Bringing Compassionate Care
House Calls Veterinary Service is a full service veterinary practice that brings the quality, experienced, compassionate veterinary care medical team to your home. House Calls has been in business since June 1, 1995 to offer a low stress alternative to clinic visits for dogs, cats, and their people. In 2020, after 25 years with Dr. Riedl, the business transferred to Dr. Sanjay Jain. Dr. Jain, Nicki, Caitlyn, and Jaelynn (Vet Assistants) are continuing on for each visit.
Most procedures that are typically done as an out-patient office visit in a clinic can be done during a house call. House Calls also uses Apple Valley Veterinary Clinic for surgery and dentistry so we can offer the full spectrum of services that a traditional clinic offers.

Nicki
I’ve spent the last 13 years giving medical care to people & pets, the last 3 years with AVVC. I love caring for both our human clients and our 4 legged ones! I enjoy following your pets through all stages of life, from puppy & kitten through to their senior years. I love the variety of pets we get to care for, but do have a special place in my heart for those small, spunky dogs.
I spend most of my free time with family and friends. I spend lots of time with my little dog going on walks and playing ball. My favorite thing is spending a sunny day outside with a book & Ms. Millie (my dog).

Caitlyn
Caitlyn joined Apple Valley in the fall of 2021. She graduated from Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, with a BA in Biology and a minor in Music. After graduating in 2015, Caitlyn found her way into the Veterinary field as a kennel assistant, and gradually took part in mutiple aspects of working in a clinic; she worked reception for several years and eventually trained to be a veterinary assistant.
Caitlyn has one cat, Trooper, whom she adopted from her first clinic after bonding with him for almost 5 years while he was the clinic cat, joining the clines shortly after Caitlyn had started working there herself. Caitlyn enjoys singing, reading fantasy/sci-fi, watching k-dramas with her sister, and visiting her family as much as she can!

Jaelynn
Hello my name is Jaelynn. I’ve worked in the veterinary field for a few years and love it! I’ve learned so much and love that I get to apply my knowledge on a daily basis. I have a 2 years old dog at home named Ivy, and have fostered Several other pets as well. When I am not working, I enjoy long hikes with Ivy and traveling to new places, and trying new experiences.
