About Us

Romie Lane Pet Hospital is proud to be part of the VetnCare family, a network of 12 locally led hospitals across Northern California. Founded in 2012, VetnCare’s mission is to deliver next-level care, next-door by supporting local hospitals with centralized resources in HR, finance, IT, operations, and marketing—so clinical teams can focus on what they do best: caring for pets and their people.

At Romie Lane, we combine advanced medical expertise with a warm, supportive, and fun culture. Our DVMs are skilled in performing advanced procedures such as brachycephalic surgery and endoscopy, and our hospital is equipped with a modern surgical suite, brand-new digital X-ray, updated ultrasound, endoscopy machine, and newly renovated exam rooms.

Our client base is diverse thanks to our central Salinas location, and we pride ourselves on building strong, lasting relationships with pet parents. Outside of work, our team enjoy social activities that strengthen connections and make our workplace both friendly and collaborative.
