About Vet

Hi there! I’m a University of Florida graduate (GO GATORS!!!) practicing for 11 years in small animal medicine, surgery, and dentistry. I’m the mother to a 4 year old golden retriever, Reese, and a blind, epileptic 15 year old cat, Simon. We lost our sweet Gus kitty recently to adenocarcinoma after 19 mos of amazing care with an oncologist. I have 2 children of the human variety as well; a 5 year old son and 8 year old daughter.

I look forward to helping your pets and getting you the answers you need! I have a very straight forward way of practicing, always keeping my client’s budget in mind. I don’t ask for expensive diagnostics unless it’s changing the plan I was going to do, or we need a prognosis for long term care. I will set out “good, better, best” options and always tell you what I’d do with my own pets.

Dr. Rockey is undoubtedly a top-notch veterinarian. Her compassion was evident immediately with the way she interacted with us and Bridgette. She was quite knowledgeable yet easy to talk to and explained things clearly and concisely. She was very attentive; she answered all of our questions thoughtfully and listened to everything we had to say. This was none more evident than when she caught a medication mistake that our former vet had made. Bridgette was prescribed two NSAIDS that should have NEVER been given together. Neither of the vets we had seen previously were able to spot this error and Dr. Rockey's extensive knowledge and level of attention she showed us saved our puppum from a near fatal medication oversight. We cannot say enough about Dr. Rockey and the high bar she set for us regarding remote vet appointments. If the rest of the vets working with Vetster are anything close to the caliber of Dr. Rockey then we will be vociferously loyal patrons of your service.

Dr Rockey provided helpful feedback and suggestions for improving Poco’s compliance with the ramp. She also provided addl options to prevent or lessen back stressors when jumping down from a bed or chair. I appreciated the consult and her patient understanding watching my dog and me in action.
