A Culture of Passion

Daiga Rozensteine, DVM

Medical Director / Veterinarian

Dr. Daiga Rozensteine has been with Madison Street Animal Hospital since 2019. Born in Latvia, she knew by age five that she wanted to devote her life to animals and by ten was determined to become a veterinarian. While working at an animal shelter called Dzivnieku Draugs in Latvia, she helped establish a charity hospital for stray animals and pets of low-income families.

She’s a graduate of the Latvia University of Agriculture, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, and obtained her Washington State Veterinary License in 2015. She has extensive experience in emergency care and general practice. She loves and feels deeply connected to each of her patients and strives to provide them with the highest quality care. When away from her patients, she can be found hiking, traveling, cooking vegan food, and volunteering at Pasado’s Safe Haven. Dr. Rozensteine also shares her home with Bholu, a rescued dog from India.

Caroline Davey, DVM

Associate Veterinarian

For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to animals and their unique energies and personalities. My favorite stories to hear are those about people and their connections to their animal companions. In high school, I started working at my neighborhood vet clinic which I had seen provide incredible care to my childhood best friend (Rocket, a loving bichon frise). I pursued an undergraduate degree in Anthrozoology at Carroll College, which is the study of human-animal interactions and relationships, and fell in love with the history, science, and psychology of these connections.

I went to veterinary school at Washington State University, where I became especially interested in preventative medicine and surgery, integrative medicine, and animal behavior. I plan to pursue certifications in acupuncture and physical therapy. As a veterinarian, I am guided by pet parents to honor their relationship with their animal family member and believe that working with animals to help them heal in turn strengthens the humans that love them. Cara shares these values and seeks staff that live up to exceptional care for both animals and their parents. I am excited to be a part of the team that keeps your family healthy.

My family: My husband and I have a goofy terrier mix named Zuko and a sassy and cuddly cat named Mango (he is the prince of the house). We four love to spend our weekends on the couch with a good cup of coffee watching soccer or out exploring new areas of the city. I enjoy baking, reading, working out, and spending time chatting on the phone with friends and family.

Bholu

Security Guard

My name is Bholu and I was born in a small town in northern India back in 2016. I had a challenging start of my life – I sustained a few injuries, including the loss of my front paw from a car accident. I also bravely survived the canine distemper virus. Despite these early hardships, I grew into a very strong and courageous dog ( that’s what my mom tells me every day).

In 2018, my mom ( Dr. Daiga) adopted me, and I moved to the United States to start a new chapter. My life has been full of adventure ever since. I even have a prosthetic leg, which helps me stay mobile and enjoy hiking and traveling.

I am also a beloved member of our team here at Madison Street Animal Hospital. I come to work with my mom every day and I take my role as MSAH patrol dog very seriously, always making sure my friends know if someone new is around. When I am not on duty, I spend most of my day sleeping on a comfy sofa in my office, enjoying cuddles from my work friends.

I am living my best life!

Ken Zebrowski, DVM

Associate Veterinarian

Originally from Detroit, MI, Dr. Zebrowksi grew up with lots of pets in the family. He had an affinity for both animals and medicine, so a career as a veterinarian was the perfect fit. Prior to attending vet school, he worked as a vet assistant and at the Michigan Humane Society. He earned his DVM with honors from Michigan State University in 1987.

Dr. Zebrowski is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association and the Washington State Veterinary Medical Association. He says his favorite part of being a veterinarian is client education and partnering with pet owners to find solutions that work for both them and their pets. Dr. Zebrowski has lived in Seattle since 1993, and when he’s not working he enjoys horticulture, cooking new and different cuisines, and staying active outdoors.

Ling Yu, DVM

Associate Veterinarian

I moved to Seattle from New York City in 2021 with my partner, Andrew, and our dog, Arty, and I haven’t looked back. Growing up, my passion for animals drove me more than anything, even in a household that didn’t see the value in pets. Becoming a veterinarian felt like the perfect way to pursue that lifelong drive and surround myself with the animals I love.

After earning my veterinary degree from Ross University and completing my clinical year at Purdue, I’ve been working in small animal practice since 2016. I have a particular passion for dermatology, finding it incredibly rewarding to witness the positive impact we can make in our patients’ lives. When I’m not at work, I take full advantage of Seattle’s access to snowboarding, dog parks, hiking trails, and road cycling—and recently, I’ve even taken up pickleball. During the darker months, you’ll find us cozying up with video games and a few rounds of mahjong.

