Veterinary Assistant, Fear Free Certified Professional
Born and raised right here in Indianapolis, Emma was the child who always had a soft spot for all critters. She grew up wanting to save all the lives, and now she has the chance to do so! Emma has worked in high-quality high-volume spay and neuter, as well as general practice, which is where her heart is. She is also a fear free certified professional, fitting right in with the rest of the Northside Paws Family. In her free time, Emma loves spending time with her two pups, Gypsy and Ultraviolet, her partner, Eric, as well as gardening, outdoor exploring, and reading.

Emily
Emily has been a veterinary assistant since 2021, and is undeniably a dog person at heart. She has been interested in animal care and behavior since childhood but has a background in narrative journalism, communications, and creative writing. She is working on certifications for both Fear Free animal handling and grant writing so she can also work toward helping local nonprofits involved in animal care, civil rights, and the arts. You can find her outside of work having adventures with her husband and her 11-year old boxer mix Phoebe.
