Our Team
Sabrina Woods RVT
I am one of the part time Registered Veterinary Technician here at Mountainview Animal Hospital. I graduated from the Veterinary Technician program at Seneca College in 2003, and have been working at Mountainview Animal Hospital since 2002. A Registered Veterinary Technician handles many of the same responsibilities in a veterinary clinic that nurses handle in a hospital. Some of my responsibilities include administering anesthetics, running laboratory tests, taking radiographs, nursing animals and client education. My favourite part of my job is being able to help and care for sick animals, and to watch our clients’ puppies and kittens grow into healthy adults. I enjoy working at Mountainview Animal Hospital for many reasons, but am extremely proud to work with doctors and staff who all share the same focus of patient and client care as I do.
I share my home with my husband Chris, our 3 children, and our two cats “Snappy” and “Kelso.

Helena Roberts
I am the full time animal attendant here at Mountainview Animal Hospital, and have been working here since July 2009. I love being apart of the team and learning something new everyday. I couldn’t ask to be in a better atmosphere, handling and caring for animals is something I really enjoy and meeting the clients and their pets. I have been brought up with many different animals from rodents, birds, cats and dogs. I currently live at home with my family and our two dogs Shreddie and Dolby.
Jennifer Van Luven
My name is Jennifer. I am the evening part-time receptionist at Mountainview Animal Hospital. I have a passion for animals and enjoy sharing my home with two dogs, seven cats, a rabbit, and a Guinea pig. I also foster animals, currently I am fostering two cats. During the day I work for the Peel District School Board with children with behavioural issue.
I am also blessed to have a husband, Jeff and a four year old daughter who also shares my passion for animals.
I look forward to meeting you and your pets.
Jenna Mathe
Hi my name is Jenna. I am the part time evening receptionist here at Mountainview Animal Hospital. I love being part of a team that has such a strong passion for animals, like I do. The best part of my job is how much I learn each day and all the different types of animals I get to meet on a daily basis (ie. cats, dogs, birds and rodents). At home, I have a little pomeranian named Henry that always keeps me on my feet, and a cat named Peaches that likes to play fetch.
Chantal Doorn
I am one of the part-time animal attendants at Mountainview Animal Hospital. I enjoy working with our team to care for our patients and boarders and I am excited to be constantly learning new knowledge involving the medical care of animals. I have always had a love and passion for animals and I was fortunate to grow up in the country surrounded by a variety of pets. My family and I currently have a rabbit, Chocolate, a cat, Olivia and two dogs, Dash and Bear. Dash is a labrador retriever and Bear is a golden retriever; they are full of energy and always encouraging everyone they meet to take time to play and have fun!
Tux
Tux came to us during the summer of 2010. He immediately made himself at home and took on the role of ‘court jester’. Tux is a non stop bundle of energy; he could replace the rabbit in the energizer battery commercials. If it is open, he jumps in it; if it is high, he climbs it; if you are reading it, he lies on it but only for a moment, then he attacks your pen; if it moves, he attacks it; and if it is alive, it should play with him. He has no sense of boundaries, so don’t be surprised if he walks right up to greet you and your pet as you walk in the front door. He is a constant source of entertainment and comic relief here at Mountainview Animal Hospital; we look forward to seeing what crazy things he will do next.
Nike
Nike was the resident cat at Mountainview Animal Hospital. She was adopted by Dr. Ewing in November 2001 and immediately made herself right at home. Her duties include eating, drinking, shedding, and occasionally vomiting a fur ball on Dr. Ewing’s desk and computer monitor. She was also responsible for providing entertaining stories for Dr. Ewing to write about in the newsletter. Her favourite part of the day was attempting to steal her human co-workers lunches; on a really good day she may manage to run off with a quarter chicken from Swiss Chalet. She was also working on a plot to re-program her automatic feeder to feed her more often.
Sadly, on Friday February 5, 2010, Nike lost her battle with cancer. Although she lived to be almost 16 years old, to the humans she leaves behind, it was not enough time. We thank her for the love, the cuddles, the purrs and all the moments she made us laugh. She will always hold a special place in our hearts and she will be forever missed.
