Our Veterinary Team

Dr. Margaret Sidells is a passionate and skilled veterinarian who graduated from the prestigious University of California, Davis in 2018. With almost five years of experience under her belt, she has become an expert in feline medicine, surgery, Fear Free practices, and pain management. Dr. Sidells prides herself on making visits to the vet a positive experience for all parties involved, including pets, clients, doctors, and technicians, by implementing Fear Free techniques and emphasizing clear communication with clients. In her free time, Dr. Sidells enjoys cooking, traveling, and taking motorcycle rides. She recently returned from a trip to Egypt and Jordan. One fun fact about Dr. Sidells is that she moved from the California Bay Area to Portland for the rain and blueberries. At home, she shares her life with three cats named Ben, Bames, and Gimme, whom she trained to shake paws for a cookie treat.

Dr. Amanda Denninger recently returned to Oregon after several years practicing urgent care medicine in New York. While she cherishes her time in the city, she is thrilled to be back in the Pacific Northwest, ready to explore all that it has to offer. A 2020 graduate of Oregon State University, Dr. Denninger has a special interest in cardiology, dentistry, and endocrine diseases.

At home, she shares her life with a Jack Russell Terrier, a cat, and her energetic two-year-old, who has already traveled to 11 countries. When she’s not caring for her furry patients, Dr. Denninger enjoys running, traveling with her family, and dreaming of competing in her first triathlon this year. While she loves food, cooking is not her forte—she prefers to leave that to the experts.

Dr. Denninger is excited to bring her expertise and passion for veterinary medicine to the community and looks forward to meeting you and your pets.

Jen is a highly skilled veterinary assistant with a passion for animal care and wellness. With an impressive 10 years of experience in the field of veterinary medicine, she brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our team.

When Jen is not assisting our veterinarians and providing compassionate care to our furry patients, she enjoys spending quality time with her loving family. She has two adorable cats named Ophelia and Nic, who are cherished members of their household. 

Outside of work, Jen leads an active and adventurous lifestyle. She enjoys playing and coaching soccer.  Exploring nature’s beauty is another passion of hers, and she frequently embarks on hiking adventures to unwind and reconnect with the great outdoors.

Jen’s creative side shines through her hobbies, as she enjoys crafting macrame plant holders and wall hangings. She finds solace in the intricate patterns and the meditative process of creating unique pieces. Moreover, she loves traveling with her family, seizing every opportunity to explore new places, cultures, and experiences.

Jen’s dedication to the well-being of animals, combined with her diverse interests and warm personality, make her an invaluable asset to our veterinary team. Her commitment to exceptional patient care and genuine compassion is evident in all her interactions, and she continually strives to make a positive impact in the lives of both pets and their owners.

Sarah began her journey with City Pets Vet four years ago as a kennel technician and has since grown into an incredible veterinary assistant. Her dedication and compassion have made her an invaluable part of our team. Sarah has a special soft spot for feline friends and brings gentle, attentive care to every patient she works with.

At home, she enjoys the company of her two beloved cats, Colette and Finn. When she’s not at the clinic, you can often find her working on a puzzle or exploring local estate sales in search of hidden treasures.
