Missy Manlove, BS, RVT, CVPM
Practice Manager
BS, RVT, CVPM
I received my BS from UC Davis in 1998 in Avian Sciences (yes, bird science!). After working a few years in both exotic animal and specialty hospitals, I gained my Registered Veterinary Technician certification in 2001 and then became a Certified Veterinary Practice Manager in 2017. The majority of my career has been in Specialty Medicine, and Stitches has taught me to have a particular love for surgery! In my free time, you will find me camping with my family and my dog, Hunter, a giant Standard Poodle, who is my pride and joy!
Starr O’Dwyer
Doctor’s Assistant
I started in the veterinary field in 2019 as a receptionist and shortly later, became a Doctor’s Assistant in 2020. I have experience working in general practice, emergency/critical care and exotic animals. I found a love for this field over the years and plan on going for my RVT license in the future. Outside of work, I enjoy playing with my 2 Boxers (Axel and Roxy), my Havanese (Bentley), and spending time with friends and family.

I have been in the veterinary field since 2013. I became a registered veterinary technician in 2020 and am interested in becoming a practice manager one day. Animals have always held a special place in my heart and I currently have two sweet Labrador boys at home. Outside of work, you can find me spending time in the gym, at the river, or in the desert.

Nikki Navarro
Sterilization Assistant
My name is Nikki and I have always had a love for helping animals. I started my veterinary path in 2022 when I attended to OCVAS and began studying to be a doctors assistant. After graduating, I have been able to experience working with many animals in different fields and found my passion is for surgery. I love that I am able to be involved in saving animals and also being able to tell their owners that no matter what, their animal is getting the best of care. In my free time, I enjoy art or crafting and spending time with my own animals.
