Meet the Veterinarians & Team of Williamsburg Veterinary Hospital in Kitchener, ON. We’re pleased to provide exceptional vet care for your pets.

Please call us at 519-571-7221 to speak to one of our caring veterinary staff members!

After completing her Bachelor of Science from the University of Guelph, Dr. Anne graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1998. She established the Williamsburg Veterinary Hospital in 2005. Although she enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine, her special interests include Internal Medicine, Pain Management and Behaviour. Her pets include Inigo Montoya and Pietro Maximoff, two cats who are brothers (despite not looking at all similar!). When not at the clinic, Dr. Anne enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, as well as reading and playing Scrabble.

Dr. Angela graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2007 and joined the team at WVH in 2020, becoming business partners with Dr. Anne in 2021. Angela enjoys all aspects of being a veterinarian and loves to work with pets and their owners to strengthen the human animal bond.  She has a special interest in Surgery, Dentistry, and Preventative Medicine. Her pets are two cats, Jackson, and Johnny Cash.  When Dr. Angela is not working, she is busy with her two children and loves spending time outdoors.

After her undergraduate degree, Dr. Steph went on to complete a Master of Science in Biomedical Science at the University of Guelph in 2011. She completed her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree at the Ontario Veterinary College in 2017 and joined our team shortly thereafter. She has a special interest in Ophthalmology, Neurology, and Internal Medicine. She shares her home with her three dogs, Bradley (a Cockapoo) & Ruby (a Golden Retriever), and Gracie (a street dog from Ecuador), as well as her one-eyed rescue cat, Lily, and her super sweet and cuddly cat Billy. Outside of work, Dr. Steph enjoys biking, cooking, going to the gym and going on adventures with her fiancé Matt.

After completing her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Waterloo, Dr. Jaclyn graduated from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2020, spending her clinical year at the University of Wisconsin.  Dr. Jaclyn loves to help keep the human animal bond healthy with preventative medicine and also has a special interest in internal medicine.

She enjoys spending her time outside of work hiking, painting, and doing projects around the house.  She shares her home with her fiancé, and their Bernedoodle, Moose.

After completing a B.A in Psychology at the University of Guelph, Dayna originally planned to work with children, but changed her mind when she learned she could work with animals as a Veterinary Technician.    Dayna graduated from Seneca College in 1998, becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician that same year.  In addition to her role as an RVT, Dayna is the Hospital Manager. She has been with the WVH team since the hospital opened in 2005!

Her special interests are client relations, hands-on technical skills, and providing in-hospital care to our patients. She also holds a special place in her heart for the unhappy feline visitors and works hard to make their experience as stress-free as possible. She is a Fear Free Certified Professional and aims to help our hospital continue to develop new strategies and protocols to reduce the fear, anxiety and stress in our visiting pets and improve the experience of the clients, pets, and our team members too!    

Dayna shares her home with Otis and Ruby.   Her cat Otis was supposed to be a temporary houseguest…but quickly won over Dayna’s heart with his very sweet & affectionate nature with people and his amazing purr…despite how grumpy his face looks all the time!   Her newest addition Ruby is an adorable miniature Australian Shepherd/Poodle cross, who warms the hearts of everyone she meets with her lovable personality.  Otis is not quite as charmed by her as the rest of us but is getting used to sharing his space with her.   Though he makes it clear that he will always be the boss of the house!    

After completing a Bachelor of Science in Animal Biology at the University of Guelph, Jenny continued her education at U of G and completed the diploma of Veterinary Technology at the Ridgetown Campus. She became a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) in 2017 after successful completion of the Veterinary Technician National Examination.

Jenny has loved animals her whole life – and has worked with both large and small animals before joining our team at Williamsburg Veterinary Hospital in 2017. She enjoys all aspects of her role as an RVT but is especially interested in surgery and anesthesia. Jenny has a calm and caring demeanor – and can put even our nervous patients more at ease!

Jenny has a menagerie of pets at home! Her pets include a dog named Skye (a Husky), two cats (Dot & Sven) and two Guinea Pigs (Jekyll and Hyde).

Michaela graduated from the Veterinary Technician program at Georgian College in 2018. She completed the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE) later that year, successfully becoming an RVT.  She joined our team at Williamsburg Veterinary Hospital in 2019. Throughout her schooling and placements Michaela has developed a special interest in surgery and anesthesia.  Her dedication and love for her patients comes naturally and is genuinely shown in every interaction. 

Michaela has recently become a Fear Free Certified Professional.   With this knowledge, she helps to reduce the fear, anxiety and stress some pets feel while visiting the veterinary hospital to create an overall more positive experience for our furry friends.   

