Sandy Hayward
Practice Manager
I have been with A-4 Animal Hospital since 2009. I love what I do, the people I work with, our clients and all of the amazing animals we see every day. I value all the connections that I have made here. I am the mother of two amazing daughters and three elderly dogs. When I am not at work, hanging out with my pups, or spending time with family and friends, you can find me outside working in my yard or off on my bike.

I started at A4 Animal Hospital this year after leaving the human medical field. I am a huge Kansas City Chiefs fan, as well as a Husker fan! In my time outside of working, I enjoy being outside with my kids, playing fetch with my 2 dogs, Ryker & Maverick or cuddling on the couch with my cat, Pickles. Seeing and helping care for all of the fun animals that come in to see us is the biggest perk of my job!

Kelsie Kreps
Hi my name is Kelsie! I am a current undergraduate student at Nebraska Wesleyan getting a biology major and a chem and sociology minor. From there I am planning on going to vet school and am interested specifically in exotics and wildlife. I have a whole crew of pets at home including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rats, and a hamster. One of my main hobbies along with fostering cats, is wildlife rehabilitation! I have been rehabbing for about 3 years now and have done raccoons, opossums, squirrels, birds, and bunnies!
