Providing complete veterinary needs in Sandwich & Bourne, MA and surrounding areas…

Tina has been a pet owner for as long as she can remember. She knows firsthand how important our animal companions are—that’s why she makes it her mission on a daily basis to provide the best quality care for not only the pets of the area, but their loving owners as well! Tina is Sandwich Animal Hospital’s Head Veterinary Technician.

Tina’s veterinary journey began in Illinois, where she took a job at a busy 24-hour emergency practice while in college. A few years later, she moved to Cape Cod and eventually took a job at another local animal hospital. In 2007, she came across a newspaper advertisement for an opening here at Sandwich Animal Hospital—Tina didn’t waste any time applying, and the rest is history! She’s been a member of the clinic family ever since.

Around the hospital, Tina particularly likes working in the surgical ward, and she’s also partial to the clinic’s diabetic patients. Her favorite part of the job, though, is helping pet owners to understand the best possible care techniques for their animal friends.

Most of Tina’s free time is spent with her family and pets. She and her husband have four dogs and three cats at home. Tina also loves to sail—she and her husband own a 23-foot sailboat and enjoy sailing around Cape Cod whenever the opportunity arises.

Emily was a client of Sandwich Animal Hospital before she became a member of the team. She was so inspired by the quality care her own pet received here at the clinic that she decided to become a member of the family! Emily is proud to help the area’s pets and animal owners hands-on as a Veterinary Technician.

A Sandwich native, Emily began working with animals at a local grooming facility after high school, and also started pet-sitting and walking animals in her spare time. She’s been involved in animal care ever since. In 2017, she joined the Sandwich Animal Hospital family and couldn’t be happier to continue her veterinary journey alongside a team of compassionate, caring animal-lovers just like herself.

Medically, Emily enjoys performing dental procedures and helping nervous or aggressive feline patients to feel more comfortable. Above all, she loves the feeling of making a true difference—for Emily, being able to have a real impact on the community’s families makes it all worth it!

In her spare time, Emily likes exploring nature, traveling—she took a cross-country road trip around the United States and stopped at 12 different National Parks!—and spending time with her family and pets. Emily has two dogs: a German Shepherd named Hank and a feisty Old English Sheepdog who goes by Willow. The animal contingent of the family is rounded out by two cats, Izzy and Kitty.

Ashley is a Sandwich native, and Sandwich Animal Hospital has been Ashley’s family veterinary clinic since before she was even born. Ever since she was a little girl, she knew that she wanted to work hands-on with pets and become a veterinarian one day. Her goal hasn’t wavered! Now, Ashley works at the same clinic she’s been bringing her own companions to her whole life while studying in school to achieve her ultimate dream.

Ashley attended Massasoit Community College to study veterinary technology and was certified as a Veterinary Technician through their program. She joined the Sandwich Animal Hospital family in January of 2016, and has been here ever since. Currently, she’s earning her biology degree at Bridgewater State University, and has plans to continue on to veterinary school in the future.

Around the hospital, Ashley loves performing wound care, dental cleanings, and X-ray scans. Above all, though, she likes to meet the area’s pets and animal owners one-on-one and witness their incredible bonds firsthand!

When time permits between her busy work schedule and school studies, Ashley enjoys relaxing at the beach, going on hikes, snowboarding in the wintertime, and spending quality time with her own pets at home. She has a Border Collie named Harley whose penchant for always looking out for others has earned her the nickname of “mom dog,” as well as a rambunctious Pug named Jerry. Ashley also shares her life with Oliver, a cat whose favorite pastimes include sunbathing and indulging in catnip.

Pet care has always been a part of life for Robin, and she’s never taken for granted the wonderful relationships that we form with our animal companions. When the opportunity arose for her to use her business background while bettering the lives of pets and their loving parents, she knew that she couldn’t pass it up! That’s why Robin became a member of the Sandwich Animal Hospital care team.

Robin grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts before moving to Cape Cod. She joined the Sandwich Animal Hospital family in October of 2012 after running across an advertisement for an open position in the newspaper. She’s been here ever since! Robin’s favorite part of her job is getting to work one-on-one with the area’s pet owners and their adorable four-legged companions.

When she’s not at work, Robin likes kayaking, biking, and exploring in the great outdoors, and she’s also an avid traveler. She and her husband have three grown children and share their home with three pets: a dog, Jack, and two loveable cats named Betty and Stella.

Diane’s compassion for animals dates back as far as she can remember. While serving as a chaperone for her son’s field trip to a dairy farm, Diane felt compelled to advocate for the cows who were living in terrible conditions. A few years later she was honored to learn that her quiet protest had made quite an impact. Thanks to her, those beautiful creatures now enjoy plenty of time outside, grazing in green pastures.

Over the years, Diane has worked as a pet sitter, dog walker, kennel attendant, and dog trainer. When her childhood goal of become a vet didn’t pan out, she did the next best thing – became a veterinary receptionist and assistant so she could be around furbabies all day. After relocating to Florida and spending a brief stint in human social work, Diane decided it was time to re-enter the veterinary field. She applied at Sandwich Animal Hospital, and the rest is history!

Professionally, Diane enjoys assisting the doctors in the exam room and observing surgery. And, of course, there are the many challenges of managing our busy front desk. There’s never a dull moment and every day is different. Working with clients is great, but interacting with the patients is even better!

At home, Diane’s human family consists of her husband, Michael, and their son, Ethan. The love of her life, however, is a Mountain Cur / Pit mix rescue named Maximus. Every day, he greets her at the door and proceeds to zoom. Each night at bedtime, he likes to fall asleep spooning, with his nose in her hair or on her neck. And every morning, he wakes her up with a nose in her face and happy butt wiggles and tail wags. To say the two adore each other would be an understatement!

When it comes to personal hobbies, Diane’s interests remain tied to animals – particularly horseback riding. Once a great equestrian, she now rides for fun.

Solstice is our unofficial front office manager. You can usually find her perched on a shelf in the waiting room making sure all is in order. She is fond of attention from clients, giving power stares to dogs and drinking from the clinic's fish thank.

Solstice came to us on the winter solstice 6 years ago when Dr. Harmon and her family were driving from the clinic's Holiday Party. She was unconscious in the middle of Route 6-A but quickly recovered with only a broken jaw and mild shock. When no one claimed her, she found her home with us and has been part of the crew ever since. Please stop by anytime to see this beautiful girl.
