Meredith Mattingly
Veterinary
I have been working at Reynolds Road Animal Clinic Assistant since March 2018, but I have been a Veterinary Assistant since May 2005. I’ve been married since 2004, and I have one son who loves animals as much as I do. I have two dogs, Clementine and Leela, and one cat named Mr. Weasley. I also participate in foster and rehab programs when needed.
I love working in the veterinary field, and I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life! I love to sing, spend time outdoors whenever possible, and a good scary movie marathon. My favorite part of my job is being able to be a voice for the animals. I come to work every day hoping that when I leave, I’ve made a difference for someone.
Sametta Lindsay
Receptionist/HR
My name is Sametta & I began working at Reynolds Road Animal Clinic in December 2017. I am very proud of my 3 grown children & enjoy being “Nana” to my 7 grandchildren aged 5 to 27. I welcomed my first great-grandchild, a little girl, in June 2022. My animal family (all rescues) consists of 2 fat cats, and recently adopted a black kitten who keeps us all on our toes.
Growing up on a farm in Kansas gave me the opportunity to work with many kinds of animals and that’s when I decided I wanted to become a veterinarian. At the age of 14 I began working at vet clinics, volunteering at shelters and became a docent at Rolling Hills zoo as well as the Sunset Zoo.
I went to KSU veterinary school and graduated in 2008 with a husband and 2 kids in tow. My husband’s job transferred us to Arkansas 15 years ago where we love to hike, boat and enjoy the many outdoor activities this state has to offer. I love small animal private practice and emergency medicine and look forward to taking care your fur babies.

I enjoy reading and watching Harry Potter with my husband. I have always loved animals and I love being able to help them in any way I can!
Shauna Smith
Receptionist/Office Manager
I am married to a great man that supports me in all that I do. We have a little boy that I believe has my love for animals. He loves going to the pet stores to look at fish, turtles, lizards, and spiders. We have 3 dogs at home, a Chihuahua, Boston Terrier, and a French Bulldog. As well as 2 birds, Meyers Parrot and Lilac Crowned Amazon.
I started working at Reynolds Road Animal Clinic as a Vet Assistant right out of high school back in 1998. I have also worked at the Animal ER Clinic, that was a next level kind of learning in animal care. I have been at this clinic for so long that it feels like home to me. I take so much care and have so much love for all of our customers and patients that I just don’t see myself anywhere else.

Kassadie Havniear
Veterinary Assistant
I have been in vet medicine since 2018. I have wanted to be able to help with animals since before I can remember. I am so happy and blessed I have the opportunity to work in general practice and emergency veterinary medicine. During my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also have two fur babies of my own. Sadie is a black Labrador Retriever and Renesmee is my rescued baby and we believe her to be a Labrador mix.
