"Hands down the best vet in town! Dr. Rowe is kind, compassionate and as fair as they come. His staff is great also. We're always treated with respect by Dr. Rowe and I've never felt like he didn't have what was absolutely best for my pet in mind. They have great prices and a beautiful facility. Highly recommend."

Dr. Tim Rowe Veterinarian/Owner
I am tremendously excited and proud to open Timberline Animal Hospital. After providing veterinary care with a local Fort Collins Hospital since 2007, the time has come for me to bring my vision of veterinary excellence to life. My professional passions are dentistry, internal medicine, surgery, and developing trusting relationships with pets and their
people. My promise to you is to deliver compassionate care with outstanding service to both you and your pet and never lose sight of my core values as a veterinarian.
I earned my Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Colorado State University in 2005 and was the recipient of The Pfizer Veterinary Specialty Team Award for Excellence and Clinical Proficiency in Internal Medicine. After graduation I moved to Northern California and practiced in a very busy hospital for two years. My family and I missed Fort Collins and we returned in 2007.
I grew up in Albuquerque and many of my family members still call New Mexico home. My wife, Heather, and I have three children and enjoy skiing, camping, hiking, playing games, and watching movies together. I am also a dedicated runner and am out on the trails early most mornings. Accumulating pets is an occupational hazard of being a veterinarian and our pet family consists of many dogs and cats (but I won’t say how many because the number can change at anytime) and a guinea pig.
Please stop by and let me give you a personal tour of Timberline Animal Hospital. I look forward to seeing you!

Nicky - Certified Veterinary Technician
I am a Fort Collins native who has always had a passion for animals. After high school I decided to attend Front Range Community College with the hopes of one day working with animals. I graduated in May 2013 with an Associates of Applied Science with a focus in Veterinary Technology. In November of that same year I passed the VTNE, Veterinary Technician National Exam, which gave me the opportunity to become a Certified Veterinary Technician in the state of Colorado.
Outside of the hospital, I love to spend time being outside, only when it’s warm, and enjoying the company of family, especially my beautiful 4 year old daughter, Mia. I have four pets of my own including three dogs Mischief, Pepper and Duke and a cat named Mizuno. I hope to grow as a technician, fine tune my technical skills, and be able to provide quality care to pets and their owners.

Amber - Veterinary Technician
I grew up in the Big Sky country of Montana, in a small town where animals greatly outnumber the amount of people. I was raised on a ranch of 130,000 acres with 3,000 head of cattle, 40 horses, several dogs, and lots of good mouse getting cats. That atmosphere cultivated my love for large and small animals alike. I received a scholarship from Montana State University to become a Bobcat Track and Field athlete competing as a High Jumper and a Multi-athlete. I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Science with a focus in Livestock Management and Industries in May of 2014. I experienced mixed practice Veterinary medicine during my internship through school and employment after graduation before relocating to Fort Collins. I share my home with my cat Reid who enjoys observing the overabundance of squirrels and geese on the Front Range. My dog Sophie, which we found in a hay field several years ago, is back home with my parents in Montana enjoying the life of no fences in the country.
In my free time, I enjoy shooting my bow, working cattle and riding horses back in Montana, eating loads of good food, watching movies and decorating cakes for events such as my three little nieces’ birthday parties.
Kaytie - Veterinary Technician
I am a Veterinary Student at CSU and enjoy working at Timberline Animal Hospital in my spare time. I grew up in Casper, Wyoming and graduated from the University of Wyoming in 2012 with a Bachelor's Degree in Animal and Veterinary Science and Music Minor. When I graduate from Veterinary school, I would like to work with small animals and pet exotics.
I got married in June 2014 to, Ryan, who I met in high school. We have three dogs, a salamander, three tarantulas, and some fish. We believe in rescuing dogs, and we often foster dogs to help save them from high kill shelters and find them forever homes.
I also enjoy playing the cello and guitar, bowling, reading, and writing in my spare time.

