About Us
Kelly Hill, DVM, CHPV
Dr. Hill has always known she wanted to be a veterinarian. She graduated from Davidson College in North Carolina and then attended the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. She completed a small animal internship at the University of Missouri, followed by a small animal surgical internship at Affiliated Veterinary Specialists in Florida.
Dr. Hill began her career as an emergency veterinarian in Florida and Georgia and then moved to Maine to run the Animal Emergency Clinic in Lewiston, Maine.
She married a Mainer and moved south, where she worked as an emergency veterinarian in Portsmouth and at Maine Veterinary Medical Center in Scarborough. After 16 years in emergency medicine, she moved to general practice with the goal of having more family time and owning her own practice.

Dr. Hill’s training was traditional western veterinary medicine, but a cancer diagnosis in 2016 opened her eyes to integrative medicine and how lifestyle ultimately impacts health. Haven Veterinary Hospice and Senior Care was established to provide progressive integrative medical care to animals in the comfort of their homes.
Dr. Hill is proud to be one of a few hundred veterinarians worldwide with advanced training in veterinary hospice and palliative care. Her training incorporates many types of care, including but not limited to pain management, cold laser therapy, physical therapy, herbal medicine, and environmental enrichment.
Kelly lives in the farmlands of Kennebunk, Maine, with her husband Matt, three daughters, seven cats, four dogs, a parrot, and thirteen chickens.
