Rachel Boyarsky
Veterinary Assistant

I have been working at VCA since 2010 as a vet assistant. Previous to working here I started volunteering at 13 for SICAW as a dog walker. During college I worked at Merry Mutts doggy day care and volunteered for a wildlife rehabilitation center. I graduated from SUNY ESF in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in wildlife science. VCA was my first job straight out of college and I am presently still here part-time. I have also worked for the Staten Island Zoo as a zookeeper and the ASPCA as a vet assistant. I am currently enrolled in the Penn Foster Veterinary Technician Program.

On my off time, I like to spend time with my own 2 dogs Rogue and Mystique who are pit mixes, and a rabbit named Aslan. I like to travel and spend time planning my next trip. I am a native Staten Islander from the south shore but currently reside in Queens.
