What Makes EastOver Different
We’re not your average vet clinic. We take more time with each patient, offer complete transparency in our treatment rooms, and give our full attention to both pets and their people. As a family-owned practice, we treat every visit like we’re caring for one of our own.
Here’s what makes us different:
- Longer appointments for thorough, unhurried care
- Transparent treatment and exam rooms so you can see every step
- Same-day appointments reserved for urgent needs
- In-room checkout for a smoother, stress-free visit
- Specially designed spaces for reactive or anxious pets
- A calming, modern facility that puts everyone at ease
- Convenient location for Woodbine, Mount Airy, Glenwood, and Sykesville
We can’t wait to welcome you and your pet into our clinic family.

Meet Dr. Jake Hiller
With more than 20 years of hands-on veterinary experience, Dr. Jake Hiller — founder of EastOver Vet and your pet’s new best friend — is known for his calm, thoughtful care and compassionate approach. He listens, explains, and always puts your pet first.
Growing up on his family’s cranberry, dairy, and Clydesdale horse farm on the south coast of Massachusetts, Dr. Hiller developed both a strong work ethic and a lifelong passion for animals. His journey took him from UMass-Amherst, where he earned his degree in Pre-Veterinary Sciences, to the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, where he received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.
Over the years, Dr. Hiller has built deep expertise in surgery, dentistry, and internal medicine, as well as extensive experience in emergency, urgent care, and general practice. He is passionate about creating a calm, personal setting that supports pets — and their people — at every visit.
That vision inspired him and his wife, Sandy, to open EastOver Vet in the Woodbine community they now call home. They’re excited to welcome you and your pets into a space where high-quality medicine and genuine compassion go hand in hand.
Meet Sandy Carter-Hiller, Co-Founder/Bus. Dir.
Co-Founder and Business Director of EastOver Vet, Sandy brings extensive experience in veterinary sales and start-ups to the practice. She began her career at an animal clinic in Pennsylvania while completing post-baccalaureate courses, quickly discovering her passion for the industry. In 2008, her career brought her to Maryland, and in 2018 she met Dr. Hiller at a veterinary conference, where they shared a vision for creating a hospital that blends exceptional medicine with an outstanding client experience. Today, she oversees operations, ensuring EastOver Vet runs smoothly and efficiently behind the scenes.
