Our Team
Chris and his wife are the owners of Canyon Pet Hospital. After serving four years in the US Marine Corps, Chris went on to get his Master's Degree in education. He worked as a special education teacher for four years in Colorado. When he moved to Arizona with Julianne, he stayed home with his daughters Madeline and Zoe for the first two years before purchasing the practice.
After Marine Corps leadership roles and four years working with at-risk youths, Chris still credits his experience as a stay-at-home dad, more than any other, as the job that best helped prepare him to take on ownership and management of Canyon Pet Hospital.
As co-owner of Canyon Pet Hospital, Chris works closely with his wife and the management team to make Canyon Pet Hospital the leading veterinary hospital in Northern Arizona. The management believes that it's their challenge to themselves to find new and inventive ways to meet the needs of clients and their pets. This is done through unparalleled customer service, practicing high-quality, progressive medicine, and giving back to the Northern Arizona Community. Both Chris and his wife are excited about the opportunity to run and manage this beautiful hospital.

Hello! My name is Erica Pillow. I am the hospital director at Canyon Pet Hospital and a certified veterinary technician in the state of Arizona. Some say I am also a certified boxer lover. I graduated from the Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana and grew up in Indiana, Michigan, and Missouri.
My husband, Michael and I moved to Flagstaff in 2009 and immediately fell in love with this area of the country. We have a son named Wyatt and a daughter named Nora who keep us well entertained, and bring us lots of laughter.
When I am not caring for your “kids” here at Canyon Pet Hospital, I enjoy exploring the peaks with my horses and donkey, giving riding lessons, and hiking with my boxers and kids. I am currently working on earning my certification as a Certified Veterinary Practice Manager in an effort to benefit and develop our team to continue to be the best in northern Arizona.
Feel free to contact me anytime if you ever have any questions. I am always available at ericapillow@canyonpet.com.
Hi there, my Name is Carly'e Bemis!!! My career at Canyon Pet Hospital started as a technician in 2011. Eager to learn and take on more responsibilities, I was promoted to the position Hospital Administrator in August of 2014. I am very proud to be able to work with such a great group of individuals. Growing up on our farm in Hammett Idaho, I knew from an early age that I wanted to work with animals. My goal is to provide quality care and service to not only the animals at Canyon Pet Hospital, but also to their families.
I moved to Arizona in 2010 from the Pacific Northwest with my husband Justin. We both thoroughly enjoy being in the sun and a the wide-range of outdoor activities that Northern Arizona provides. We are the proud parents of two spoiled dogs; Betty, a pug and Reggie, a miniature pincer. In my spare time I enjoy, traveling, photography, hiking with the dogs and hanging out with my family and friends.

Hi! My name is Tiffany and I have lived in and loved Flagstaff since 2011!! I have two very furry fur babies at home, a Husky and German Shepard who LOVE the snow and cool summers that Flagstaff has to offer. In my spare time I enjoy nothing more than lounging around at home, walking the pups around the duck pond close by, and hiking in our backyard, which just happens to be one of the perks of living in a National Forest.
I started as a Customer Service Representative here at Canyon Pet Hospital in 2015 and worked and trained my way up to a Veterinarian Technician, which I have done now since 2017. I have loved animals my whole life, and I have enjoyed taking care of all the amazing pets that have been brought to us and the trust you as clients have given us with them!
I am now working in Human Resources and am very eager to continue to grow with this company and learn more ways to help Canyon Pet Hospital continue to thrive as Northern Arizona's Premier Veterinary Hospital.
If there is anything I can do to assist you in any way, please feel free to reach out to me at tiffanycubias@canyonpet.com.
Hi there, I’m Katie!! I am a native of Flagstaff and love this place too much to ever leave. I married my high school sweetheart and shortly after started our family. We have two beautiful children, Everlynn and Jensen as well as three doggies. In our spare time, we love to be outdoors with our fur babies or just enjoying all that Flagstaff has to offer.
I came to Canyon Pet Hospital in 2014 as a volunteer, not knowing much about veterinary medicine. I quickly fell in love and was hired shortly after. I started as a customer service representative, then moved to an assistant, and in 2015 became a veterinary technician. I am very fortunate to have grown with Canyon Pet hospital over the years and to be able to further my career as a floor manager. It is my passion to provide exceptional care for all the animals and their families.
