Jamie Erickson - Lead Kennel Assistant

I’m originally from Austin, Texas, but I made the move to the Midwest to pursue my dream of working in vet med at the University of Kansas.

I’ve been part of the Gardner Animal Hospital and Dog Days Inn & Cat House team since January 2026. I’ve always been passionate about helping animals, so this feels less like a job and more like my actual purpose.

When I’m not at the clinic, I enjoy traveling, exploring the outdoors, or hanging out at home with my dog, Starfish, and my two cats.
