A Veterinary Service Born from Compassion

Routt Home Vet was founded with a vision to transform how veterinary care is delivered. After years of experience in traditional veterinary clinics, Dr. Cindi Hillemeyer recognized a need for an approach that felt more personal, more flexible, and far less stressful — for both pets and their caregivers.

In-home veterinary care allows for longer visits, calmer environments, and the ability to truly meet each pet where they are, emotionally and physically. With a gentle bedside manner and thoughtful attention to detail, every appointment is approached with the intention of observing, listening to, and responding to what each pet needs most.

Today, Routt Home Vet offers a compassionate alternative for pet owners in search of wellness care, diagnostics, minor procedures, and dignified end-of-life support — all from the comfort of home.

Meet Dr. Cindi Hillemeyer, DVM MSc

With over 25 years of diverse veterinary experience, USDA-accredited veterinarian Dr. Cindi is a passionate advocate for all animals, from beloved household pets to exotics and wildlife. Her career has spanned multiple levels of veterinary medicine, with a deep dedication to complex medical cases, geriatric care, pain management, and compassionate, at-home treatment — especially for dogs, cats, and other small animals. She founded Routt Home Vet in 2024 to pursue her passions and allow for more flexibility in work and life.

Dr. Cindi completed advanced internship training that provided in-depth education in ultrasonography, internal medicine, oncology, soft tissue surgery, wound care, physical therapy and rehabilitation, emergency medicine, and more. She holds advanced training in ultrasonography and has cultivated special interests in feline medicine, pain management, orthopedics, and the nuanced needs of exotic species.

A member of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), Colorado Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA), and the Veterinary Information Network (VIN), Dr. Cindi is also Cat Friendly Certified. She has previously been involved with the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP), the Iditarod Trail Veterinarians, and CVMA’s Power of Ten leadership program.

Her clinical expertise is matched by her adventurous spirit. Dr. Cindi has been an active member of Routt County Search and Rescue for more than 6 years and is a current Board member. An accomplished athlete, she thrives in the outdoors — whether packrafting, mountain biking, bikepacking, or Nordic skiing — always carrying the same determination and curiosity that define her veterinary practice.
