Hi, I’m Gabby. I’ve been at Blair Doon since 2021, starting out as a kennel technician and eventually moving to the tech side. I graduated from Colby Community College in 2025, passed the VTNE and have became a registered veterinary nurse. I have two dogs and a cat at home.

Technician

Hi, I’m Chrystal Beck I started at Blair Doon in May 2016 as a veterinary assistant. I was at my last veterinary clinic from August 2005- May 2016, where I started in the boarding kennels and worked my way up. I graduated from dog grooming school in 2007, so in my “spare time” I groom dogs. My husband and I moved to Douglas and bought a home on 21 acres so that our 10 spoiled rotten house dogs ( 10 Australian Shepherds) and 6 cats could have more space. When I’m not working I enjoy competing in all kinds of dog sports; agility, obedience, rally, conformation, herding, dock diving, and a little bit of everything else. Our Aussies are health tested and overly socialized, so that we can continue a healthy lineage or versatile Razzmatazz Aussies.

Howdy, I’m Miya Dunn. I started at Blair Doon in May 2022. Helping animals feel their best and supporting their owners through every step of care is what makes this job so rewarding. When I’m not at work, I’m usually spending time with my own pets - one dog, two cats, and a horse - who always keep life interesting.

Client Care Coordinator

Hi, I’m Janet Benton-Moss. I’ve been with Blair Doon since September 2008 as receptionist. Alias “Crazy Bird Lady”. It is definitely my home away from home. I’ve raised 3 incredible sons of whom I would be lost without. I have 3 very talented grandchildren (1 girl, 2 boys). One of whom may aspire to be an avian veterinarian. In my time off I enjoy my two dogs, 3 cats, and my 13 parrots who range in size from a canary on up to a military macaw, all of whom I consider my OTHER CHILDREN. Of course I also enjoy time spent with my “human” children. My family is my greatest reward and I totally believe what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.

Client Care Coordinator

I’m Audrey Martens, I started at Blair Doon in 2022. I have 5 cats that I love and adore . In my spare time I like to travel and dance. I like working at Blair Doon and connecting with clients and their animals.

Kennel Cat

My name is Olive.  I came to Blair Doon after being hit by a car.   The veterinarians gave me medicine for my pain, fixed my broken leg, and gave me TLC while I healed.  I still live at Blair Doon because I have nerve damage that makes it hard for me to urinate on my own, so the staff helps me with that every day.  I love it here; I have so many people to give me hugs, pats, and kisses galore.
