Practice Manager

Ever since Sydney was a child, she knew animals were her passion. Weekly visits to a local pet store opened her mind and satiated her curiosity. Over time her love for animals grew and she became the proud owner of a variety of reptiles, birds, rabbits, cats, and dogs. Desiring to be of further service to animals, she became immersed in the rescue community, fostering animals on their way to a forever home.

Sydney’s role as hospital manager comes after several years of working in all aspects of the animal industry. Her natural leadership abilities and dedication to excellence are a welcome addition to Setauket Animal Hospital. Her goal is to keep the hospital’s operations running smoothly and to keep all furry friends happy. Sydney is fear-free certified and greatly enjoys making any anxious or aggressive patient comfortable when visiting the office.

Outside the hospital, Sydney enjoys traveling, hiking, and finding new adventures. She especially loves spending time with her spouse and four fur babies, Layla the beagle, Connie the basset hound, and Earl and Jojo, the mischievous sphynxes.

Additionally, she works in real estate and as a NY State wildlife rehabilitator. She has a love for all animals, large and small. At home are 5 cats and her long-coat German Shepherd, Tristan. Lisa is particularly fond of the large breed dogs that come in, especially German Shepherds. She has a way with them that keeps them calm and comfortable. She enjoys going to the beach with her husband and Tristan in her spare time.

Veterinary Assistant

Haley started at our hospital summer of 2022. Since starting at our hospital, she has been nothing but an efficient, team player to the flow of our practice. She currently is studying to complete her biochemistry degree, although she aspires to be a veterinarian once established in her career. Her wishes are to specialize in radiology interpretation, and to continue to gain experience within internships and her time at Setauket Animal Hospital until she goes to vet school.

Within her schedule, she volunteers her time within the rescue community by fostering cats to find them their forever homes. Reading, going out to the movies, sewing, and vacationing is how she uses her available time for fun. She shares her love with her 2 cats Charlotte and Bea, and her 2 pups Oliver and Daisy.

Outside of work, Ava enjoys spending time with her family and friends, being outdoors and traveling.
