Meet Our Doctors
Dr. Catie Theiler, DVM
Medical Director/Managing DVM
I have been in the veterinary industry since I was 16. I started as a kennel technician in my hometown vet clinic in Arlington, Nebraska. I moved up to veterinary assistant while I was in college. I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Science from Doane University in Crete, Nebraska, and DVM from Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. Because I am a new graduate I want to bring new research and medicine to Foothills. In addition, I have a special interest in surgery and dermatology. I want to give each of my patients the best care possible while providing the best experience for the pet. In my free time, I like to snuggle with my cat Charlie, crochet, cook, and be outdoors.
Dr. Brittany Miller, DVM
Veterinarian
Dr. Brittany Miller is a dedicated mixed animal veterinarian and a proud Colorado native. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree magna cum laude from Regis University before completing her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Colorado State University in 2018. During veterinary school, she also became certified in veterinary acupuncture through the CuraCore Academy, expanding her expertise in integrative medicine.
Her professional interests include soft tissue surgery, emergency medicine, and integrative therapies. Dr. Miller is passionate about building lasting relationships with her patients and clients, believing that strong community connections are at the heart of excellent veterinary care.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Miller enjoys life in Littleton with her husband and their dogs. When she’s not caring for patients, she can be found practicing yoga, weightlifting, reading, or baking something delicious.
Dr. Jennifer Baughman, DVM
Veterinarian
Dr. Jennifer Baughman’s journey into veterinary medicine began early—so early, in fact, she was voted “Most Likely to Become a Veterinarian” in preschool! Originally from the northern suburbs of Chicago, she followed her passion for animals to Central Michigan University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in biomedical sciences. She went on to receive her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Colorado State University.
As a new graduate, Dr. Baughman brings fresh knowledge, a warm heart, and a commitment to providing exceptional, personalized care to every patient and their family. Her clinical interests include dentistry, soft tissue surgery, and dermatology.
When she’s not at the hospital, you can find Dr. Baughman exploring local hiking trails with her dog, Butters, curled up with a good book, or discovering new restaurants to try.
dR. TIMOTHY BILLS, DVM
Veterinarian
Dr. Tim developed a love for animals at an early age, which was reinforced at age seven when he would occasionally “run away” (to the front of the neighborhood), waiting for his mom to get home. All the dogs in his rural neighborhood followed and joined in his solitude to lend their support. Tim went on to graduate from St. George’s University in 2015 after completing his clinical year at the University of Florida. Tim has been a practicing small animal veterinarian in Colorado since 2016. His professional interests include soft tissue surgery, internal medicine, and dermatology.
Outside of being a veterinarian, Tim loves everything that Colorado has to offer and enjoys exploring the mountains, hiking, and skiing. He also enjoys seeing live music and keeping up with the Avs, Nuggets, Rockies, and other sports. Tim loves his work and caring for the pets that come through the door!

Eva, RVT
I’m a Colorado local, born and raised in Denver but for the last 20 years, I’ve lived in Sunny San Diego which I consider my second home.
I have a degree in Animal Health Technology from San Diego Mesa College and have worked in small animal practices, specialty clinics, and have interned at the famous San Diego Zoo, where I worked with amazing people and got to see so many awesome animals, including the adorable pandas!
After a break from work to raise my daughter, I’m so happy to be back in Colorado working as a CVT. I have seen my love of animals transfer to my daughter and she is thrilled that I am a “puppy nurse” and get to wear pajamas to work.
Ariana, RVT

Jason, RVT
Veterinary Assistant
I’ve always been around animals, from chickens, rabbits and goats my mother raised, to working with pets and primates as a veterinary technician. After a lifetime in Georgia, I am excited to be in the mountains with my partner, our cat and almost enough houseplants to balance not having a garden. I am happy to call Colorado home and to be a part of the Foothills family.
