Dr. Lisa Littlejohn, DVM

Veterinarian

Hello! I’m Dr. Lisa, and I’m excited to be part of the Kind family. As a seasoned veterinarian in Small Animal General Practice as well as Hospice and Palliative Care, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs and cats of all ages, shapes, sizes, and personalities.

My approach to veterinary medicine is rooted in a deep understanding of the love and joy our pets bring to our lives. I look forward to working with you to ensure health and happiness for years to come — I love keeping tails wagging and motors purring.

Beyond the clinic, you might find me exploring local parks with my family, our young son, and yellow lab puppy named Cash, or practicing yoga. And as a 2010 graduate from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine, you’ll definitely find me watching college football in the Fall and sipping a Caramel Chocolate Cold Brew from Dunkin’.