Sara - Veterinary Assistant
Growing up in Montana I have come to appreciate the natural
world and everything it has to offer. I spent my childhood with Yellowstone
National Park as my backyard then moved to Missoula, Montana to attend high
school. I went on to further my education and received my B.A. in Archaeology
and Native American Studies from the University of Montana. During my studies
in Missoula, I worked at a dog lodging, daycare and hiking facility and loved
every minute of it. Piling 10 dogs in a Subaru and hiking them off leash in the
woods was the best part! After
graduating I worked seasonally with trail crews and on a mountain ranch. There
came a time where I felt I needed more in my life so I decided to move with my
dog, Kenzii Puppinpawz, to Fort Collins and attend the Front Range Community
College Veterinary Technician program. Now having finished with the program I
am continuing to expand my knowledge in animal medicine and am helping the
Poudre River Wildlife Center open its doors.
Michaela - Veterinary Assistant
During my childhood I was fortunate enough to live overseas for 11 years in countries including the UK, The Netherlands, and Spain. I am now happy to call Fort Collins my home as I finish my undergraduate degree at CSU. I am a senior double majoring in Biomedical Science and Spanish, and plan to attend Veterinary School focusing on large animal, once I graduate. I work primarily with small
ruminants, yet I welcome any experience with new species! Working at Timberline Animal Hospital is giving me great experience and insight into the small animal aspect of this profession, and I’m enjoying every minute of it. In my free time I enjoy hiking and riding my gelding Tucker, an adorable little bay I’ve had since he was 5 months old.

Elise - Veterinary Assistant
Originally from southern California, I came to Colorado to
get a taste of the outdoors and experience real seasons, something that
California was notably lacking. I am currently a senior at Colorado State
University where I am studying zoology and I am planning on applying to
veterinary school in the fall. I have been fortunate enough to work with big
cats at the Denver Zoo, with marine mammals in Hawaii and with sheep, goats,
and horses at the Colorado State University Teaching Hospital. Timberline
Animal Hospital has given me a valuable opportunity to strengthen my small
animal veterinary knowledge and improve my growing customer service skills. I
particularly enjoy how supportive the staff is at Timberline Animal Hospital. In
my free time, I enjoy horseback riding, traveling, and volunteering at a local
wolf sanctuary in Colorado.
Xander - Pet Care Aide
Growing up in Colorado I spend many of my days outside enjoying the mountains. I am a swimmer on FAST and for Poudre High School, where I am a senior. I work as a Lifeguard over the summer, and when I am not training with my swim team you could find me fishing with my little brother Jake. Having a Veterinarian for a father growing up we always had animals in the home, currently we live with 5 cats and 3 dogs. I don’t have much free time between school and swim team, but over the weekend I enjoy helping out my parents and working with animals at the hospital.

Silas - Greeter
Silas came to our hospital as a foster cat from the Fort Collins Cat Rescue after the floods in September 2013. He was thin and it was clear that he was in pain when he ate. Silas would sit crouched in the corner and our staff was concerned that there was something wrong with his teeth. After a dental assessment, it was clear that Silas needed a dental cleaning and dental x-rays were needed to assess his teeth. The x-rays showed that he had two teeth where the crown was separated from the root below the gum line. Three weeks after his dental and extractions, he was a new cat!
He started eating, gaining weight, and he started sleeping in his cat bed at the front desk. After three months as a foster cat, we all had become very attached to Silas. We decided to make it official and finalized his adoption with Fort Collins Cat
Rescue in late December. He is now an official resident of our hospital and a great greeter. Silas is the perfect hospital cat. He is oblivious to dogs, likes other cats and kittens, and REALLY likes our guinea pig patients. You will usually find Silas sleeping in his bed at the reception desk or he’s in the back basking in the sun next to the toasty autoclave. We look forward to years of Silas as
the official hospital greeter.
