Tiffany
Hello! My name is Tiffany Ho and I have been with the Buena Vista Veterinary Clinic since May 2016. I have enjoyed every minute working at the clinic with our devoted clients and their amazing pets. I have come to love veterinary medicine so much that I have earned a Master of Biomedical Sciences in Animal Physiology and Anatomy in 2021 and Master of Business Administration in 2023 from Colorado State University. I am currently enrolled in Colorado State University’s Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program with the anticipated graduation in 2026. My hopes are to return to the Buena Vista Veterinary Clinic to work alongside Dr. Kettering to learn how I can be the best veterinarian. I spend my academic break periods back in Buena Vista working at the clinic. I hope to see you with your fur-baby!
Jennifer
I’m Jennifer and have been working at the Buena Vista Veterinary Clinic since May of 2017. I’ve had an interest in animals since I was a little kid so working in veterinary medicine as a second career was a good fit for me. When not at the clinic I can be found on my farm playing with my dogs, cats, goats, horses, donkeys, chickens, llamas, and my miniature scottish highland steer. I also enjoy exploring trails on my ATV and watching Oklahoma State Cowboy football.
Darlene
Hi! I’m Darlene and I’ve been at the clinic since July of 2021 filling in when needed. It’s wonderful to meet so many kind people and their precious pets.
When I’m not helping at the clinic, I’m an active volunteer for Colorado Beagle Rescue. We save approximately 100 homeless beagles annually, get them fully vetted and placed into loving forever homes.
I love exploring this area with my husband, spending time with our granddaughter, paper crafting and taking care of our dogs.
River
I’m River (aka River Rat the Clinic Brat) and I have been an employee since May of 2021 when my feral mom came in for a c-section. The fine folks that work at the clinic bottle raised me and my siblings, and I was the lucky one who got picked to work at the clinic! I enjoy drinking from the faucet, daily “parkour” time, chasing down my treats, and “harrassing” both patients and the staff. Despite all the time I spend sleeping in the blanket closet, I have been Employee of the Month every month that I have worked here!
Taylor
Hi! I’m Taylor and have been with the Buena Vista Veterinary Clinic since March of 2025. I’ve loved being around animals and working with them since I was young. I’ve always wanted to work in the veterinary field, and was able to start my career with shelter medicine and animal welfare. I have enjoyed my time working at the clinic, getting to meet such nice clients and their sweet pets. When I’m not at the clinic, I enjoy being with my dog and cat, camping, four-wheeling, and spending time with friends and family.
Mikenzie
Hello, My name is Mikenzie. I have lived in the valley off and on since 2009. When I just moved back from Grand Junction at the end of 2024 I was looking for a job that had meaning. That’s when I found Buena Vista Veterinary Clinic. I was hired in January of 2025. I have loved working here, getting to know all the animals that come in as well as their people. I look forward to meeting all the four legged babies and their people too! In my free time I love getting outside and spending time with my dog Willow.
Kris
Hi, I’m Kris. I recently moved to beautiful Buena Vista, but am not new to the area. I have been visiting my in-laws here for over 30 years.
I got my degree in teaching from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, and taught 4th grade until I had kids of my own.
When I’m not working at the clinic, I love to hike with my fur babies and to fish. My favorite pastime is to read a good book by our beautiful Arkansas River.
