Rebecca: Office Manager

Rebecca helped open Southtown Vet with her husband Dr. Bob and is so very proud of its growth.  While she spends much of her time taking care of things behind the scenes, you may see her in rooms as your pet's technician or at the front desk performing receptionist duties.

Moving to Montrose in 2006, she was immediately touched by the warmth of the community and felt this was her home.  Her greatest joy is her family, including her two beautiful children, Alannah, and Lee John.   

When not at work, she spends most of her time volunteering in the community and at her church. She runs a monthly food pantry that assists 200+ families and started a program to give out pet food to needy patrons when coming through the distribution.  Most recently Rebecca’s time is filled with training the new family puppies, Bettie and Charley, who are always at the office with her. 

When asked what is her favorite thing at Southtown Vet, Rebecca says, "Our team; I am so grateful for all the amazing people that work here.  We are a family."
