About Us


Dr. Jay Taylor

Dr. Taylor, our pet doctor, has been a proud resident of the Outer Banks for almost 6 years. He is originally from Steele, a small town in rural southeast Missouri. While in school to become a veterinarian, he learned how to surf and discovered the Outer Banks. After graduating from veterinary school, he loaded up a U-haul and headed to Kitty Hawk. Dr. Taylor practiced veterinary medicine on the beach for 3 years, then made a transition to emergency veterinary medicine. After being an emergency vet for 2+ years and commuting to Virginia, he opened the Outer Banks Veterinary Hospital in August 2010.

Outside of the hospital, Dr. Taylor enjoys surfing, sailing, and just about anything else that gets him into the water. He currently resides in Kill Devil Hills with his wife, Jessica.  They just had a new baby girl, Emma Sylvia Taylor on New Year’s Day!!!   See some pictures below.

Kayleigh Graves

Kayleigh is a true Outer Banks native who grew up in Wanchese. After graduating from Manteo High School, she moved to the mountains of North Carolina for a few years but could not stand to be away from our lovely beaches and warmer climate. Her husband, John Graves, is also a local who is the director of the S.P.C.A. Animal Shelter in Elizabeth City. She is the proud mom of several four-legged children: Taganov, Ava, Lucy, Murphy, Ruckus, Boo, Dudley, Eleanor, and Pete.

Stacey, Kayleigh, and the pooches!

Stacey joined the Outer Banks Vet Hospital May of 2011 to continue to follow my passion for helping animals. She has been working in the animal care industry for twelve years now and enjoy being able to help people and their companions receive quality healthcare.
In her spare time, she enjoys spending time at the beach or on the boat with my husband and eleven year old daughter. She also enjoys spending her down time walking on the beach with Britches, her goofy boxer, and her loyal sidekick Dora, the Chihuahua (who has her own fan club).
