Our Indy Paws Family

Let’s give it up for the team who makes all the magic happen.

Kerri

Registered Veterinarian Technician, Practice Manager

As the Practice Manager at Indy Paws Veterinary Hospital, Kerri brings a deep-rooted passion for animal care and advocacy. She has been a Registered Veterinary Technician since 2010 and has dedicated her career to giving animals the voice and care they deserve. With years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, Kerri is proud to support the Indy Paws team and clients in providing the highest quality care. At home, she is married with three amazing daughters (though not all are still at home) who keep life fun and busy. Her home is also filled with four lovable (and very different!) dogs: Cain, our sweet pit bull rescue; Peter Parker, an adorably chubby dachshund; Capone, a spunky Jack Russell; and Dior, her stylish and sassy Frenchie. When Kerri is not at the hospital, you can find her crafting, embracing all things spooky, exploring amusement parks, or soaking in the magic of Disney.

Jessica

Registered Veterinarian Technician

Jessica graduated from International Business College / Vet Tech Institute in 2011 and is a licensed RVT. She enjoys spending time with family and friends as well as crafts like crochet. She has one teenage daughter, 3 Mini Aussies and 2 cats.

Kaelyn

Veterinarian Assistant

Kaelyn is a skilled and compassionate Veterinary Assistant who joined our team after graduating from the Vet Tech Institute. Originally from Indianapolis, she has been working in the veterinary field for the past 3 years but had been with Indy Paws for the past 10 months and brings a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and a deep love for animals to every appointment. Kaelyn shares her home with a fun and diverse group of pets, including a dog, three snakes, a bearded dragon, an axolotl, and a tarantula. Her wide-ranging experience with both traditional and exotic animals makes her a valuable asset to our team and a favorite among clients with unique pets. Outside of work, Kaelyn enjoys crafting with her Cricut and spending time with her nieces and nephews. A former softball player of 14 years, she brings the same team spirit and dedication to her work in the clinic. Her favorite holiday is Halloween, and she’s known for her creativity and festive spirit around the clinic that time of year. Kaelyn is passionate about providing high-quality care and helping both pets and their people feel comfortable and supported.

As a devoted wife and mother, Olivia balances family life with her commitment to making a difference, showing the same care to both people and animals. Her love for hunting reflects a deep respect for nature and wildlife. Creativity is another part of who she is.
