Jennifer Leasure
Veterinary Technician
Growing up I was so blessed to have a mom who nurtured my love of animals by allowing me to have many different pets. I graduated from University of Maine Augusta with a degree in Animal Medical Technology in 2000. I love my job as a veterinary technician and I can’t imagine doing anything else. Currently, my household consists of my son and 4 cats. My motto is that there is always room for one more! Jennifer has been a veterinary technician with Lake Region Animal Hospital since 2010.

Sara has always been an animal lover and has many pets including a dog named Dexter, a horse named Romley, Winston the Sun Conure bird, and 3 turtles!
When she is not caring for her animals you can usually find her reading books, travelling, baking or watching movies. She is also very handy to have around since she has a great aptitude for fixing things!
Nick Barnes
Veterinary Assistant
Nick is a Veterinary Assistant that joined our staff in July 2021. Growing up he was the first to volunteer to help take care of a neighbor’s animals, from cats and dogs to sheep and lizards he loves them all! That love for animals eventually transitioned into the professional world as a kennel assistant and manager at local boarding facilities, finally finding a new love in veterinary care. If he isn't spending time caring for animals you will find him out on the water fishing, at home watching sports, or relaxing with some video games. Currently Nick has three dogs and a hedgehog at home, but there is always room for more! Just don’t tell his wife.

Our Front Desk Staff
Eve Ladd
Receptionist/Veterinary Assistant
My husband, Peter and I moved to Maine from Arizona 20 years ago with trailer in tow, 5 dogs, 6 cats and 2 horses. I never thought I would fall in love with Maine, but the people of Maine changed my mind very quickly.
I was lucky to land my position at Lake Region Animal Hospital where I joined an amazing group of co-workers. I may be a little slanted, but I do believe we have some of the finest clients an establishment such as ours could hope to have. It is an honor to get to know each and every one of them, as well as their beautiful 4-legged children.
