Whitney has adored animals ever since she was a little girl. Taking care of her childhood dog—and her litter of baby puppies—sealed Whitney’s fate. She was destined to become a veterinary professional! Now, she’s proud to serve as Clermont Animal Hospital’s Clinic Manager and Head Veterinary Technician.

Whitney is from Georgetown, Ohio and was only 17 years old when she started working a summer job as a Kennel Technician. A year later, she attended Morehead State University to earn her Bachelor’s degree in veterinary technology, starting here at Clermont Animal Hospital to fulfill her internship requirements during her studies. After graduating, Whitney was more than happy to accept a job offer! She’s been a member of the hospital family ever since.

Around the clinic, Whitney loves that every shift is a little different—the fast-paced environment keeps her on her toes. She’s especially fond of seeing the area’s exotic animals and always loves to see a big snake or lizard visit the hospital. Most of all, she enjoys interacting one-on-one with pet owners and helping their animal companions to live the happiest, healthiest lives possible.

When she isn’t here at the clinic, Whitney can be found crafting, cheering on her favorite sports teams, and spending time with her dog, Bruno. He’s a Boxer/Great Dane mix who likes to think he’s a lap dog even though he weighs about 130 pounds.

Lynnlee has always wanted to devote herself to the health and wellbeing of animals. She wants to make sure that others’ pets are cared for in the same way that she cares for her own companions! Lynnlee is able to do just that as a member of the hospital’s Veterinary Assistant team.

Lynnlee is originally from Kentucky but has lived in Eastgate, Ohio for more than 20 years. She was a client here at Clermont Animal Hospital before she became an employee—she brought her own pup in for vaccinations and asked about a job, and the rest is history. Lynnlee has been a part of the team since 2015 and has enjoyed every moment since.

Most of Lynnlee’s free time away from work is spent with her family. She has a wonderful daughter and also shares her life with several animal companions: two dogs named Ibanez and Randy, a cat, and eight reptile pets!

Hannah is the oldest of six kids, all of whom love their furry (and scaled) family members. Growing up, Hannah was always drawn to the veterinary field, and while it may have started as just an extension of her love of animals, it has developed into a passion for helping all creatures live happier, healthier lives. As a veterinary assistant, Hannah is fulfilling her lifelong dream and loving every minute!

Hannah’s journey began right here at Clermont Animal Hospital, when she started volunteering during her freshman year of high school. She was officially hired as part of the team the following year and has been working here ever since. Professionally, Hannah enjoys assisting with appointments and communicating with clients.

Outside of work, Hannah has a dog named Scout, who loves attention—especially when he can cuddle up beside you on the couch; and a sweet bunny named Butter, who loves strawberries. Aside from animals, Hannah’s other passion is riding English and Western equestrian. She is also a proud Eagle Scout.

Madi’s passion for animals was evident from a very young age. Before she could even walk, she was captivated by visits to the zoo and cherished the joy of growing up in a multi-pet household. Every year at the scholastic book fair, Madi would eagerly gravitate toward the nonfiction animal books. If she wasn't immersing herself in their stories or watching NatGeo, Madi was spending time with the family’s senior cat "Baby," who fostered her deep love for cats.

As her beloved pets aged, Madi became increasingly aware of the health challenges they faced. Witnessing their struggles inspired her to seek ways to help not only her own animal companions, but others in need as well. This desire to provide care and support during vulnerable moments ultimately led Madi to pursue a career in veterinary medicine, where she hopes to make a meaningful difference in the lives of both animals and their families.

In October 2021, Madi was searching for a reputable veterinarian who performs ear cropping for her new Doberman puppy. After volunteering at Clermont Animal Hospital to earn her high school graduation service seal, Madi was officially hired in May of 2022, and the rest is history! As a veterinary assistant, Madi enjoys witnessing the special relationships between clients and their pets. She also finds great fulfillment in offering comfort and understanding during challenging times.

Outside of work, Madi has two pets of her own, including a dog named Vincent, who loves to drag his blanket around and is always up to some sort of shenanigans, and a cat named Leo, who randomly showed up on the doorstep one day. Leo is stubborn and sassy but is Madi’s soul cat. Aside from animals, some of Madi’s other personal interests include going to concerts, shopping for records, and thrifting. She also enjoys vintage cars and hopes to fix up her own 1970s Torino one day.

For Lacey Hayes, joining the field of veterinary medicine wasn't just a career move—but the fulfillment of a lifelong dream sparked in a clinic waiting room. Growing up in New Richmond, Ohio, Lacey enjoyed accompanying her mother to the veterinarian vet when she took the family pets there. While some children might squirm or tune out, Lacey was fascinated. Those initial visits sowed a seed that became a calling.

Lacey joined Clermont Animal Hospital in February 2025, but her connection to the clinic started even earlier. When Dr. Esposito visited her vet assisting class at Live Oaks Career Campus, something just clicked. That visit led to a job that now feels like home.

As a veterinary assistant, Lacey likes the daily routine of caring for animals and helping their families. She especially likes the chance to meet pets she might never see outside of work—each with its own history and personality. She's always inspired by the dedication of Clermont's clients, whose love for their animals is as great as hers. And for Lacey, her co-workers are not just co-workers but a support group of caring, encouraging people who make her day brighter.

