Dr. Bolinger grew up on the East Coast in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and received her Bachelor’s degree in Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences at Penn State (We Are!). Upon graduating, she worked in the veterinary field before moving out of the country to pursue her dream of becoming a veterinarian. She moved to the beautiful island of Saint Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean to attend Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. While in veterinary school, she got SCUBA certified, found the best snorkeling spots, helped provide veterinary care to the local community, and enjoyed looking for sea glass on the various beaches around the island. Her final year of veterinary school was completed at Colorado State University, and she decided to stay out west after graduating in 2025. 

Some of Dr. Bolinger’s veterinary passions include client education and preventative medicine, emergency medicine, soft tissue surgery, and advocating for her patients. She is very excited to be joining the team at Foxtail Pines, and is looking forward to supporting her clients and patients however she can. 

In her free time, she enjoys hiking, reading, listening to music, going on long car rides, and watching sunsets. She also spends time with her dog (Missy- a “Coconut Retriever”) and her cat (Girl-an island kitty who has spots like a cow), both of which she adopted on the island and brought back with her to the states.
