Leadership Team

Dr. Frey earned her degree in Operations Research and Industrial Engineering from Cornell University before pursuing her lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian. She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 2008 and completed an internship at the New England Animal Medical Center in Massachusetts.

After seeing how stressful clinic visits could be for pets, she founded Vet At Your Door in 2015 to bring compassionate, low-stress, in-home care to Maine families. Her vision is to grow this model so that more veterinary professionals can experience the joy of practicing this way — and more clients and pets can benefit from it. It is her goal to transition Vet At Your Door to a 100% employee-owned practice by the end of 2028, ensuring its mission and values endure for generations to come.

Dr. Frey lives in Carrabassett Valley with her husband, three children, cats Atlas and Templeton, and standard poodle Greta. When not working, she enjoys mountain biking, running, and keeping up with her kids and dog.

Taylor graduated with a degree in Equine Science Technology in 2015 and began her career in the equine industry before following her goal of transitioning into veterinary medicine. She started as a veterinary assistant and quickly advanced into nursing management roles, where she discovered a passion for supporting veterinary teams and creating positive environments.

After several years in traditional brick-and-mortar practices, Taylor was drawn to the Fear Free model and made the move to mobile veterinary medicine in 2021. She’s loved the individualized care and meaningful client connections that mobile practice makes possible.

Since then, Taylor has worked in operations and recruiting within mobile veterinary medicine, earning her Certified Veterinary Practice Manager (CVPM) credential in 2024. As a recruiter, she enjoys connecting veterinary professionals with the compassionate, flexible, and rewarding model that mobile care provides.

At home, Taylor lives with her husband Dom, cat (Monkey), German Shepherd (Nadette), Quarter Horse (Bobbie), and miniature cows. When she’s not working, she enjoys traveling and spending time with her animals.

Lisa earned her Bachelor’s degree in International Relations from Assumption University and interned for the federal government in Washington, DC. She then worked in a city government role wearing multiple hats, one of which was helping local companies and local job seekers connect. This is where she found her passion which has led to a 20+ year career in Recruiting. Working primarily in the human and animal health space, her roles have ranged from Manager of Recruiting for North America at IDEXX to Director of Global Talent Acquisition at the Jackson Laboratory to Director of Talent at Rarebreed Veterinary Partners to VP of HR and Talent at BetterVet / The Vets. While her childhood dream was to become a veterinarian, using her talents to help build exceptional veterinary teams and advance veterinary care has been immensely rewarding.

Lisa lives with her husband, Jamie, son, Tanner, and dog, Thor, a Cockapoo who rules the roost! Outside of work she enjoys spending time with family, running, rucking, biking, golfing, pickleball, traveling internationally, and enjoying the plethora of fabulous restaurants right here in Maine.
