Mackenzie

​​​​​​​

Mackenzie started at Beach Pet as a receptionist in September of 2019. Her favorite part about working at Beach Pet is that no day is ever the same. She says “Every day at work is always so different. I have seen different species and types of animals such as Monitor lizards that I would not get the privilege of seeing while working at many other places. It's amazing and keeps each and every day enjoyable and interesting. We never get bored at Beach Pet Hospital!”.


Mackenzie has a German Shepherd named Braun who loves to play with his ball and loves kisses and a mixed breed named Max who loves to snuggle and follow her around the house. Her idea of a day in paradise is taking Max and Braun to the park or spending time with her younger brother Elijah who has muscular dystrophy. If she is not with her dogs or her brother you can find her at the beach soaking up the sun with a strawberry daiquiri in hand.

Lydia


Lydia is finishing her biology major at Old Dominion University with goals of attending medical school to become a human M.D. She grew up locally in Virginia Beach, and her favorite part about living here is sunbathing and swimming at the beach. She started working at Beach Pet in February of 2021. Her favorite part about working in veterinary medicine is talking to and petting the kitty cats that visit our hospital. She has 2 indoor cats named Mushu and Iago, and 2 outdoor cats named Miso and Zuko. Want to hear something funny? Lydia is allergic to cats! No, it does not stop her. In fact she is our biggest cat lover in the hospital.


Her hobbies include going on runs and hanging out with her family. Her idea of a perfect day is waking up to a delicious breakfast while watching her cats play, then drinking margaritas on the beach with her family. Lydia loves summer weather and listening to music from the 70s.
