Originally from the Lower Kootenay's, Kayde has spent multiple years in Alberta before coming back to BC and settling on the Sunshine Coast with her furry crew, a rescued French Bulldog named Cardi and her cats. She spends her free time hiking, kayaking, gardening, reading and enjoying all of the Sunshine Coast.
She completed her Animal Health Technology Program in Vermillion Alberta and continued on her career path as an RVT for 15 years in small animal practice, emergency, and wildlife rehabilitation.

Janice
Veterinary Assistant/Client Relations
- Read Bio
Janice joined the practice in 2018. She first came to us as a client before joining our team.
Originally from Edmonton, Janice caught the travel bug at an early age. Making her way around the world as a SCUBA instructor, she got to be face-to-face – or fin to fin – with oodles of wildlife. It took almost 15 years of adventure, but she finally found her feet on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of BC and plans to stay.
At home, Janice’s happy little family includes two dogs – Reefer a pitty-heeler mix, and Bella a red nose pitbull. You can often find them on an outdoor adventure up the mountain, or out (and in) the water!
