Jen
Jen
Practice Manager / Licensed Veterinary Technician
Jen has always loved animals. She became a veterinary technician because it allowed her to be a voice for the voiceless and an advocate for those who can’t care for themselves.

Jen moved to Gainesville, GA after graduating from UGA. She spent 25 years in general practice before moving to specialty for eight more years. She returned to general practice here at All Animals to manage and share her knowledge of veterinary medicine with the other technicians.

Outside of the clinic, Jen lives with her wife, Jessica, and their two cats: Doodles and Sassafras.
Shailyn “Shy”
Shailyn “Shy”
Customer Service Representative
Shy has always had a deep love for animals, but her journey into veterinary medicine wasn’t a straight path. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Miami, she spent her early years exploring the world around her, inspired by the trainers and marine biologists at SeaWorld. While she started out in retail, Shy quickly realized her true calling was in veterinary care. Once she discovered the world of veterinary technology, there was no turning back. She dove in headfirst, learning hands-on and developing a passion for both patient care and client education.

Shy’s veterinary career took off in Miami, but life soon brought her to Georgia, where she joined All Animals Veterinary Hospital as a technician in 2008. Over the nearly two decades since, she honed her skills at multiple hospitals, leading teams and guiding newer techs through everything from routine exams to life-saving C-sections. Though she eventually retired from her technician role, Shy’s love for the field never waned. When she saw an opportunity to return to All Animals as a customer service representative, she jumped at the chance.

At home, Shy’s life is just as full of love and energy. She and her husband share their home with their son and four rescue pets, including two boxers (Luna and Zeus), and two cats (Moo Moo and Freya). Outside of work, Shy is a creative soul, enjoying painting, wire-wrapping jewelry, and tending to her growing collection of succulents. She also loves traveling with her family, especially when it involves rockhounding for quartz crystals and exploring gem shows.
Dee
Dee
Customer Service Representative
Long before she was an employee here at All Animals Veterinary Hospital, Dee was a client. When the opportunity arose for her to join the team at the hospital she’d brought her own pets to for so many years, she jumped at the chance! Dee is now a proud member of the clinic’s front-desk team.

Originally from southern Louisiana, Dee moved to Dawsonville in 1996 and has lived in the area ever since. She worked in the human medical field for 18 fulfilling years before deciding it was time for a change of pace—that’s when Dee decided to do something she’d always been passionate about and explore the world of veterinary medicine. She joined the All Animals Veterinary Hospital family in October of 2020 and couldn’t be happier with her choice! Dee’s favorite part of every shift is getting to foster relationships with the area’s pet owners and their four-legged companions.

Away from work, Dee’s interests include staying active in her church, reading, visiting the beach, crafting, and spending quality time with her family. She and her husband of nearly 30 years have two wonderful children, Ariel and Ren, as well as several granddogs.
Bryce Rogers
Bryce Rogers
Veterinary Assistant
When Bryce Rogers was five years old, his mom gave him a toy vet kit. Most kids would have tossed it aside after a few days, but not Bryce. He was hooked. His stuffed animals became his patients, and his bedroom transformed into a mini animal hospital. That childhood fascination never faded—it only grew stronger.

Bryce spent much of his early life surrounded by animals, whether caring for pets at home or helping out on family friends’ farms. But it was a fifth-grade tour of the University of Georgia’s College of Veterinary Medicine that truly lit the spark. Walking the halls of a veterinary school, seeing animals cared for with expertise and compassion, he realized veterinary medicine was his calling.

In December 2023, Bryce joined All Animals Veterinary Hospital while in his second year of college. He was looking for a place to gain hands-on experience, but found a team that shared his passion and a space where he could grow. Currently pursuing a degree in biology with a pre-vet track at the University of North Georgia, he plans to apply to veterinary school in the near future.

What Bryce loves most about his job is being there for the animals and their people. Whether he’s helping care for a nervous puppy or reassuring a concerned pet parent, he finds joy in making a difference. Building trust with clients and ensuring every pet gets the attention they deserve is what motivates him every day.

With both of his parents working at his high school, Bryce grew up surrounded by role models who emphasized dedication, integrity, and hard work. Raised in Toccoa, GA, Bryce was inspired by the work ethic of his parents and guided by dedicated teachers and mentors. Today, he’s still driven by that same childhood dream and the desire to care, learn, and grow.
Mia Morrison
Mia Morrison
Veterinary Assistant
Mia Morrison’s journey into veterinary medicine began like many others—surrounded by animals and filled with endless curiosity. But what set Mia apart early on was how deeply she felt a sense of responsibility for their well-being.

