Jessica

Veterinary Assistant

Jessica is a proud native of Mooresville, NC, where her love for animals began early, growing up surrounded by farm animals and dogs. This early connection sparked a lifelong passion for veterinary care and animal well-being, which she has carried with her throughout her career.

When she’s not busy helping animals thrive, Jessica is a devoted mom to four wonderful children and four beloved fur babies. Family means the world to her, and she cherishes every moment spent outdoors with them—whether it’s playing sports, camping under the stars, or enjoying a variety of other outdoor adventures.

Jessica’s deep compassion, combined with her hands-on experience and dedication, make her an invaluable member of the Plaza Animal Hospital team. She believes that every pet deserves love, attention, and expert care, and she brings that belief into every interaction with clients and their furry family members.

Karrey

Veterinary Assistant

Karrey joined the Plaza Animal Hospital family in October 2019, bringing with her a deep and heartfelt passion for animal care. Her connection to our community runs even deeper—her family has been part of the Plaza family for over 14 years! Over time, Karrey’s gentle and kind nature stood out as she lovingly cared for her own family’s four-legged companions, naturally stepping into a leadership role in tending to their medical needs.

Her calm, soothing presence and genuine love for animals have made her an invaluable member of our team. Karrey has a special gift for connecting with every fur baby she meets, especially those who are nervous or anxious during visits. Her ability to comfort and reassure pets while providing skilled assistance is truly remarkable, and she has blossomed into a fantastic veterinary assistant.

Outside of work, Karrey enjoys spending quality time with her family and her own furry companions—Blue, Laila, Lilly, and Kitty—who hold a special place in her heart.

We’re incredibly proud of Karrey and grateful for the dedication and compassion she brings to our practice every day.

Midnight

Front Desk Manager

Midnight joined the Plaza Animal Hospital team at a very young age and quickly worked his way up the corporate ladder to become our highly respected Front Desk Manager. While his official responsibilities include greeting clients, boosting staff morale, and supervising snack distribution, most of his day is spent napping, snacking, and occasionally wandering through the hospital looking important.

Known for his excellent customer service skills, Midnight never misses an opportunity to charm visitors with his adorable face and signature tongue-out smile. He takes his role as office mascot very seriously and can often be found conducting quality control inspections on treats, monitoring the front desk from a cozy blanket, or attending important staff meetings while asleep.

When he’s not hard at work, Midnight enjoys long naps, short naps, surprise naps, stealing hearts, and reminding everyone that productivity is overrated. His greatest accomplishments include maintaining a perfect attendance record for snack time and earning Employee of the Month every month since his hire.

Although his workload is light and his standards are low, Midnight remains an invaluable member of the team and is committed to providing unlimited smiles, emotional support, and occasional supervision whenever treats are involved.
