Jill
Registered Veterinary Technician/Medical Advocate
As a young child, Jill Baker’s parents marveled at how much animals were drawn to her. (The feeling was mutual, by the way.) Fast forward several years and that innate connection, along with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, led Jill to officially pursue a career in the veterinary industry.

In addition to adoring her patients, she also appreciates playing an integral role in the human animal bond. Helping people care for their furry family members is her lifelong passion!
While working toward her diploma in Veterinary Technology at the University of Guelph, Ridgetown Campus, Jill began her journey as a Client Care Representative at an integrative veterinary clinic. From there, she progressed to a Veterinary Assistant role before ultimately graduating with distinction in February 2021.
In her current role as a Vet Tech, Jill loves being a calm, comforting presence for animals who are often anxious and confused in the hospital setting. Educating clients on how best to care for their loved ones brings her great joy. A self-professed nerd through and through, Jill is always striving to learn new skills and expand her existing knowledge.
Currently, Jill resides just west of London with her beautiful and brilliant little boy, a watermelon-obsessed Golden Retriever named Jack, a sly cat named Max, who loves to steal food right off the plate, and a tarantula named Racy (a.k.a. ‘Ms. Piggy’ due to her voracious appetite).
In her spare time, Jill enjoys traveling, playing video games and walking with her son and Golden Retriever in the forest behind their home. She also loves to read and watch movies - especially anything scary. Jill’s greatest achievement thus far has been completing her education while simultaneously working and parenting through a pandemic.
