Meet the Staff
Rachael, Reception, Scheduling, and Animal Care
Although a Burke native, Rachael came to the Burke Veterinary Clinic by way of Omaha, Nebraska. She worked in a veterinary clinic as a teen and lucky for us, she rekindled her interest when she and her husband moved back to the Burke area. Rachael is proficient in all aspects of patient care as well as reception and scheduling. When she isn't working you might find her and her husband fishing at Burke Lake. Rachael also does pet sitting and house sitting as a side job outside of her clinic duties. Feel free to contact her if you need a pet sitter.

Julie
Julie started working at the clinic in September of 2008. She is married and has two dogs - Harley, a Boxer, and Scrappy, a Puggle. When not working she enjoys spending time with her friends and family and going on long walks with her dogs.
Rebecca

Anna
Anna is a college student who has a particular fondness for animals. She is helping to support herself and fund her education by working part time at the Burke Veterinary Clinic. Anna particularly enjoys interacting with clients and is a big help with patient care. Her "big" sister Rachael who also works here, is the perfect role model and Anna strives to learn as much from her as possible. Together, they make a great family team!
Maryse, Bookkeeper
