AJ is a lifelong reptile, dog, cat, and exotics enthusiast. She is the proud owner of Draco the blue tongue skink, King Serperior the ball python, Mr. T the Russian Tortoise, Charmander the leopard gecko, and Butters the axolotl. Her fondness of reptile began when she was 3 or 4 watching Godzilla movies. She also has 4 dogs and a cat. Her earliest memories are holding and caring for her family chickens. She is a student and enjoys studying art, science, and math. AJ assists with routine appointments and pet sitting at Sit Stay. She enjoys playing Pokémon, drawing, and teaching her dog, Lucy, to do new tricks.

Andy has been working with animals since he could walk. He has two rats named Birdie and Falcon. He helps his mom out by assisting with pet sitting, giving treats at appointments, and most importantly giving love and attention to patients. He is a student who especially likes music, math, and art. He loves Dragon Ball, action figures, Pokémon, Super Mario, video games, and playing chess.

Sarge runs the numbers (and occasionally the room) with an efficiency that keeps everyone on budget (and slightly on edge). A stickler for precision and punctuality, she’s been known to growl softly at late expense reports and misplaced receipts. Beneath the furrowed brow and sighs, though, is a loyal watchdog of fiscal responsibility who secretly enjoys a good belly rub after balancing the books. Her motto: No bones about it...every penny counts.

Slow and steady keeps the office running. Mr. T is a Russian Tortoise who has been with the team longer than most of the furniture, overseeing operations with a calm, deliberate pace that keeps everyone grounded. As Office Manager, he specializes in time management (he always takes his), health food distribution, and sunbeam quality control. While others rush, Mr. T reminds us that steady focus wins the day...and that sometimes the best ideas come after a nice, slow chew of kale.
