Veterinary Technicians
Susie spent 30 years working with horses where she discovered her love of creatures big and small.
She says the reason she has stuck around so long is due to the relationships with her coworkers, Bilmar is a family. In her spare time she enjoys needle point and long walks with neighbors and her two jack russells.
Beth graduated with a BA in Wildlife Management. After graduating she moved back to PA where she worked at an animal shelter for several years.
When not working Beth enjoys spending time with her two cats Yuki and Squee and exploring the beauty that is the Berkshires.
Shelby has worked in both hospital and shelter settings. She finds the Vets at Bilmar each offer a different style to their practice, ultimately benefiting the care provided to the patient and options + knowledge provided to the client.
Outside of work, she enjoys exploring trails with her dog, Myrtle, practicing yoga, skiing, and reading
Phoebe’s interest in animals began at a very young age with visits to her grandmother’s house. She’s worked to create a life based on her love for all animals, big and small by becoming a certified veterinary technician in 2018 and has been caring for large animals at small, independent farms in the region ever since.
If Phoebe isn’t farming or working at Bilmar, she’s most likely outside running, hiking, bicycling, or walking her dog, Ruby Rose.

Front OFFICE MAVENS
Bilmar brings, joy, humor, and love into something that most people dread - WORK- I feel fortunate to enjoy going to do my job everyday! It’s been an honor to work with the Drs, techs, clients, and PETS. I have a wonderful daughter Lyra age 11, a goofy hound named Scooby Doo who is just over a year old, and a peach faced love bird named Nemo.
Talk to you soon when you call in and I do respond to Lindy, Wendy, or Cindy, so don’t worry if you messed up the name! I’m quite the individual with a name and pets to match!
