Tova Bopp is the owner of Mt. Airy Animal Hospital. She is a registered veterinary technician and has been managing the practice since 2006. Aside from her time here at the animal hospital, Tova likes to spend time with her family, 3 children and her fur babies.

I was born and raised in Maryland, and am fortunate to have a large and supportive family. I have always appreciated the unconditional love that our animal companions provide. I remember the day that it first occurred to me that I could be a veterinarian. I was in high school and was feeling helpless that our family’s geriatric dog seemed to be struggling. I try to be the kind of veterinarian that I wish my family had back then.

While earning my bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the University of Maryland, I worked as a veterinary assistant. I was fortunate to work with several veterinarians who were dedicated, smart and willing to share their knowledge. The experience fortified my motivation to join this amazing profession. I am constantly striving to improve my understanding of individuals who can’t verbalize when they are afraid or feel pain. I feel that we have a great responsibility to our animal friends that give us so much.

I attended veterinary school at the University of Pennsylvania, from which I graduated in 2004. Since then, I have used my training and education to effect positive change in the lives of my patients during times of illness and help to maintain and celebrate their health during times of wellness.

I truly enjoyed the time that I spent as an associate veterinarian at Mt. Airy Animal Hospital over a decade ago. Since then, I have had the privilege of working with many talented veterinary teams from whom I have learned so much. I am excited to join the team again as medical director and look forward to getting to know the extended MAAH family.

Liz has been a part of our team since 2008. Liz is always ready to do whatever she can to help you and your pets in their time of need. When she is not at work, Liz enjoys attending her kids sporting events; football, softball and basketball. She also has a passion for DIY home improvement and renovation.

Lizzy started out her veterinary career in 2009 working at a practice established by her late grandfather in Carney Md. She grew up with a strong passion for animals, collecting many of her own as well as being an avid horseback rider. She joined our team in early 2015 and has been a great addition to our hospital. She enjoys spending time with her family, 3 dogs Manny, Leroy, and Half Cup. She rescued her kittens Mini Megalon and Triceratops through our adoption program. She loves being hands on in surgery, and particularly enjoys our kitten adoption program.

Mara has been in the Veterinary Medicine Fields for 8 years. She is excited to be working towards her Veterinary Nursing Degree at Purdue University!
