MEET OUR TEAM

Dr. Rebecca Ritchie

BSc, DVM

 If you had asked me at 10 years old what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have told you that I wanted to be an engineer. Thankfully, I have changed since then, and life brought me other opportunities. It began with science, but it was living among different creatures at University that really captured my interest. After working with maple trees, gypsy moths and caribou, I found myself applying to vet school. I had considered returning to work with wildlife, but I was captivated by small animal medicine and surgery—so here I am!

Dr. Marcus Litman

BSc, DVM

I grew up on a hobby farm near Paris Ontario and attended the Ontario Veterinary College, graduating in 2000. After spending a few years in small animal practice in Hamilton, Ontario I took a position as a Laboratory Animal Veterinarian at the University of Guelph where I worked for 20 years. I currently works as a locum Veterinarian at three different small animal clinics in southern Ontario and resides near Brantford Ontario with my wife, two teenage sons and two cats, Benny and Gizmo.

Registered Veterinary Technician

Hospital Manager

Shortly after finishing university I worked at a therapeutic riding center for individuals with disabilities. I became more and more involved in the health care and management of our herd, and one day had the opportunity to see a minor surgery on one of the horses. At first, I didn’t think I would be able to watch, but I was unable to peel my eyes away! When I left this position, I started looking for other jobs that were animal-related.

I had always thought that the only way to work in a vet clinic was as the vet, and had no idea there were “nurses” in the clinic as well. Medicine interested me, but human medicine had no appeal – the more research I did, the more I realized that being a vet tech was the perfect fit for me. I wanted to be involved with the care of animals and work to make their lives better each day.

I went back to school for the Veterinary Technician Program in 2011, and did one of my co-ops at our sister clinic Caledon Mountain Veterinary Hospital. I thought that when I graduated I would naturally head back into the horse world, but I loved working with dogs and cats and never left!

Kiara

Registered Veterinary Technician

Growing up with a Veterinary Technician mom, I was always surrounded by animals, and from a young age, I knew this was the path for me. In 2022, I graduated from Seneca College with a diploma in Veterinary Technology, where I gained a solid foundation in animal care—and discovered just how much I love helping pets thrive.

I have a soft spot for senior pets and enjoy working with older animals to ensure they have the best quality of life. I also use fear-free techniques to make every visit as stress-free as possible for pets and their owners, creating a positive experience for everyone involved. Emergency and critical care are areas I feel especially passionate about, and I find it incredibly rewarding to support families through tough situations.

When I’m not at work, I’m spending time with my own little zoo - two dogs (Maggie and Sydney) and a cat (Bean). I love being outdoors, whether it’s camping, paddle-boarding, or curling up with a good book in my hammock. Music is another big part of my life, and I enjoy playing the piano and violin whenever I get the chance.
