NAH Boarding Staff

Meet the group of wonderful people who do all they can to make your pet's stay with us just like a vacation!

Dave
Boarding Manager & Adoption Coordinator
Dave started his career at Newport Animal Hospital in October of 2008. After graduating from the University of Rhode Island with degrees in biology and animal science, Dave ended up here at NAH working as a veterinary technician. While he excelled in the position, Dave found he enjoyed working with the pets in our boarding facility most of all. He earned a promotion to boarding manager in the summer of 2012 and does an amazing job keeping our boarders happy and healthy! Dave is also NAH's Adoption Coordinator. He organizes all adoptions that take place through NAH, and oversees the care that each "adoptee" receives during their time with us.  When he is not devoting his attention to our boarders and adoptees, Dave is spoiling his two cats, "Tookie" and "Matsi",  and his Border Collie mix "Echo".

Lindsay

Lindsay's lives with her family in Middletown, along with two Beagles, ("Lily" and "Daisy"). In addition to her family pets, Lindsay just adopted her first pet of her very own!

Mallory currently has a with a degree in Fine Arts but is looking into earning a degree in animal sciences. When she is not caring for her furry friends in boarding, Mallory is doting on her affectionate aquatic turtle named "Leonardo" and recently rescued (and vigorous!) kitten named "Willow" who is spoiled rotten!
