Built by vets who love pets.

Dr. Couch’s love for veterinary medicine stems from rescuing her first dog Maddie. Maddie entered her life during high school and changed it for the better. Pets have an incredible ability to show us unconditional love and bring so much happiness to our life. When it came time to decide a career path, it was an easy answer. She wanted to help provide exceptional care to pets that give so much yet ask for so little, and help others experience the joys of the human animal bond.

Being a first time dog owner, she remembers sitting in an exam room with questions that were never answered. She left feeling uneasy, without a good understanding of what needed to be done. As a veterinarian, Dr. Couch has made it her goal to empower owners to feel in control of their pet’s health and gain knowledge at each visit. Client communication and education is her favorite part of general practice and believes it builds an important foundation to deliver exceptional pet care. Additionally, she enjoys forming relationships with pet parents to develop an action plan for both healthy and sick pets. She strives to answer all your questions at each visit to make sure you have a clear understanding of everything that was discussed. Dr. Couch is motivated by the relationships she builds with pet parents which allows her to keep pets healthy and pet parents happy.

Dr. Couch was born and raised in Southern California prior to traveling to the southeast for veterinary school at Auburn University. She lives in Charlotte, with her husband Trevor and their two fur babies, Maddie and Niles, who are both rescue pit bull mixes. They are both full of personality, Maddie being the sassy old lady and Niles being the snuggly old man. Outside the clinic, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends and traveling.

Dr. Green is from a small town in North Carolina. She received her bachelor degrees in Chemistry and Molecular Biology from Appalachian State University and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from NC State College of Veterinary Medicine.

After an exciting Alaskan adventure, she moved back to North Carolina to be closer to friends and family. Dr. Green enjoys the challenge of complex cases and is passionate about helping pet parents understand their pet’s health so they can be actively involved in their care.

In her free time she enjoys snowboarding, traveling, and spending time with her cat, Rambo. Her special interests include soft tissue surgery, dentistry, and feline medicine.

Knowing that she is one of the small percentage of veterinarians who are hispanic/spanish speaking, she takes great pride in her ability to ease the process for those pet parents who speak Spanish as their first language! Dr. Jones lives with her husband, BJ, and her two dogs Drizzy and Griffey. She loves walks with her dogs, concerts, performing horrible karaoke, and naps. If you have any great books you’ve read lately let her know because she is always in search of new books to add to her reading list.

Dr. Jennifer Sawyer grew up on a little farm in a small town in the mountains of North Carolina. Animals of every size, scaled, furred, and feathered, have always been attractive to her since a young child. She dreamed and worked hard towards becoming a doctor of these creatures she loved, since the age of 5.

In practice, Dr. Jennifer strives to provide the highest quality veterinary and preventative care in every appointment. Through her years of practicing medicine, she discovered a new passion in addition to caring for pets- to be a trustworthy guide and companion to parents of the pets she cares for, from the very first visit. Dr. Jennifer wishes for each pet parent she meets to feel cared for, listened to, and perhaps even look forward to their visits to the veterinarian, just as she always did growing up. She also enjoys behind the scenes leadership roles, caring for the pet care team, and working towards greater efficiency, so that the overall experiences of the pet parents are above their expectations.

Dr. Jennifer has 3 darling children and one very spoiled toy poodle named Pretzel. Most mornings, you will find Pretzel (fondly nicknamed “baby”) sitting in the extra chair at the kitchen table peering over the edge of the table with expectant eyes, hoping for some egg. During her free time, Dr. Jennifer enjoys traveling with her family, the beach, reading, walks, and working on her Etsy shop for fun.

Reece Eldredge was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. She went to Queens University of Charlotte. She has a husky named Bentley and a ragdoll cat named Aspen.
Reece plans to go to a Veterinarian School within the next couple of years, and her dream is to one day own her own practice.

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.

Mandy lives in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia where she enjoys hiking, especially to waterfalls. She has 2 human children Rachel and Chase. Her and her husband Tony, hope to move to NC and find a nice secluded cabin tucked away in the woods somewhere surrounded by nature.

She spends her free time going outdoors with the pups and hiking whenever possible. Ashley has been training her Aussie how to smell her low blood sugar and lessons are going smoothly. She is excited to be apart of the Petfolk team.

These days, Molly occupies herself with her two cats, Gwendolyn and Finnley and her dog Neville. She was drawn to this company because she appreciates the kind approach, Fear Free techniques and empathetic nature of the team. Looking forward, Molly’s main goals are to finish her Veterinary Technician degree and grow with One Vet while pursuing her love for environmentalism in any way she can.
