Sam has been with BRVC since 2019, but working with animals for over 15 years! Back in 2007 she was working at SPCA before joining our sister hospital, Amador Valley Veterinary Center, in 2017. Sam started out as a technician assistant before transitioning to her current role as lab technician. 

Her favorite part about working at BRVC would be all the animals she gets to interact with on a daily basis. She is also known for having a gift in caring for the more temperamental cats that come through our doors.

If your pet has needed any kind of in-house lab work over the past few years, chances are the results were tested and processed by Sam!

In her free time, you can find Sam gardening, reading, listening to music, playing video games, and spending time with her husband on their "catio" with their 3 cats, Ariel, Hank, and Kirikou. 

Laura started her journey at BRVC back in 2020 as a Runner, helping support our curbside services during the pandemic. She later transitioned to a Customer Service Representative position, welcoming and assisting clients at the front desk.

In August 2021, Laura to move to Southern CA and BRVC was fortunate to be able to add Laura to our remote Phone Room team! 

Her favorite part about her job is being able to guide pet owners searching for the care and attention their animals deserve.

When not working, Laura can be found out on a lake or hiking a nearby trail. She also enjoys quality time with her cat named, Doc, and newest member to their family, Gunner a German Shepherd puppy!
