Hi, I am Amy Rosencrantz.  I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada and grew up surrounded by pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, horses, hamsters, and even fish.  I loved them all and knew from an early age that I wanted to spend my life taking care of animals.

I obtained my bachelors degree from Brandeis University in Boston, MA in 2001 and my doctorate from Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS in 2008.  I also completed an extremely challenging, 1 year internship at the ASPCA's Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital in New York City.  I got to move from the Little Apple (Manhattan, KS) to the Big Apple (Manhattan, NY), doing what I loved in both places.  Bergh Memorial is a wonderful sanctuary for animals, and I enjoyed the opportunity to experience life in New York City while being a part of a facility dedicated to rescuing abused and neglected pets.
While preparing for veterinary school, I worked as a nurse for an animal hospital in Las Vegas for 3 years.  That is where I met and fell in love with my baby.  I have a miniature dachshund named Darby Doo who stuck with me through all of vet school and beyond.  She is a joy and pleasure, and you will often find the two of us together playing an intense game of fetch on the beach.  She is as obsessed with tennis balls as I am with animal welfare.

I have recently moved to Orange County and I am thrilled to be coming on full-time with the Alicia Pet Care Center family!!!  I look forward to meeting your families and becoming a crucial part of your pet's life, health & well-being.