Lacey's love of animals isn't just a professional requirement—it's also highly personal. She shares her home with seven dogs, and they each have their own personalities. There's Lucky, her 13-year-old golden retriever and resident grump; Fred, the equally grumpy Australian shepherd; and Dolly, the 12-week-old English bulldog puppy with endless energy. Bailey and Remington, her two energetic labs, are always ready for an adventure, Rambo the coonhound keeps things rambunctious, and Dixie—her beagle-dachshund mix—rounds out the crew with a signature sass.

When she’s not at the clinic, you’ll find Lacey out on the golf course or enjoying long summer walks with her dogs. Whether she’s on the green or surrounded by wagging tails, one thing’s for sure—Lacey is happiest when she’s doing what she loves: connecting with animals and the people who care for them.

Kaitlynn’s journey in animal care began on her family’s cattle farms in Southern Ohio, where she grew up surrounded by animals and the rhythms of farm life. From feeding calves to caring for pets at home, she quickly discovered that helping animals thrive brought her a deep sense of purpose.

One experience in particular shaped her path: a stray dog arrived on their farm and became part of the family, only to return one day with a serious wound across his chest. With no veterinary care available, Kaitlynn and her mother worked tirelessly to nurse him back to health. That experience taught her the value of patience, compassion, and hands-on care—and it inspired her to dedicate her life to helping animals professionally.

After earning her Bachelor’s degree in Biology, Kaitlynn joined Clermont Animal Hospital in June 2025 as a Veterinary Assistant. Every day, she enjoys meeting new patients, providing gentle care, and watching animals grow and flourish under her attention. She especially loves supporting foster pets, helping them gain confidence and health before finding their forever homes.

Outside of work, Kaitlynn’s home is full of energy and affection. She lives with her two dogs, Ghost and Willow; two cats, Theo and Ozzy; and five snakes. Her mammals are constantly vying for attention, keeping her days lively and joyful.

Kaitlynn is preparing to apply to veterinary school, with the goal of returning to Ohio to practice. Her dedication, empathy, and natural curiosity guide every interaction, making her a trusted and valued member of the Clermont Animal Hospital team. With each patient she cares for, Kaitlynn continues the work that first captured her heart on that farm—helping animals live happy, healthy lives and supporting the families who love them. She approaches each day with the same care and enthusiasm that first inspired her to pursue this path, eager to make a lasting difference in the lives of pets and their people.

Despite the fact that Mel doesn’t work directly with our patients, the days she works here as our Finance Manager are her favorite days of the week (even Monday!). Her undeniable love of all animals made working at a vet clinic a perfect fit!

When she’s not busy crunching numbers and managing the business side of things, Mel often steals away to visit with some of our patients as they come in for their appointments. Being able to love on some furry friends is a perk of the job few others in her field get to enjoy!

At home, Mel is happily married. Together, she and her husband have four kids and three grandbabies. Their ever-growing fur family includes a snuggle-loving dog named Charlee, an independent cat named Kitty, two hilariously entertaining Nigerian Dwarf goats (Barney and Betty), and eight chickens: Gertie, Ginger, Sally, May, Debs, Jan, Marsha, and Rose. Ginger is a hugger, Gertie sits on all the eggs all day, every day, and Rose is the leader at the top of the pecking order.

In her spare time, Mel enjoys doing yard work, playing with the animals and spending time with family (mostly the grandbabies). As a mother, Mel feels that her greatest achievement is having raised, or helped to raise, four wonderful humans. She is incredibly proud of her kids and their many accomplishments, and can't help but think that she and her husband played a little part in that.

Working with animals and their people has always been Roo’s life's mission. As a receptionist here at Clermont Animal Hospital, she loves being able to bridge the gap between our clients and care team, and helping to make everyone’s experience as easy and stress-free as possible.

Roo’s journey officially began at a county shelter in 2016. After working at a few other shelters, she decided to move from the back of the building to the front when she joined our team. Professionally, Roo enjoys getting to know our clients and patients on a personal level so she can better serve them.

At home, Roo is mom to her furbaby, Fred, an eight-pound Chihuahua with the personality of an 80-pound dog. Roo’s hobbies include training animals and spending time outdoors.

Growing up, Abby was obsessed with animals. Unfortunately, her mother’s severe allergy made it challenging to bring any pets into the home. Knowing how much she adored them, however, Abby’s mother tried and tried until they were finally able to find a dog she wasn’t allergic to. Abby credits this as the reason her passion and interest in animals was able to flourish. Now, as one of the receptionists here at Clermont Animal Hospital, Abby is making up for all those petless years and loving every second of it!

Abby attended the Grant Career Center for their veterinary science program. There, she learned about animal husbandry, grooming, and training. Abby discovered Clermont when she brought her dog in for an appointment. She immediately noticed how close-knit and helpful the team was and knew right then that this was where she wanted to be. A few months later, an opening became available, and the rest is history! Her favorite part of the job is seeing all the adorable pets that come in – especially exotics!

At home, Abby is a devoted mom to several pets of her own, including a Yorkie poo named Bella, a schnauzer mix named Sydnee, and two Kenyan sand boas named Jasper and Zeppelin. Bella is a total diva and always has to be the center of attention. Sydnee loves to play and if given the chance, would give kisses all day long.
