Jill, VT:

Jill is our head technician, chief ordering officer and general know-it-all. She grew up in Durango on the banks of the Animas River. She began working at BBVC in 1994, a short six months after the clinic opened. Jill enjoys canine agility, hiking, recreating at Lake Powell and about anything outdoors. She has A BUNCH of border collies. Too many to name, really. And as if she doesn't have enough, she also fosters for Western Border Collie Rescue.  

Becky, RVT:  

Becky joined BBVC as a registered veterinary technician (RVT) in 2020 and brought with her 20+ years of experience in the field. Becky moved to the Durango area from Northern California where she was working as a vet tech. Shortly after moving here, she took a hiatus from the vet world, obtained an accounting degree and worked at Easy Care Inc. After spending 7 years behind a desk, she decided it just wasn’t the right fit and came running back to play with the puppies and kittens. She’s known for her exceptional organizational skills, and if she’s left alone for the day, she will reorganize every cabinet space in the clinic. Becky enjoys all things outdoors, and is a very talented self-taught crochet artist.  Becky lives with her dog Indy, and cats, Bruce, Campbell, and Archi.

She’s well known in the Durango dog world from her longtime work with Willow Tree Kennels and The Gentle Canine. She is a wonderfully talented Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT/KA),  and is currently working on her cat-whispering skills. Morgan is also very good at coming up with jingles to sing about every staff member so if you hear her voice echoing from the exam room, that’s probably why. In her free time, she loves playing volleyball and running. She lives with her two dogs  Nephy Noodlehead and Gussy Wussy Baby Boy. 

Hannah:  

Hannah is a veterinary assistant and is currently attending San Juan College to become a licensed technician. She grew up in Chicago and graduated from Colorado College in 2014.

In her free time, she’s usually trying to train her high-drive herding dogs to be upstanding citizens or dreaming about running the Iditarod someday.
