Amy Jimenez

Practice Manager

Hello, my name is Amy, and I am the Practice Manager here at both Eagle Vet and Cowboy Kennels. I have always had a passion for animals starting at a young age. I started training dogs and cats as a past time and moved to training birds for large entertainment companies for almost 10 years. I got into rescuing and fostering kittens throughout the years and have helped over 20 find good homes and eventually in 2019 found myself at Cowboy Kennels where I was hired as a part time kennel tech. I had a passion for animal care and eventually made it up the ladder to become the Practice Manager for Cowboy Kennels in 2021. I was asked to take over Eagle Vet in 2025 and my goal is to join both Eagle Vet and Cowboy Kennels to meet all our client’s needs. When I am not splitting my time between the 2 facilities I enjoy relaxing at home or on the beach with my husband and 2 girls, Ocean and Coraline.

Maricruz

Lead CSR

I’m Maricruz, I am the lead receptionist here at Eagle Vet. I have a passion for animals that shines in all areas of my life. I have always been surrounded by family pets and local wildlife, allowing my love for animals to blossom at a young age. From the moment I started working in the veterinary world in 2016, I knew I had found my calling. Here at Eagle Veterinary Hospital, I enjoy approaching each day with enthusiasm and compassion, whether I am scheduling appointments, comforting worried pet owners, or simply showering pets with love. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in nature, exploring hiking trails with my dog, and unwinding with a good book. My furry family members include Cooper, a loyal and energetic Pomeranian, and two cats, Dante and Elvis, who keep me entertained with their antics and affection.

AT, a Goffin’s Cockatoo, was rehomed to the clinic several years ago and has loved his personal suite here ever since. As Chief of Security, he dutifully lets our receptionist staff know when a client enters the building. He is a classical music connoisseur and enjoys head bops, bananas, and nibbling fingers.

Cowboy

Clinic Supervisor

Cowboy has a mysterious past but showed up one day at the clinic and decided to stick around. He was raised here at Eagle Veterinary Hospital from a young age, and while shy at first, he loves anyone who will give him a treat. Cowboy is passionate about his supervisory role at the clinic, meowing at doors, and taking naps on office chairs.
