Dr. Reese

Our Staff

We love working with animals and would love to meet you and your pet!

Dr. Reese

Veterinarian

Dr. Reese Odenwelder is a Florida native who grew up dreaming of one day becoming a “Dogtor”.

Combining her passion for science and medicine with her love of animals, she attended the University of Florida to become a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. After graduating in 2013, Reese moved to Colorado to join fellow outdoor enthusiasts and pet lovers. She quickly fell in love with the mountain town lifestyle and met her husband, Chris. Together they adopted Doug, a dog with a fun mix of goof and adventure.

Stacy

Receptionist/Tech Assistant

Stacy began her veterinary career while attending high school in Southern California, working for a local Vet most afternoons and on weekends.

She has always had a strong connection to animals, wildlife and nature. After high school she graduated from California State University of Monterey Bay and went to work full time at a busy animal hospital. From there, she moved to Big Bear, CA to work at the Big Bear Alpine Zoo. It is one of only two Alpine zoos in the United States. It specializes in rehab and release of local Alpine species and also has a permanent collection of animals in their zoo. It was from there that she went on to further her education at the Veterinary Technology program at Colorado Mountain College in Glenwood Springs. After graduation she was employed as a Certified Veterinary Technician in Aspen as a lead surgical nurse. This is where she met Dr. Reese! Together they spayed and neutered hundreds of shelter animals for the Aspen Animal Shelter. She has recently moved to Steamboat Springs and is absolutely loving it. She is an avid hiker and loves exploring the mountain trails with her beloved dog, Finn. Then she enjoys coming home and reading a good book with her cat Darth curled up on her lap. She is very excited to be practicing Fear Free medicine with Dr. Reese at Ski Town Animal Hospital.

Kristen

Receptionist/Tech Assistant

As a little girl, Kristen’s favorite game was “vets.”

Her parents were kind enough to let her convert the basement closet into a make-shift vet office, where she could treat stuffed animals and preform surgeries, utilizing her mom’s kitchen tools. She went on to earn a Biology degree from UNC Charlotte. After college, she worked as a Field Biologist in Mexico, and later began a Master’s of Zoology in Austria. However, after brief time spent Colorado, she caught the Steamboat bug. Now she enjoys skiing, hiking, running and helping to take care of REAL pets in the town she fell in love with.

Camping, skiing and snowmobiling are a few more things she enjoys.

Kayla

Born and raised, Steamboat native, Kayla is a huge outdoor enthusiast! She loves spending time outdoors and with her princess pup Skye!

Our Clients And Their Pets Mean The World To Us!

We were visiting from Denver when our pup started experience some issues that really concerned us. I called and they were able to work me in within an hour of my call. When we went to visit, the Dr and staff were so nice and welcoming. Our dog received a very thorough examination. He ended up being prescribed multiple medications for multiple issues and the Dr was so helpful in explaining and re-explaining the different medications and what our next steps should be when we return to Denver. If we ever have any issues in Steamboat again, we’ll be back.

Jana Bloomquist

My husband and I have been bringing our dog here since she was a puppy. We have always received excellent service and care. The staff is very knowledgeable and personable, and go the extra mile to make sure that you and your pets needs are met. We have never been overcharged, and feel as if the services provided are of the best quality. We are moving away from Routt county to the Denver area, but will be keeping this Vet. as our primary care provider for our beloved pet. The three hour drive from Denver is worth the care that our pet has received over the years.

Kathy S.

You are simply the most awesome and wonderful vet practice I’ve ever encountered! Every single person I’ve had even the slightest encounter with in over a decade has been fantastic — kind, caring, helpful, and all around wonderful. I couldn’t imagine trusting Carolyn and Sassy to anyone else, and I tell everyone about you who even mentions that they have a new pet or need to take their pet to a vet. I really, really appreciate everything you’ve all done for me and my critters! Thank You, you are the best. We highly recommend you to anyone looking for a Vet!

Janet B.

When Dr. Rule retired we took our cat to see Dr Reese. I love her fear free environment. Our cat fell in love with her immediately. She is knowledgeable, thorough, and fairly priced. Unfortunately our aging cat had to go to Kitty Heaven. Dr Reese, Stacy, Diana and Denise were so caring and compassionate. I will definitely go back with my next pet and highly recommend them. A great addition to our community. Welcome!!!

Janis Petry

Since Dr. Reese has opened Ski Town Animal Hospital, I have had many occasions to take my 3 dogs there for treatment and for her advice. I have found both Dr. Reese and the whole staff to be attentive, well informed and very helpful. When Dr. John Rule retired recently, I among many of his patients hated to see he and Carolyn leave. However, I feel that my family of two and four legged creatures are in great hands! Thanks to Dr. Reese’s expertise and great follow up, we feel well cared for.

Kay Combs

My passion is adopting dogs with medical issues. I currently have five fantastic canines and excellent veterinary care is my top priority. I have nothing but the highest regard for Doctor Reese and the Ski Town Animal Hospital team. The care my “family” receives is top notch and the love shown to each and every individual is tailored and specialized. Doc Reese is intensely capable, aware of the latest practices, and willing to put in the hard work to crack my most challenging cases. I highly recommend Ski Town Animal Hospital if you are looking for informed, compassionate, quality care.

Ski Town Animal Hospital is true Steamboat! It is friendly, relaxed and fun! Dr. Reese, her assistants and front office staff could not be more helpful and attentive to the needs of not only our animals but the two legged humans that love them! When we brought our new puppy Harper home we needed to find a new vet for her vaccinations and check-up as well as for our 5-year old lab, Bear. I walked into Ski Town Animal Hospital and immediately knew I had chosen the right place. It was warm, cozy, adorably decorated and so clean!!! There were toys and treats and all Harper could ask for. The front desk was welcoming and accommodating, they even offered a free leash. WOW! CONTINUED>>>>>>

During our visit, they absolutely lived up to the “fear free” atmosphere they strive for. I was extremely impressed when Dr. Reese and her assistant got down on the floor and took their time getting to know Harper and loving on her while asking me all the important questions before the exam even began. During the exam and vaccinations…peanut butter coated dinosaur toys and cheese-whiz covered cutting boards…come on… Harper was in heaven and never even knew she was getting an exam or shots. The techniques used for distracting Harper were so creative and I was put at ease because she was having a great time! Dr. Reese and her team at Ski Town are top notch! They are knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. I highly recommend them to all my fur-loving friends!

Dr. Reese and the staff at Ski Town Animal Hospital were awesome! Moose was relaxed and comfortable during his entire checkup, and looks forward to coming back again for his booster shots next month! This was our first visit, and it felt like they spent extra time and attention to welcoming us. We walked away with smiles and a big bag of puppy starter gear. Moose loves his puppy pack!

We moved to Steamboat 2 years ago and were so happy to find Dr. Reese! We have 2 Labs and a cat and we have found such a wonderful veterinarian for them! She is very knowledgeable and kind. Dr. Reese takes her time with each of our pets and is excellent at explaining everything to us. We have never had any problem getting them in as soon as we need and the office is open Monday-Friday with set office hours. We truly cannot say enough how happy we are with Dr. Reese as our pets veterinarian! Go Gators!
