We’re excited to see you soon! Learn more about Charm City Veterinary Hospital‘s outstanding employees and the reasons we love what we do.

Dr. Kristin Karbonik Hannon

Veterinarian, Medical Director

Dr. Karbonik has a very honest and practical approach when it comes to taking care of her patients. She knows how important each pet is to its owner and works hard to ensure that she provides the best care possible to keep each pet healthy.

Dr. Karbonik has been practicing veterinary medicine in Maryland since July 2007, after graduating from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at VirginiaTech. Prior to pursuing a career in veterinary medicine, Dr. Karbonik earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematical Business from Wake Forest University.

Dr. Karbonik’s full-time residence is on Maryland’s eastern shore in a small town called Neavitt. There, she resides with her husband (Mike), her pug (Rick), and her tuxedo cat (Bob). She enjoys traveling, fishing, crabbing, boating, watching and playing sports, and hosting gatherings at the shore house with family and friends.

Dr. Jess Eavers

Veterinarian, Medical Director

After attending Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, I began practicing veterinary medicine and have continued to do so since 2004. I pride myself on being able to establish good relationships with clients by having strong communication skills and empathy. This allows me to provide excellent care for their pets.

In my spare time, I’ll be kickboxing, traveling, cooking, skiing, and cheering for the Baltimore Ravens.

Sheila Nocar

Veterinary Technician

Originally from Maryland, Sheila now lives in Pennsylvania with her family. She is lucky to count four grown children, fourteen grandchildren & 5 dogs as part of her family! She has worked in veterinary medicine for 43 years. Her first pet was a pup named Taffy, a little mixed breed, who sparked her love for animal care. At CCVH, she is affectionately known as the “Cookie Lady” by our clients. Our puppy friends will even meet her on the street out front while walking by & make a bee line for her because she always sports a pocket (or fanny pack) full of yummy goodies. Outside of work, she enjoys family time with her grandbabies & swimming.

Rosie Transparenti
Customer Service Representative

Rosie grew up working in the restaurant business, but knew she needed a change. At the age of 18 she applied for countless jobs in the pet industry and landed a position at a dog daycare, where she eventually worked her way up to manager. She then went on to work in holistic pet retail & food, and dog walking. After moving back to her home city of Baltimore in 2021, she decided to apply for jobs in the veterinary field, where she has now worked as a veterinary assistant and receptionist. She considers herself a “single mother of 3 boys”, the three boys being her cats, Gunther and Scraps, along with her 6 lbs. chihuahua named Manny. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, dancing, karaoke, playing video games, and going out to see live music with friends.

Arrrrnold

Hospital Supervisor/Pirate King

Arrrrnold is the real supervisor of CCVH. He is our clinic kitty, who has been with us for nearly ten years since he was a young man. Arnold is missing a rear paw, and we think he was likely born this way, but don’t worry- it has never slowed him down for a single minute! Arrrrnold is our resident love bug, always keen to give snuggles to anyone who needs them. You can usually find him in one of his many cat trees, overseeing our day-to-day operations.
