Head Nurse

Valentina Grajales

Meet Valentina Grajales, our dedicated Veterinary Head Nurse with two years of experience in the veterinary field. Transitioning from a background in hospitality management, Valentina sought a role where her empathy, patience, and love for animals could flourish. Veterinary medicine became the perfect choice, allowing her to pursue her childhood dream of working with animals while also supporting clients and staff in the clinic.

One of Valentina’s most memorable experiences involved caring for a large staffy undergoing chemotherapy. Initially wary, the staffy gradually began to trust her, and by the end of treatment, Valentina was able to assist without additional handling equipment. This experience solidified her dedication to building trusting relationships with patients and their owners.

What Valentina finds most rewarding about her work is witnessing the resilience of animals as they adapt to life despite challenges like missing limbs or chronic illness. Her passion for animal welfare drives her to educate pet owners on understanding signs of illness and knowing when to seek veterinary care.

Outside of work, Valentina adores her senior English Staffy, who is never far from her side. With his “sugar-powdered” muzzle, he’s both ball-obsessed and always ready for a cozy afternoon cuddle.

Valentina’s favorite part of working at the clinic is supporting a passionate and enthusiastic team. With a focus on upskilling, she’s proud to be part of a clinic that continually strives to provide the best patient care possible.
