My name is Dev! My pronouns are They/Them. My whole life revolves around my animals, art, and finding my happiness. I graduated from The Art Institute of Seattle with my associate’s degree in graphic design, but I switched career paths in search of more fulfillment for my heart and of course that led me to more animals!
Anastasia is a certified veterinary assistant with a passion for providing the best care possible for animals. She obtained her veterinary assistant certification at Pima Medical Institute in 2020, and since then, she has been dedicated to serving her clients and furry patients with the utmost care and compassion.
She was raised on Mercer Island, Washington. She grew up with her furry loved ones, “Lucky Jack the six-toed cat” and Willow, her beloved 10-year-old Cavapoo. Lucky Jack had some health issues during his life which required medical attention, and it was through observing the care and compassion that inspired her to pursue a career in the field.
Willow, on the other hand, her unwavering love and joy for life have kept her motivated in this field.
In her free time, she loves to spend time with family and friends, go sailing on Lake Washington, and express her artistic side.
As a veterinary assistant, her purpose is to provide the best care and attention to patients and their human families. She strongly believes that building strong relationships with both the pets and their owners leads to the best outcomes. In the words of Anatole France, “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” Her soul has been awakened by her passion for animal care, and she is ready to provide your pets with the care they deserve

Her hope is to continue her education in veterinary medicine at some point. Until then, we will benefit from her amazing sense of humor, and teamwork, and our clients and patients will benefit from the compassion that she brings to every appointment.
When she isn’t working, Natalie loves playing with her cat Karma (although she would adopt all the animals if she could)
