who had spent four months on the streets. Terrified, he hid beneath a bed in her home. Watching her dogs gradually gave Peanut the courage to emerge. After more than a year in foster care, he found a permanent home.
Skylar and her husband, Mason, share their home with six dogs: Biggie, Billy, Maverick, Goose, Duke and Mya, often joined by fosters. Billy turns blow-drying into a dance party, while Duke loves swimming and chasing balls. The couple also enjoys camping with their pack.
At the front desk, Skylar brings that same compassion to every visit, helping pets and their people feel welcomed, understood and heard.
