Jennifer

Jennifer

My name is Jennifer, I have been been a Receptionist at Mountainview Animal Hospital for many years. I have a passion for animals and enjoy sharing my home with my dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs and birds. I refer to it as my happy zoo!

I am also blessed to share my passion of animals with my two beautiful daughters and my husband. I look forward to meeting you and your pets.

Sheila

I am one of the Registered Veterinary Technicians at Mountainview Animal Hospital. I worked for many years as a Registered Veterinary Technician before taking time off to raise our daughter. I have been lucky to return to the veterinary world to work with such a fantastic team at Mountainview Animal Hospital. Over the years, I have developed a passion for senior care and anesthesia.

I share my home with my husband Mark, our daughter Jess, our dogs Ben and Ellie, and our cat Nemo.

I look forward to helping take great care of your pets.

Sabrina

Sabrina Woods RVT

My name is Sabrina. I have a long history with Mountainview Animal Hospital. Since 2003, I have worked here in a variety of roles, and have loved all of them! From an Animal Care Attendant, to a Registered Veterinary Technician, then to Hospital Manager, and currently I work as an office administrator. Each position has allowed me to share my passion for animal care with such a loving and dedicated team.

I have always had a love for animals and have been so lucky to work with so many special furry friends throughout my career.

I share my home with my husband, our three kids, and our two cats Wesley and Chester.

Helena

My name is Helena, and I’m the Social Media Coordinator here at Mountainview Animal Hospital.
I first joined the MVAH family back in 2009 as an Animal Care Attendant and then Client Care Attendant. I took a step back in 2017 to go on maternity leave. Over the past eight years, I’ve been at home raising my two children and supporting our family business — but I’m so excited to be back with the incredible team here, who I’ve truly missed! Being back, I couldn’t be more excited to reconnect with the community and continue to bring our story to life online — sharing updates, behind-the-scenes moments, and all the cute and cuddly content that makes MVAH so special.

I share my home with my husband Tom, our two kids Greyson and Brinley, and our two loving (and very entertaining) cats, Peeps and Cheeto.

Bethanie

Hi, my name is Bethanie and I am one of the Registered Veterinary Technicians at Mountainview Animal Hospital. I have had a deep love of animals for as long as I can remember and always knew I wanted to work with them when I grew up. One thing I love about being an RVT is being able to use my skills to help improve pets lives.

When I’m not working, you can find me outside hiking or camping with my dog Shasta or reading with my cats Azula and Onyx curled up beside me.

Serena

I knew from a young age that I loved animals and wanted to help make their lives better in any way I could. I was always interested in nursing, so becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) was a perfect fit for me. I started as a receptionist/ACA and then graduated from college as an RVT in 2015. I’ve been enjoying working with pets and their families since and couldn’t think of anything more rewarding.

When not in the clinic, you can find me hanging out at home with my quirky cats Miss America and Trent.

Melissa

Hi! My name is Melissa and I am one of the Veterinary Technicians at Mountainview Animal Hospital. My love and passion for animals has been prevalent my entire life, and I am so excited to share it with the wonderful team at this clinic!

While I was in school, my favourite subjects to learn about were parasitology and nutrition! Parasitology is fascinating because it reveals the invisible battles happening within our pets! While nutrition opened my eyes to how diet is crucial for good health and for disease prevention.

When I’m not at the clinic, I’m typically out enjoying nature or curled up at home with my senior pup Brandy.

Kim

While I love all animals, I especially LOVE cats.

One of the things I love most about being an Animal Care Attendant here at Mountainview is it allows me to work closely with animals every single day. I really enjoy assisting with our patients during their visits and especially love caring for our boarding cats and dogs. Outside of working at the clinic I spend my time painting, creating artwork, reading and hanging with my cat Xander!

Emily

Hello, my name is Emily. I am one of the Receptionist at Mountainview Animal Hospital. As a quieter person, I love the way animals can bring people together. You will find me behind the desk ready to answer your calls, greet you and your furry friends when you come in, or answering any questions you may have.

I am blessed to have a job that lets me help people and animals in my own quiet way.

Stacy

My name is Stacy and I’m an Animal Care Attendant here at Mountainview Animal Hospital. After graduating from the Animal Care program at Durham College, I was quick to put my skills to work in the field. I love the time I get to spend with the animals and in contributing to their care.

More recently, I have gone back to college to become a Registered Veterinary Technician. You might find me back at Mountainview Animal Hospital from time to time to fill in a shift.

When I’m not studying or working, I can either be found hiking or reading. I share my life with my dog Captain, Tricks the cat and Chocolate the rabbit.

Danielle

Hi everyone! My name is Danielle and I am an animal attendant at Mountainview Animal Hospital. I have always loved animals and am so excited to be working with such an amazing and dedicated team. I joined the team in 2017, and my goal is to become a veterinarian. I thoroughly enjoy meeting all of our patients and ensuring I do whatever is needed to make their time with us the best experience it can be.

I share my house with some furry family members – 3 cats (Roxy, Gracie and Mickey), a dog (Frisky) a hamster (Hammie) and one fish (Fishy) – they keep me busy! In my spare time, I ride and jump a very handsome horse named Liam that has an incredible knack for posing for the camera, and volunteer at Waves Special Olympics here in Georgetown. Large animals or small, I love them all!

Congratulate me, I just got into the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program at the University of Edinburgh!

Lindsay

I love all things animals and children. Growing up with a variety of pets, from reptiles and rodents to dogs and cats, set me on my first career path as a a full-time Veterinary Receptionist. After many years, I shifted to a part-time role (they can’t seem to get rid of me;) at Mountainview Animal Hospital to pursue my other passion, caring for children, as an Educational Assistant.

I currently share my home with my husband Trevor, my sons Connor and Brayden, my big goofy dog named Cooper, and my cat Elwood.

Tux

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.

Pixie

Pixie

Pixie is our resident bird here at Mountainview Animal Hospital. She has been with us for a few years. Pixie loves to play with all her toys and loves to sing. If your lucky she may sing to you next time you are in our waiting room.

On Thursday June 4th 2020, our Pixie passed away. Pixie loved it when clients would talk to her. She would tilt her head, listen intently and squawk back. While her chatter was not particularly lyrical, the silence without her is deafening. We will miss our Pixie.

Nike

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.
