Justin Zentmire
Justin Zentmire has lived in Estes Park since the third grade. He is the proud parent of dogs, Rhett and Nami, and cat Garfield.
He is a mild-mannered vet tech by day, and a comic book fanatic by night! We’re sure your pet will think he’s a superhero. Found the love of his life at the Animal Hospital of the Rockies and married Christy Shane. They have a beautiful baby girl, Xanna Olivia and they welcomed Xarya, another beautiful daughter on September 15, 2021.
Justin’s favorite part about working at Dr. C’s is getting to meet different types of animals and the people that love them. He is soon celebrating his 10-year anniversary with us…he is a lifer!
