Head of Technician Department

Christopher Rhode

With over 12 years of experience in the veterinary field, Chris brings a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and leadership to our team. He began his career working in the kennels, where his love for animals quickly turned into a deeper interest in veterinary medicine. That passion led him to transition into a technician role, and through years of dedication and hands-on experience, he is now proudly serving as our Head Technician.

Currently enrolled at Penn Foster, Chris is working toward becoming a certified veterinary technician to further enhance his skills and continue providing top-notch care to every patient. His calm demeanor, attention to detail, and deep empathy make him an essential part of our hospital and a valued mentor to our team.

Outside of work, Chris is surrounded by animals at home too—with 9 cats and 2 dogs keeping life busy and full of love. When he's not at Carriage or studying, he enjoys hiking with his pups, playing a round of golf, and catching games at Wrigley Field—he’s a die-hard Cubs fan through and through!

In the future, Chris dreams of opening his own animal rescue, where he can continue making a difference in the lives of animals every single day. His commitment to animal welfare and passion for veterinary medicine truly shine through in everything he does.
