Meet Our Millersville Veterinary Team

Mark Boback

Owner

With a degree in business management and administration combined with a passion for animals Mark decided to start Noah’s Ark. The company was established in 1996 and opened for business in 1998. Mark credits the business’ success to all the hard working, passionate, animal loving employees that have made us who we are today. Mark maintains the culture of a family business to attract and retain the best people available to provide optimal care to the pets.

Mark lives local, his home located right in Millersville. He lives with his dog, Cocoa, a chocolate Yorkie. Mark loves to spend his time outdoors. Travelling with his friends and going on fishing trips. He also enjoys maintaining historic cars. But none of that is comparable to the love he has for NAVBR, it’s employees and the pets!

Lawrence Eden, BVSc

Medical Director

Dr. Lawrence Eden earned his Bachelor of Veterinary Science from the University of Pretoria, South Africa, in 2008. He began his career practicing in Gaborone, Botswana, where he spent five years developing his skills in small animal medicine. After relocating from Southern Africa, he obtained his AVMA ECFVG certification in 2015, allowing him to continue his veterinary career in the United States.

Dr. Eden has since worked in a high-volume preventative care clinic in Washington, D.C., as well as two veterinary practices in Baltimore—one focused on mixed urgent and preventative care, and another emphasizing comprehensive patient care. His professional interests include soft tissue surgery and dentistry, and he is passionate about delivering high-quality medicine that prioritizes both the patient and client experience.

Now serving as Medical Director at Noah’s Ark Veterinary & Boarding Resort, Dr. Eden is excited to take on a leadership role, helping shape the practice’s medical standards and fostering a collaborative team environment dedicated to excellent patient care.

Outside of work, Dr. Eden lives in Baltimore with his wife, Chrissy, and their rotating crew of rescue and foster dogs. In his free time, he enjoys playing rugby and tennis, cheering on his favorite English sports teams, and exploring the outdoors through hiking and camping.

Queso

Security Cat

Queso arrived at NAVBR in 2018. He was as stray kitten that was brought to us because they did not think he would thrive living in his current conditions. After recently losing our previous office cat, Chips, we decided he would be a wonderful addition to our family.

Queso spends most of his time lounging around in the resort manager’s office, but he loves to play with his scratching post, cat teaser wand, and interactive egg feeder toy! He can occasionally be spotted supervising our staff. Of course, his favorite thing to do is EAT!
