Kristen
My name is Kristen Hayek. I am a Jacksonville native but my family is from New England. I have 2 sons, ages 13 and 19, who are my heart. I love all animals. I have 2 dogs (German Shepherd & Rottweiler), 5 cats, 2 eels, and over 20 fish.
My favorite hobby is tending to my aquariums and doing absolutely nothing on Sundays.
I graduated vet tech school in 2014, but I have worked with animals since age 16.
I am looking forward to serving my community here in Arlington by helping your pets.

Sarah
Hi! My name is Sarah, and I'm from Clearwater, Florida. I graduated from the University of Central Florida. I have been a technician for 5 years now, and I have a tripod chihuahua named Lil Bean at home. When I'm not working, I'm either boating or taking care of my various foster dogs that come through my home. I love the craziness that comes with veterinary medicine but I also love to create bonds with clients and their fur babies.
Hayley
Heyyy… My name is Hayley and I’m a vet tech here at Arlington Animal Clinic. I’ve been in this field for almost 6 years now. Obviously, I have a passion for animals. I have six dogs of mine own and a fat cat. My hobbies are doing arts and crafts with my 7-year-old daughter Lilly, or when I have down time, I enjoy a nice book when I can. I think my favorite part of my job is connecting and building a bond with both the clients and patients.
Emma
Hello! My name is Emma. I am a Jacksonville native, after receiving my Bachelor's degree in anthropology from Florida State university I decided to return home. I have been working with animals for a little over four years now and absolutely love it. I have two kitties of my own at home and one day I hope to adopt a dog from the humane society. On my days off you can find me relaxing on the beach reading or making things at home. I like to crochet and make jewelry in my free time.

Kyli
Hi Friends, I'm Kyli. I've always felt like my job should be purposeful and there's no better way to do that than to take care of you and your fur babies! I enjoy speaking with clients and sharing so much love with all animals. I've truly found a home in vet med. If I'm not at work spoiling your pets, then I'm at home spoiling mine! you may recognize Batman and Robin from behind the clinic desk, but I also have a sweet husky and 2 more cats at home who I enjoy spending my time with. Pets, nature and art are my specialty!
Jenifer
Hi, I'm Jenifer, originally from New England and moved to Florida seven years ago. I've worked in veterinary medicine for about twenty years. I don't remember a time in my life when I wasn't surrounded by animals. I grew up helping my father rehabilitate wildlife then moved into animal welfare, grooming, and veterinary medicine. One day I hope to open a sanctuary for elderly pets.I am currently owned by five dogs, one parrot, six indoor cats, and I care for a small colony of abandoned outdoor cats.
