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.
Nicole is one of our main LVT’s who strives for positivity and top notch patient care at our hospital. Each and every single day she comes to work, she brings nothing but smiles and productivity to our workplace. She enjoys working alongside our doctors in the OR routinely throughout the week, in addition to getting puppy kisses when not monitoring anesthesia. On her free time, she packs her schedule with hiking, rock-climbing, going for runs, or hanging with friends. At home, she has a sweet black dwarf bunny named Bellatrix, and variety of other reptiles at home.
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.
Fernanda graduated Stony Brook University this past spring 2023 with her Bachelors of Science in Biology. She will be going to vet school after a much-needed gap year and has interest in furthering her education abroad out of the U.S. Once she’s a veterinarian, she hopes to work in a small animal hospital just like ours! In her spare time, Fernanda is an avid traveler who loves to visit and explore new places. She loves shopping, doing her makeup, and loves to go out with friends and attend music festivals. Most importantly, she loves taking her little shih tzu Manchitas on walks and spoiling her with treats.