Sierra

Hospital Director

Sierra’s career goal since she was a very young girl has been to work with animals. After graduating from the University of Idaho, she worked at a marine mammal center in Northern California. She recently moved to the greater Seattle area. She is excited to be a part of this team to help keep your pets active, healthy, and happy. She will treat your furry friends like they are her own, not just because she is an animal lover, but because it is how she wants her furry family members to be treated. She is looking forward to meeting you and your pets!

Jackie

Jackie attended Grand Valley State University and earned a B.S. in Biology. Throughout her career she has done fieldwork with Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge, working with their Greater Sage Grouse and Wild Turkeys in various states. Jackie moved to Seattle in 2018 and started working at Madison Street as a Veterinary Assistant. On her days off she can be found hiking up a mountain.

Kayla

Veterinary Assistant

My passion for animals began when my family adopted our first kitty when I was a child. I remember being absolutely obsessed with her, patiently waiting for hours even creating a trail of treats to get her to finally come out and that’s when I made the discovery that I am allergic to kitties. I had gone back upstairs to my parents and my eyes were all puffy and red but I had the biggest smile on my face.

I currently live with my partner in Seattle and our 2 kitty babies, Mimi (Tabby in the photo, 6 years) and Momo (Tuxedo, 3 years). They are my whole life and a big reason why I put my whole heart into every
animal I see.

My partner is my best friend so most weekends are spent with him and our babies. We love gaming (League of Legends, Dark Tide, It Takes 2), going to the gym, going out shopping, trying new restaurants, spending time outside and just being in each other’s company. I’m eager to add a new member to the family and hope to adopt a dog sometime soon.

I graduated from Seattle University with a B.A. in Computer Science and a minor in Biology in 2023 but slowly pivoted over to animal care when I worked at Pet pros post graduation as a way to take a break
from tech. That’s where my true love for animals resurfaced and I became extremely passionate about pet nutrition. I received my pet nutritionist certificates from Earthwise and felt fulfilled being able to help so many people and developed an appreciation for preventative care. Learning and growth have always been core values for me so I decided to pursue animal care further and worked as a boarding attendant at another hospital so I could continue helping animals in new ways.

I currently work as a vet assistant at Madison Street Animal Hospital and couldn’t be happier. I had limited experience working in a hospital but due to the unconditional support and love of the team, I am constantly growing and being challenged to become better everyday and that’s irreplaceable to me. I hope to one day become a Licensed Vet Technician and to keep learning because the better I become, the more animals I can help.

Sara Shaw, DVM

Dr. Sara Shaw grew up in the Bay Area of California in a home where she was always surrounded by animals. Even though as a child she wanted to be a veterinarian, life took her down other routes and she graduated with a bachelors degree in fine art from Portland State University. After graduation and some soul searching, she decided to return to her childhood dream and become a veterinarian. She graduated with honors from Oregon State College of Veterinary Medicine in 2007. After completing an internship in Michigan, she moved to Spokane and has been happily working in the field ever since.

She and her husband moved to Seattle just this summer and she has been enjoying exploring her new city.

She believes strongly in treating every animal the way she would like her own furry loved ones to be treated.

Al

Veterinary Assistant

Al has a household where furry companionship is wholeheartedly cherished. Their journey into veterinary medicine began with a remarkable rabbit named Bagel. From the moment Bagel hopped into their life, They knew they had found their calling. Nurturing an exotic pet like Bagel has been a rollercoaster ride of learning and devotion. It has fueled their ambition to revolutionize veterinary care for urban bunny parents, striving for transparency, trustworthiness, and accessibility in every aspect of pet health.

If Al were to tell every pet owner one thing that they recommend regarding veterinary care, they would say to trust your gut! You as an owner are their entire world, and they will let you know what they need. They trust YOU. YOU are their voice! You can find Al studying for Vet Tech school or hanging out with their “Fluffle” (Fun Fact: that is the name for a group of rabbits) in their free time!

My focus on leadership, client experience, and positive clinic culture helps ensure every pet and owner feels confident and welcomed from the moment they walk in.
