OWNER/OPerATOR/VET TECHNICIAN

Veronica “V” Oggy

Ever since I was little I have always had an undeniable love and passion for animals. This motivated me to study hard and graduate from the Georgian College Veterinary Technician program. In 2011, I went on to successfully write the National Veterinary Technician Exam. After working many years as an RVT in vet clinics around the GTA, I was inspired to start Vet Tech Services to help provide pet care in the comfort of people's homes. My team and I are especially happy to be able to accommodate the elderly and those with disabilities that often have difficulty taking their pet out of their home for basic care or regular Vet visits . I am so grateful to be able to do what I love most, helping people and animals.

OFFICE MANAGER/ RECEPTIONIST

Brittany Coleman

All of my life I have had tremendous love and passion for animals and their wellbeing. I have had many pets in my life ranging from Dogs, Cats, Hamsters, a Rabbit, a Bearded Dragon, and Fish. Currently I have a Labradoodle named Falloe, who is my side kick and always following me where ever I go. I have known V (Veronica) for about 10 years now; we were roommates while in university and became best friends instantly. I am so excited to be a new member of Monarch Vet Tech Services. Helping V and her Team out with accounting and booking Appointments is an exciting and new career change I am looking forward to.

Vet Technician/Registered Lab Animal Technician

Chandra Brown

Hello, I'm Chandra :)

Similar to so many young children, I grew up loving animals and wanting to work with them. I would "rescue" hurt birds and wildlife as a kid - I would bring them in the house to nurture them until my parents found out, and inevitably called animal services 🙈. This led to my interest in the veterinary technician program, which I attended at Georgian College and graduated from in 2016. I wrote and passed the VTNE, and continued my education in animal welfare and ethics. I have been an RLAT since 2020.

I have a soft spot for pocket pets, as I grew up with hamsters and degus, and worked in small animal research for over 7 years. I also have experience in general practice, large animal/equine medicine, emergency medicine, and shelter care.

I enjoy the challenge of "spicy" pets (I may be known as the Cat Whisperer). I also love meeting all the interesting pets and people of Toronto, and providing in-home client education and services.

Outside of work, you can find me hiking in the woods with my 4 year old rescue beagle, Cleo, as we look for birds, or curled up on the couch with a good book/show and cup of coffee ❤️

RVT/Veterinary Technician / Canine Rehab Practitioner In training

Lydia Varga

Ever since I was little I’ve loved animals and knew from a young age that my life path would involve animals in some way. I was always helping any injured wild animals and any strays that crossed my path.

In 2017 I graduated from Northern College’s Veterinary Technology - Wildlife Rehab program, and I became registered with the OAVT that same year. Since 2021 I have also been working towards becoming a Certified Canine Rehab Practitioner through the University of Tennessee, and hope to finish the program in the next couple of years. I have always particularly loved geriatric animals, which is one reason that I gained a strong interest in the physical rehab side of veterinary medicine.

Currently I have two pets in my life, my dog Roxy and cat Abaddon. Roxy was one of the colony animals during my first year of college and she quickly stole my heart, and I knew soon after meeting her that she would be coming home with me at the end of the school year. Ever since we have been attached at the hip!

I am very excited to be part of the Monarch team and to have the chance to meet all your furry family members.

Tiffany Wilson

Growing up my sister and I had the honor and privilege to own and show horses, and to own many cats, dogs, goats, fish, pet rats and hamsters. We learned from a young age how to care for these animals and how amazing the therapeutic powers of these creatures can be.

When I'm not out working with your fur babies, you can find me out on a lake fishing with my fiance Sean and spending time with our silly Red Fox Lab Rescue Bentley, or cuddling up watching a movie with my 21 year old Domestic long hair Scratches.

My passion in life as a veterinary technician is providing compassionate care for all animals.

Having been in the field for over 8 years as a veterinary technician, I have learned new ways to make every experience comfortable and safe for your pet.

I am beyond excited to be a part of a beautiful team at Monarch, and cannot wait to see what the future has in store!

Zoë Rodney

Hi there, I’m Zoë.

I ride a Harley and am an undergraduate student at York university, currently working my way towards going to veterinarian college in the near future. Aside from that I am also a singer/song writer (I play a little bass and the didgeridoo too).

For as long as I can remember animals have been my passion. Throughout the years I have had the pleasure of working with all species such as; Canines, Felines, Equines, Reptiles, Rodents etc. This required that I learn the different temperaments of different species, how to care for them properly and how to correctly handle them. In addition to working with animals, I also had the great honour of having many pets of my own to come home to, throughout my life. Some of these pets include; cats, dogs, a newt, a gecko, a snake, a bunny and a hedgehog. In the picture above you’ll see my current snuggle bugs Rip (the dog) and Ezra (the cat).