A pivotal moment came when one of her childhood dogs was diagnosed with cancer. Her family made the difficult decision to say goodbye at home, and that experience stuck with Mia. It was in that difficult moment that her calling became clear: she wanted to be someone who could not only treat animals, but also guide families through those stressful or painful experiences with compassion and clarity.

Now a pre-vet biology major at the University of North Georgia, Mia took the initiative to reach out to All Animals Veterinary Hospital in early 2024 in search of hands-on clinical experience. Her passion and drive stood out immediately, and she joined the team as a Veterinary Assistant that March.

Before stepping into this role, Mia worked as a kennel technician at a boarding facility, where her love for caring for animals deepened. But she wanted more—more knowledge, more responsibility, and more ways to directly impact animal health.

At home, Mia is kept on her toes by her dog Miso, a curious troublemaker, and Clover, her cat with a knack for claiming any open book or laptop. They are her daily reminders of why she’s chosen this path.

In every patient interaction, Mia brings empathy, enthusiasm, and a commitment to learning. For her, veterinary medicine isn’t just a career—it’s a lifelong mission.
Katie
Katie
Veterinary Assistant
For Katie Janowski, working with animals is a calling rooted in connection, compassion, and a quiet determination to make a difference. Katie joined the team at All Animals Veterinary Hospital in May, bringing with her a deep love for animals and a focused goal: veterinary school. Currently studying Biology at the University of North Georgia, she’s on track to graduate in 2026 and is already laying the foundation for her future as a veterinarian.

Growing up in Dacula, Georgia, Katie once imagined a career in nursing. But after spending time shadowing at veterinary clinics, she discovered that her bond with animals—and her fascination with medical care—belonged in a different kind of exam room.

While working at a previous clinic, a man brought in a pregnant cat, intending to terminate the pregnancy. Katie and her fellow technicians worked tirelessly to save the unborn kittens. Only one kitten survived and eventually found a loving home. That moment, filled with both heartbreak and hope, reminded Katie why she’s pursuing this field: to be a voice for the voiceless and a caregiver for those who can’t speak for themselves.

At the clinic, Katie thrives on the hands-on medical aspects of veterinary work, combining her interest in science with her love for animals.

At home, she shares life with her dog, Little Ann, and her cat, Jil—her "baby," as she affectionately calls her. Jil may be sweet and cuddly inside, but outside, she rules the backyard with stealth and skill.

Beyond her studies and clinic work, Katie is preparing for the next big chapter: applying to veterinary school. With a heart for healing and a mind wired for medicine, she’s well on her way.
Layla
Layla
Veterinary Assistant
Animals have always been a part of Layla’s life, from competing with them to having personal pets of her own. To say she loves and adores animals is an understatement, but the reason she chose a career in the veterinary field goes much deeper. Knowing she could play a hands-on role in helping animals live happier, healthier lives has helped Layla find her true purpose in life.

As soon as she was old enough, Layla began to pet sit. She landed her first official job at a horse farm, and then was able to start shadowing here at All Animals Veterinary Hospital before formally transitioning into the role of veterinary assistant. Professionally, she loves holding patients and learning new things. Her favorite part of the day is the afternoon, when she gets to play with the dogs in the kennel area.

Outside of work, Layla lives with her parents and sister. She has several pets, including two Beta fish (Swim Shady and Eclipse), an angel fish (MoonKight), nine crazy, food-driven chickens, and a cat named Sam who is a lazy bum. In her free time, Layla serves as a leading officer in the Dawson FFA chapter and is a youth leader at her church. She is also a National Honor Society inductee.
Matt Holton
Matt Holton
Veterinary Technician
For Matt, veterinary medicine runs in the family—his father is Dr. Edward Holton, and his twin brother James works alongside him here at All Animals Veterinary Hospital. Matt knew early on that he wanted to do the same thing as his father and help animals to live happier, healthier lives! He couldn’t be happier to gain hands-on experience in the veterinary field here at the hospital while applying to veterinary school.

Matt is a Dawsonville native and a recent graduate of the University of Georgia, where he obtained his Bachelor’s degree in animal and dairy science. He plans on continuing his education at veterinary school in the future! For now, Matt serves in all areas of the hospital and enjoys the great variety that every day brings—on any given day, he might help to birth a litter of puppies or treat an infection in a dairy cow, and that fast-paced environment keeps him on his toes.

In his free time, Matt likes spoiling his own dogs at home. He shares his life with two Australian Shepherds named Taylor and Chloe.
