Meet Our Team

Paula is currently a senior at Lafayette High School and will be attending James Madison University this fall to major in Biology as she works toward her dream of specializing in cardiovascular medicine. Smart, driven, and somehow still the funniest person in the room.

She’s been involved in sports since she was little — spending 10 years in gymnastics and playing field hockey for her high school team — so staying busy is basically part of her personality.

Outside of school and work, Paula loves spending time with friends, traveling with family, listening to music, and relaxing at the beach in her favorite place, Puerto Rico.

If you see Paula out on the road with us, expect great energy, lots of laughs, and someone who genuinely makes every visit brighter. We’re so excited to have her on the team.

Born in a small town in Mexico and raised in Ohio, Brenda’s love for animals started early and never really let up. By the time she was 17, she was already working in veterinary medicine and quickly realized she had found her place in the world.

Since then, she’s built a career around that passion, working in different areas of the field and falling in love with every patient and every challenge along the way.

Brenda recently made the move from South Carolina to Virginia with her husband and their four pets, Luna, Juno, Sushi, and Sriracha, which means life is always a little busy and a lot of fun.

When she’s not out on the road, Brenda loves spending time outdoors, reading, cycling, catching up with friends and family, and trying out new coffee shops and local eateries.

She’s a natural multi-tasker with a passion for organization and efficiency, and she even runs a digital template business focused on helping veterinary clinics stay organized behind the scenes.

If you see her in the van with us, she’s likely coordinating appointments, supporting patients and clients, assisting Dr. Ortiz with patient care and treatments, and helping keep everything running smoothly to ensure your pets receive the best care possible.

Brenda brings heart, organization, and a whole lot of passion to everything she does, and we’re lucky to have her on the team.

Dr. Giniaro Ortiz was born and raised in Sabana Grande, Puerto Rico, where his early years were shaped by two lasting passions: animals and sports. Growing up alongside his grandparents, he spent much of his childhood helping care for farm animals, while also staying active through baseball and basketball — a combination that naturally led him toward veterinary medicine.

He went on to study Animal Science at both University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez and Louisiana State University before earning his veterinary degree in 2008 through Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and completing clinical training through Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine.

For more than 18 years, Dr. Ortiz has built a strong foundation in veterinary medicine and now brings that experience to his mobile practice, focusing on delivering high-quality, relationship-centered care directly to pets and their families. His mission is to strengthen the pet-human bond while making veterinary care more accessible, personal, and meaningful.

Outside of veterinary medicine, Dr. Ortiz is also a competitive cyclist who races nationally and internationally as part of USA Cycling. His dedication to discipline, performance, and growth carries through everything he does — whether he’s on the road, in competition, or caring for patients.

He is also deeply committed to mentoring the next generation of veterinary professionals, including veterinarians, technicians, and students, helping guide and support others in a field he is passionate about.

When he’s not working or racing, you’ll find him traveling with his family or training on his bike. Dr. Ortiz leads with experience, heart, and purpose — and is proud to bring a new level of care directly to the community through mobile veterinary medicine and telemedicine.
