TEAM SPOTLIGHT: DR. JEN, DVM ✨
Owner | Veterinarian | The Heart Behind Tender Heart
If you’ve ever met Dr. Jen, you already know… she’s the kind of person who makes both people and pets feel instantly at ease (and yes sometimes kittens just claim her shoulder as their new home 🐾).
From complex surgeries to heartfelt goodbyes, she’s been the steady, compassionate force behind Tender Heart Veterinary Care since 2005.
Let’s get to know the woman behind “Doc” a little more 💫
🐾 Life in a Movie?
A mix of Funny Farm, Dr. Dolittle, and Bring It On, which honestly checks out perfectly.
🐾 Outside the Clinic:
If it involves horses, she’s in. Riding, driving… anything horse-related brings her joy.
🐾 Biggest Fear:
Running out of time (and if you know her, you know she makes every moment count).
🐾 Bucket List Dream:
A trip to Italy 🇮🇹
🐾 Soul Pet:
Roxie, her first border collie, who quite literally chose her.
She was goofy, persistent, and deeply loyal…walking beside Dr. Jen through life’s biggest moments for many years. Saying goodbye was one of the hardest days of her life… and a reminder of just how deep the human-animal bond truly is. 💔🐶
🐾 Why Veterinary Medicine?
Because of experiences where things didn’t go the way they should have… she made a promise to always do everything possible for her patients. And she lives that every single day.
🐾 Favorite Part of the Job:
Complex cases and surgery, she loves a challenge and the opportunity to make a real difference.
🐾 Favorite Part of THVC:
Her team.
“The people I work with are my extended family.” ❤️
🐾 Her Journey:
Decades of experience in veterinary medicine
Proudly serving the community as the owner of Tender Heart Veterinary Care since 2005
⸻
Dr. Jen built Tender Heart with one goal: to create a place where medicine and compassion go hand in hand…and where every patient is treated like family.
We’re pretty lucky to call her ours 💗
