Kim Gicker / LVT

I am the Practice Manager and License Veterinary Technician. I have many responsibilities and overall keep the hospital functioning. You may not see me because I am doing boring office work, but I do help at the reception desk, in surgery, and in the rooms. I have been a veterinary technician since 1986 and even met my husband at my first veterinary technician job when he brought in a stool sample for his dog!

I was raised around farm animals and hunting dogs and since then spent many years showing, training, and trialing dogs, especially Rottweilers. I enjoy working with older cats and dogs, even if they are grumpy.

In my spare time, you will find me in the Florida Keys fishing and enjoying life. Here in Delaware, I enjoy plants and gardening, hanging out with my rescue Rottweiler and being Lilith’s servant.

I have been a dedicated veterinary technician for over 42 years, with a lifelong passion for animals of all kinds. Known for my deep commitment to animal welfare, I rehabilitate wildlife, adore neonates, and enjoy educating clients. I have a particular interest in parasitology, and I believe in the motto: “Until there are none, adopt one”. My love for animals extends to her personal life, where all her farm animals and pets are rescued. My compassion for animals also led her to adopt a vegan lifestyle. I attended Harcum Junio College from 1992-1996, where I earned my credentials as a licensed veterinary technician. My world truly revolves around the care and well-being of animals.

Laura Timney / VT

As a 25+ year veterinary technician, Laura enjoys walking clients through especially tough times and educating them holistically rather than just their presenting complaints. She is an absolute Labrador aficionado, mostly the dark chocolate babies, and the elderly sweethearts!!! Laura has educated youth members of our community from preschool visits to High school demos and has even been a speaker at many 4H and FFA Club meetings.

When she isn’t getting her scrubs hairy and slobbery, she is getting muddy on her farm with her daughter’s flock of sheep. Her family raises rare heritage breeds. Their lovable Finnsheep, Leicester Longwools, and soon-to-be Gotland sheep are all raised as 4H projects and for wool production. They also show at the Delaware State Fair. When she isn’t chasing lambs around, she is feeding her always-hungry cat Lavender, and being suckered into extra treats and playtime by her 3 beautiful lab ladies. Her extremely patient husband and two teen girls live amongst the chaos, and she even finds time to care for her Pop-pop several days a week.

Laura has known many of the staff at Bay Animal Hospital for more than a decade and loves feeling part of a family including those special needs clients she gets to see so frequently!

Kayla Schaen / LVT

I am a Licensed veterinary technician and graduated from Delaware Technical and Community College with an associate degree in Applied Science. I aim to provide the best care to our patients along with our veterinarians and provide patients and clients with comfort during goodbyes and difficult decisions. I enjoy monitoring and assisting in surgery, using fear-free techniques on pets that are scared, and helping where I am needed. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, painting, and reading. I love to collect cups and mugs; my collection is over 20 right now.

Justyna Kwiecinska / VT

I am currently a veterinary technician. I completed my DVM at Warsaw University of Life Sciences, also a Bachelor of Science at University of Delaware. I am a DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) in Poland, but I am studying in the ECFVG program to pass the AVMA licensing exams! My aim is to help as many animals in need as I can and help owners provide the best lives for their beloved pets. My skills are small animal medicine, surgery and anesthesia, and I am certified in equine massage. I love horseback riding, painting, traveling, and photography. I am also a huge fan of Taylor Swift.

I’m not just a “vet tech”, I am a professional animal enthusiast. My skills include trying to soothe scared cats, giving injections, and generally surviving the chaos of the veterinary profession. I’m the reason your pets enjoy their visit to Bay Animal Hospital, or maybe it’s just the free treats. But who doesn’t love a free cookie? I have 4+ years of experience in the field and have the best short-legged dog who enjoys hiking and making you laugh.

Danielle Given / VA

I have been an animal lover since childhood, and cannot remember a time in my life that I did not share my home and my life with them. Veterinary medicine just made sense. I have been a veterinary technician for 16 years now, and have been a part of the Bay Animal Hospital team for four.

When I’m not snuggling furry patients at work, I can be found outside kayaking, hiking, and gardening, or planted on my sofa reading a good book or bingeing a crime drama. There’s also an excellent chance I may be sighted piloting a plant-laden cart to the checkout register of a garden center.

Sara Carrow / VA

I am a veterinary assistant here at Bay Animal Hospital. I grew up right around the corner here in Townsend. I graduated from St. George’s High School in 2017 with a background in biotechnology. I started working as a veterinary assistant 4 years ago and have enjoyed every part of being able to care for animals along the way. In my spare time I enjoy outdoor adventures with my dog Yeti and spending time with family and friends.

Lilith, The Cat

I am the hospital greeter. You will most often find me sitting on my lush bed as soon as you come in. I came to Bay Animal Hospital in 2019 as a sick, homeless cat. I was very hard to medicate and didn’t like being brushed or getting a mani/pedi. Boy have I come a long way!! I still have a couple of favorite employees (shhh, don’t tell everyone), but I will accept attention from anyone.

I spend my days sleeping mostly, playing with my toys, and bossing my minions around. You can find me outside on nice days in the fenced yard. I enjoy watching cat games and squirrel videos. Stop by to see me!
