Countryside Pet Clinic and Resort

Karen Childs:

My name is Karen Childs. I have worked in the front office for 5 years and really enjoy my job. I love visiting with clients and pets that I have known since I started and going through their pet's life together. My husband, Rob, 2 teenage children, Ben and Lauren and myself moved to the USA in 1995 from England. We have 2 miniature schnauzers, Sophie and Stanley, and a shy but lovable cat, Holly. In my limited spare time, I enjoy going out with friends, cooking and interior design.

Ashley Hamby: 
My name is Ashley Hamby.  I started working at Countryside Pet Clinic July of 2004.  I am very pleased to work at such a compassionate clinic.  I am a receptionist here and really enjoy the work I do.  Our whole team of Doctors, Technicians, Assistants and Receptionists has one goal it is to have given exceptional care of animals as well as our clients.  I am a proud mother of Baby Bear, a Lhasa Apso.  He also goes by "Punky".  He of course is the best dog in the world.  Our clinic supports our local shelters and animal adoption groups.  I enjoy helping and working with these organizations to help animals in need get lifetime homes.

Rhonda Herbers: 
My name is Rhonda Herbers. I joined the Countryside Staff in January 2008. I am a receptionist and love greeting our clients and patients. It is a real honor to work with such a dedicated veterinary team. I live on a farm East of Rose Hill with my husband Martin, and my mother, Gonia.  We have two wonderful grown children, son Judd, and daughter Jessie. Martin and I raise beef cattle and miniature horses. We also share our home with our Lab “Crash”, Terriers “Nellie” and “Shelby”, Sheltie “Libbie Jane” and three cats “Jill, Lizzie and Little Kitty”. Of course no farm is complete without Barn Kitties, “Spanky and Katie”, and I can not forget to mention miniature mules “Vernon and Margaret”. We can not imagine our lives without our pets!!
