Meet the Team

Dr. Valerius is originally from Hamilton OH. He obtained his undergraduate degree from Ohio Wesleyan University and his veterinary medicine degree from The Ohio State University. He has worked at small animal practices in both Grove City and Dublin and has returned to Grove City to open his very own practice!

He believes that all animals should have access to quality medicine, whether they have fur, feathers, or scales, and sees a variety of different critters as patients. Dr. Valerius was mentored by Dr. Don Burton, founder of the Ohio Wildlife Center, and has been a volunteer at the wildlife hospital since 2007. He also serves as an Advisor to the Board of the Ohio Wildlife Rehabilitators Association (OWRA). His favorite animals to see are rats, opossums, cockatiels, and turtles.

When not working, Dr. Valerius enjoys traveling, playing chess, and spending time with his wife and 5 cats.

Dr. George grew up in a small town in Northwest Ohio. She attended the University of Findlay for her undergraduate degree and received her Veterinary Medicine Degree from The Ohio Sate University. Dr. George has been practicing in the Columbus area for more than 20 years. She finds joy in caring for her patients and the families that love them. Her areas of interest include preventative medicine for all life stages, internal medicine, dermatology, and public health. She resides in the Columbus area with her husband and their three sons. Outside of work and stocking the fridge with food for her boys, Dr. George enjoys swimming, yoga, reading, and hiking. As a family, they can be found competing with one another on the basketball court. They share their home currently with their two cats, Wilbur and Blitz. Having worked previously with Dr. Valerius and Gabi, Dr. George is looking forward to being back alongside them and joining the All Critters family, serving the Grove City community.

Gabi co-founded All Critters with her husband, Dr. Valerius. An Ohio Wesleyan University alumna, she graduated from The Ohio State University with a master’s degree in Veterinary Public Health. She has a passion for all animals and is especially thrilled for the partnership with local animal rescue groups to help spay and neuter feral and stray cats in the Columbus area. Although an avid cat lover, rats, mice, guinea pigs, and turtles will always be near and dear to her as well. She serves as an Ohio Wetlands Association (OWA) board member and in her leisure time, she enjoys reading, biking, gardening, and traveling with Dr. V.

Hallie is an Ohio native who graduated from Bradford's Vet Tech Institute in 2012. Over the years, she has worked in both emergency medicine and general practice. She has 3 cats, Dory, Libby, and Donut Kitty, all lovingly named by her children. Outside of work, you will find Hallie at the ballpark, cheering on her daughters playing softball. She also enjoys reading, listening to music, bike rides, and spending quality time with family and friends. While Hallie has always had a love for all animals, guinea pigs will always hold a special place in her heart. Hallie is so excited to be a part of this new team, and she looks forward to meeting you and your critters!

Cheyanne is a graduate of Kansas State University who earned a degree in Animal Science, with a focus in business. She has since worked as a veterinary assistant and receptionist in a small animal general practice setting. Cheyanne joined the All Critters team with a strong background in customer service and a lifelong love for animals, especially rodents. She’s especially passionate about senior pet care — something close to her heart thanks to her 20-year-old kitty, Miss Frizzle, who she adopted five years ago from a senior rescue. When she’s not at the clinic, Cheyanne enjoys relaxing with a good book, playing games with family, discovering new restaurants around town, and planning her next travel adventure. She’s always happy to share her travel stories, a book recommendation, or a food recommendation. Cheyanne brings patience, warmth, and a genuine love for animals to everything she does—and she looks forward to helping make your experience at All Critters a positive one!

She is so excited to be returning to Grove City to join this amazing new team, and she can't wait to meet all of your critters!