Currently the furry members of her family include two cats:  Ruby – a not-so-smart, but very lovable kitty and Merlin, who is deaf and full of mischief!

Laura joined our team in 2009. She enjoys interacting with clients and keeping the reception area organized and running smoothly. Laura is a true “mom” and keeps a close eye on all the staff, ensuring we are doing okay, and even providing homemade treats on occasion! She took a special interest in our clinic cats Lou Lou & Misha (who have both sadly passed) and was especially close to our dear clinic kitty Josie who passed away in 2012.

In recent years with our growing team, Laura has taken on the role of training our new staff members at reception and with hospital protocols to help maintain our high level of client care.   

She has a lovely big cat at home: Nick was surrendered to the Kitchener Waterloo Humane Society in 2019, and shortly thereafter joined Laura and her family in their home.  Unfortunately, Nick was not available on the day of our staff photos but has provided his own picture so everyone can see how handsome and sweet he is.  

In Laura’s spare time, she loves crafting, and the results are incredible!

Holly joined our reception team in 2022, and she says she has never been happier.  We will often hear her say “I love my job so much!”   Her favourite part is getting to interact with all the clients and seeing how much everyone loves and cares for their pets.   

In her spare time, you can find her hibernating while watching some reality TV in the winter, and in the summer, she will be at the beach with yummy snacks.  

She is a fur mama to the best little Long Coat Chihuahua named Winnie who owns her heart!

Holly looks forward to continuing to build bonds at Williamsburg Veterinary Hospital and laughing with all our awesome clients.   Laughter is medicine!

Kristina has worked in the veterinary industry for seven years but has been an animal lover her whole life and grew up always having pets in the home. She joined the Williamsburg team in 2023, after a few years of working in the veterinary emergency and specialty field. Although she truly loves all aspects of the job, she has special interests in surgery, fear free practices, clinic organization, and most special of all… snuggling the cute pets! When Kristina is not working in-clinic, she is running her own business as a visual artist, making music with her fiancé, and spending time with her two kitties Bob and Lloyd!

Sofia joined the WVH team this year after moving back to Canada with her family all the way from England. After successfully completing a 2-year course in Animal Management in England, her interest in the veterinary world was sparked and she worked in an animal hospital there before coming back to Kitchener. Sofia is full of curiosity and is excited about learning new things while at work. She has a special interest in canine behaviour & training, and would enjoy studying this in the future. As of right now, she has two fish at home, but once she and her family feel more settled back in Canada, Sofia would love to welcome a dog into her life.

Cathie has worked at veterinary hospitals for many years. She initially volunteered at Williamsburg Veterinary Hospital when we opened in 2005, and then was offered an official position in 2007, and has been with us ever since. Known as the resident “cat whisperer,” she is renowned for her calming effect on our feline visitors.

Cathie shares her home with Millie, who enjoys “helping” with puzzles (meaning laying in the middle of one or playing with the pieces).

Lou Lou was surrendered to the Williamsburg Veterinary Hospital in 2005. She quickly became an integral part of our hospital team, providing lots of purring and the occasional crazy run through the treatment area to keep us laughing. Lou Lou was a character, often cuddling up with her best buddy Adelaide (Dayna’s dog), and “helping” the staff members by walking on their keyboards while they were working. Lou Lou loved dogs and kids — she would sometimes make her way to the reception area when she heard kids playing.   She was a very special part of our lives and is dearly missed.

Misha was surrendered to the Williamsburg Veterinary Hospital in 2018. Our intention was to make sure she was healthy and then find her a forever home, but we all quickly fell in love with her and decided her forever home was with us!  She was quick to greet clients at the reception desk, when not snoozing contently on her bed or in the cat tree by the window.  She will always be remembered and has a special place in our hearts.

Josie was one of our clinic cats for over 4 years. Sadly, in October of 2012 she became very ill, and we had to say goodbye.
She is our “microchip failure story.” She was brought to the Williamsburg Veterinary Hospital as a stray, and as is our policy, we scanned her for a microchip. We were thrilled to see she had one, and told the Good Samaritans who brought her in that we would reunite her with her family. Unfortunately, the people who had microchipped Josie did not register their address or phone number with the microchip facility. We traced her microchip back and found that she had originally been adopted from the humane society 6 years prior at about 3 years of age. After a long, unsuccessful search for her owner, we decided that Josie would live with us.
Josie spent most of her time sleeping at the front desk or on top of the shelves in the pharmacy and became well known to our clients visiting the clinic. She was a true delight, always willing to share a purr and a head bump. She is still remembered fondly by our staff members who knew and loved her!
