Jocelyn spent many years spearheading a beloved non-profit organization in Austin, TX, where she cultivated her passion for helping those in need. Her desire to be of service has crossed over into how she builds veterinary teams now. With warmth and creativity, Jocelyn brings together the biggest hearts and brightest minds by looking at team members as more than their skills, but rather seeing them as whole individuals. She deeply cares about the people inside of the veterinary hospital and builds fiercely dedicated teams empowered for good, and ready to challenge the status quo. Jocelyn recognizes and respects the role of pet parents as integral to the welfare of pets. She focuses on providing an unparalleled positive experience for pets and pet parents while supporting team members so that they can provide quality care. Above all else, the guiding reason that Jocelyn was drawn to Petfolk is its stellar team. Petfolk's vision for changing the pet care landscape and increasing access to care resonates deeply with her desire to help others. Building a community outreach partnership with local animal welfare organizations to keep pets in their homes after adoption is her passion project. In her own words, “building teams that are people-first and transform the pet care experience for everyone involved is my calling, and I couldn’t ask for a more dedicated group of colleagues to accomplish this mission.” Jocelyn resides in Waxhaw with her husband Scott (a fellow Petfolk team member), their children Liam and Zora, and a motley crew of two rescue pups (Ella and Jefe), four rescue cats (Mannix, Theodorable, Sam, and Missi), and a wayward and elegant garden snail (Turbo).

Ashley’s impact on transforming the education of future veterinarians translates to improving and challenging the private practice sector.

At Petfolk, Ashley combines her passion for community and the veterinary space to continuously push veterinary medicine forward. Born and raised in Clearwater, Florida, Ashley now calls East Tennessee home, where she resides with her husband Justin, daughter Lilah, and son Barrett. Her three dogs (Zulu, Doc, and Jaafaa) and cat (Whiskey) make their house feel like a home.

Dr. Martin’s goal for each visit is for every pet to leave happy and every pet parent to leave with a new piece of knowledge. She spares no effort in empowering you to be an educated decision-maker and a critical part of your pet’s Petfolk team. She believes in the power of understanding the “why” and will do everything from drawing pictures to demonstrating techniques to ensure that you feel comfortable and in control of your pet’s health and wellbeing.

She is eager to meet you and your pet wherever you are (whether it’s the couch or the hiking trail). Dr. Martin is creative in her approach to gather all the important information regarding your pet and helps you to decide what should happen next. Dr. Martin shares her home with her husband, Bryan, and her vestibular (wobbly) cat, Carlie. She loves being outdoors walking, hiking, golfing or playing tennis.

Though she had always been the kid to bring home all the stray animals, and it wasn’t uncommon to see her arrive home from school with a kitten in her backpack, working in animal welfare didn’t immediately occur to her. It was later, when she was years into a government career path, that her soul dog, CJ, passed away, spurring her to follow an impulse to leave a comfortable government job and dedicate herself to helping animals. Months of unexplained symptoms leading to an unsuccessful dash for help in the final moments with her beloved dog left Camille heartbroken. In the awfulness of losing her best friend without knowing why she made the promise that she would do everything she could to help others avoid the same feeling of helplessness. The day after CJ’s passing, she applied to work at her first vet clinic. These days, there’s nothing in the pet care center that Camille can’t do. From monitoring anesthesia and assisting in surgery, to sterilizing equipment, to helping pet parents make complex and difficult decisions, she puts her whole heart into everything she does, making sure things are done right and with compassion. Her area of expertise, unquestionably, is helping pets using Fear Free principals. Camille feels strongly about taking the fear out of veterinary care for nervous pets and making it easier for them to receive the services they need. In her previous practice, it was not uncommon to see a dog who was initially too afraid to even walk in the front door, later needing to be lured back outside because they were having such a good time with Camille and her bag of Fear Free tricks. The talent behind Petfolk and the unique approach to caring for the pet parent as thoroughly as the pets are what drew Camille to join the team. In her free time, Camille enjoys tagging and tracking sharks for conservation. She and her husband Cole spend as much time in the ocean as possible, but they share their home with a pack of rescue pets, including four dogs, two cats, and two horses.

Kerry believes that all animals should have a warm, fear free experience when they visit the vet. Furthermore, she believes that all pet parents should have a positive and inclusive experience when bringing their pet in to see the vet. Transparency is a value that is very important to Kerry, which is one of the reasons that Petfolk stood out to her. Kerry is proud of the principles that Petfolk stands for - providing fear free care and ensuring animals and their parents are 100% comfortable in their veterinary experience. Kerry is the mother of a beautiful little girl named Mabel, a dog named Gretchen and a one-eyed cat named Winnie. Kerry plans to continue her veterinary education towards becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician to fulfill her career in the veterinary industry.

Petfolk and Reniah share the same principles of trying to make every vet visit a happy and fear-free one, where we treat your babies as if they were our own. Her main focus is to create an accepting and educational environment for all pet parents that come in so that they’ll always leave feeling more comfortable and secure about their pets' health. Reniah has two guinea pigs named Billiam and Bobert and a ten-year-old cat named Chuck Norris who will smother you with love 24/7. In her spare time, she likes to go watch musicals, try new restaurants and explore the city.
