Libby
Veterinary Assistant
Libby joined the Rainier Veterinary team as a Veterinary Assistant in May 2026, bringing her passion for animals and a background in animal massage and acupressure. From a young age, Libby knew she wanted to work with animals. She began her career in veterinary medicine during COVID, when many practices were experiencing staffing shortages, and hasn’t left the field since.
Libby is committed to providing compassionate care to every patient and is certified in animal massage and acupressure. She loves helping pets feel their best and is eager to continue building her expertise. “I enjoy opportunities to learn new skills,” Libby shared. She is excited to be part of a hospital with established roots in the community, and her knowledge and curiosity make her a great addition to our team!
