Sandra Smith

Business Manager
I grew up in a place called Devils Lake, North Dakota. I moved to Colorado in 1986. I have a degree in Computer Science and Business. I have been here at Fremont Veterinary Hospital since August of 1994. 

My husband, Ron, and I have a blended family of 7 children and 13 grandchildren. We have two dogs, Millie and Annie at home. (Children are all grown and gone.)

My interests and hobbies are staying very busy at work, serving the community through our local Lions Club, and giving time to my church activities. I love to garden, travel, and maybe someday have more time to golf and spend time with my family.

Jaime Castle

I was born in Canon City and have lived here most of my life. I have 2 beautiful children, a loving husband, and many fur babies that include 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a rabbit. I have worked at FVH for 10 years, however I now only work part time. I enjoy being outside in our beautiful state. Our family loves to raft, ski, hike, and camp. I also love art! I enjoy painting and making pottery.

I am an Arizona native, who moved to Colorado with my 4 children and husband in 2019 to start our dreams of owning our own homestead. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my 100+ farm animals, who keep me very busy, or exploring the beautiful outdoors that I now call home.
