Dr. Jennifer Taylor is the Less Stress Vet. She founded HouseCalls for Dogs & Cats in 2002 to help the many dogs, cats, and owners who have had stressful experiences at traditional veterinary hospitals.
Dr. Taylor is a Summa Cum Laude graduate of the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine (DVM, 2001) and of Marshall University (BA, Communications, 1992). She is licensed through the Veterinary Medical Licensing Board of the State of Ohio and accredited through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Additionally, HouseCalls for Dogs & Cats is a member of the Better Business Bureau of Central Ohio, Inc.
Dr. Taylor's approach to veterinary medicine involves four important facets. First, she is committed to staying up-to-date with the latest medical information and advancements, so that her housecall patients will receive expert medical care. Second, she strives to handle pets gently and lovingly. Third, she recognizes that listening to owner concerns and questions is crucial to understanding the specifics of each patient's unique situation. And fourth, she explains complex medical situations as clearly as possible, so that owners have all of the information they need to make the best possible decisions for their pets.
In her own home, Dr. Taylor cares for three wonderful pets, including her two cats, Picabu and Rayman, and her dog, Delilah.
Our HouseCalls staff is comprised of talented and experienced people who are committed to making your pet's visit both pleasant and productive. They are qualified to answer questions, and skilled at handling dogs and cats gently and safely. Owners are not required to restrain their animals for examinations or procedures.

Chrissy Thomas
Chrissy Thomas began working with Dr. Taylor in 2004 during college. After graduating, she knew she couldn't stand being stuck in an office all day, so she continued working with animals, which she has been doing since 1997. Chrissy lives in Clintonville with her husband, son and crew of cats, dogs, reptiles, and fish. She is active in TNR (Trap-Neuter-Release) with feral cat colonies. Chrissy loves all animals, but has a special affinity for understanding and working with cats. She is frequently referred to as the "Cat Whisperer".
