Olivia Kulhanek

Kennel Assistant

Olivia was born and raised in a small town in Texas surrounded by animals from a young age. Whether it was cats, dogs, or bottle calves, she has always had a deep love for animals of all shapes and sizes. That love grew as she did, leading her to new opportunities. In high school, she was a member of the Vet Tech FFA team for three years. Her start in the animal care field began during her freshman year of college when she started as a kennel technician at a local veterinary clinic. A couple years later she moved on to a pet resort and got to experience a new side of the pet care world. In December 2025 she decided she was ready to step foot back into the veterinary medicine world and started her journey at VCA.

In the present day, she has nearly seven years of experience in various areas of the pet care world and uses everything she's learned to take care of each animal she meets as if they were her own while providing peace of mind to pet parents. Outside of work, Olivia loves spending time with her friends, family, and boyfriend. When she isn't spending her time on some of her favorite hobbies like baking, reading, listening to music, and collecting antiques; she is catering to every need of her and her boyfriend's sweet and spoiled cat, Violet, who walks around the house as if she were royalty.
