If I could rate her 6 stars I would. Extraordinary experience with Dr. Nolfi. She cared so much and listened so well. The The time she spent with us honoring Henry’s life was very valuable and the respect for our dear Henry’s comfort was always front and center. We will highly recommend her to our friends.
5.0May 19 2024 by Maddie M My dog never was a fan of the car or visiting the vet. For our family having someone come to the house, to help with euthanasia was the right choice for us. Dr Alicia was wonderful. She was beyond anything more we could have hoped for.
5.0Feb 10 2026 by Diana R. She was a gift to us through a very sudden decline in health for our dog. She was tender and handled our sadness with great respect. She talked us through the process, so there was nothing that happened that we didn't understand. She had just helped us euthanize our horse a week and half earlier. It was a difficult few weeks and she was perfect during this very painful time in our lives. I highly recommend her.
Under such difficult circumstances, Dr. Nolfi is someone you’d want to have there. Kind, caring, wonderful, patient. We are grateful she was there for us.
5.0Mar 19 2026 by Laurie R. Despite how sad it was to have lost my dear kitty, Alicia made the whole process feel more special and comfortable for everyone. I could tell she took her job seriously and really cared to go the extra mile to help us in such a hard time.
5.0Nov 04 2024 by Shannon S. We had an excellent experience in an otherwise incredibly difficult time. Alicia was warm, kind, and brought beautiful energy. We appreciate her care.
5.0Jun 10 2024 by Robert J Dr. Alicia Nolfi was incredibly sensitive. Took her time. Explained everything. Made an unbearable moment bearable. Answered my questions via text and phone before she arrived. And cried with me. What more could you ask for?
5.0Sep 06 2024 by Wendy K We had an excellent experience with something that is so difficult. Alicia was warm, kind, and brought beautiful energy. We appreciate her care.
5.0Jun 10 2024 by Robert J I couldn't have been more thankful that Dr. Alicia was the vet that put my beloved 11 year old dog down. The thoughtfulness, the care, the love, the compassion was all there. Dr. Alicia answered all questions before and after with clarity and mindfulness. As all dogs go to heaven, so should Dr. Alicia! Although we only knew each other for maybe 48 hours i'm not sure if i've ever met a more quality human being. If you truly love your pet and want to give them the best send-off possible, use this service. From start to finish this was truly the most beautiful way to say good bye. We have Dr. Alicia to thank for that. Truly the best!
5.0Feb 23 2026 by Chance M. We are extremely grateful to Dr. Alicia and CodaPet. Having our old man kitty, Colonel, be able to pass at home was the greatest gift. Dr. Alicia was incredibly compassionate and we couldn’t have asked for more. I highly recommend her and the service she provided us brought peace of mind.
5.0Sep 30 2024 by Local Locksmith Dr Alicia is an amazing person and a veterinarian, she helped us to overcome the most difficult time- a loss of our beloved cat , she said the right words and did everything to make our fur baby transition peacefully , she is very thoughtful and kind. We will be grateful forever❤️
5.0Sep 11 2024 by Tatyana Chyevskaya Dr Alicia Nolfi was amazing. She was compassionate and patient, and extremely sensitive to what we were going through. She explained the process in detail and kept us informed every step of the way. We highly recommend her to anyone needing her services in the Roaring Fork or Crystal River valleys.
5.0Aug 21 2025 by Kelley and Jon Amdur Alicia was very patient and kind. She sat with us and let us tell stories about our sweet Caesar and really should empathy towards our situation. She even followed up with us over the weekend to see how we were. This is the hardest thing I ever had to do and she made it a little better. I would recommend this service.
5.0Jan 26 2024 by Jordyn Robison Dr Alicia Nolfi is one of the most amazingly compassionate persons I have ever met. The angels were watching over us when she was sent to help our senior dog cross the Rainbow Bridge.
5.0May 24 2024 by Kathy B. We are forever grateful for having Dr. Alicia by our side she is an angel, and we were in the best care during our at home pet euthanasia experience. Her presence was healing and her expertise invaluable. We were able to peacefully honor our beloved pet during her transition at home.
5.0Feb 07 2024 by Jessica E I would give Dr Alicia 10 stars if it was an option. She is an angel and made this experience bearable. Kind compassionate and professional.
5.0Sep 17 2025 by TINA M. Dr. Nolfi is truly phenomenal! We have never had to say goodbye to a pet in our own home but her compassion and professionalism made it as bearable as possible. She was incredibly kind to us and let us take the time we needed to say goodbye and process it all. The way she honored his passing was a beautiful experience. When the time comes again in the future, I hope we can leverage her guidance. Thank you Dr. Nolfi for being so great at what you do
5.0Mar 27 2025 by Steve M. It’s been a little over a month since our precious girl Shilo left us. And only now am I able to write about it without crying (too much). Our long time Vet had retired and we were at a loss as to who could come to the house. Our situation was urgent, and taking Shilo somewhere was not an option. After calling several practices and being told no one was available, Alpine Animal Hospital recommended Codapet.
From the very first conversation, the people I spoke with were professional, organized and kind. I was told they had availability that same morning and that I would be contacted directly by the local veterinarian, Dr. Alicia Nolfi. I truly believe there was a reason why no one else was available. It was because we were meant to meet Alicia, so our girl could depart this world with the same dignity and grace with which she lived her life.
From the moment Alicia arrived, she took the time to get to know us and listen to our Shilo stories. None of the process was rushed. She explained each step and gently guided us through it. And when Shilo was gone, she cried along with us. This was not our first at home euthanasia but it was by far the most tranquil and loving transition we have ever had. After allowing us some time to say our final goodbye, Alicia oh so carefully wrapped our darling girl in her blanket and with my husband carried her out to the truck for her last road trip. Taking care of the final arrangements made a heart breaking situation that much easier.
Alicia is one of the most compassionate people I have ever met. She is undeniably an Angel sent here to do this very difficult work with the knowledge, tenderness and love only an Angel could possess. We were truly blessed to have her come into our lives just when we needed her the most, and for that we will be forever grateful.
When the time comes that you must say goodbye to your furry friend, I can’t recommend Dr. Alicia highly enough. She is the greatest gift you can give to your cherished companion.
Dr. Alicia Nolfi is an incredibly compassionate human being and provided a peaceful, loving experience at our home when our beloved Sadie passed away. Alicia is truly an “angel among us”.

Dr. Alicia was like an angel who helped our family and our fur baby transition from this world. I have never met a vet who cared as much as Dr. Alicia, her communication was on point, she checked in with us before arriving, checked in afterwards to see how our broken hearts were holding up and then sent us a heartfelt note a few weeks later. She was professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, kind, caring, compassionate, tender and helped us through a challenging time in a way I've never experienced from a vet. To lose a pet who's been part of your family is heart wrenching, but to have someone as kind and caring as Dr. Alicia makes it that much easier. I would highly recommend her, she's a gift to our community.
5.0Aug 14 2024 by Lindsay H Alicia was amazing. She is kind and patient. Informed us of each step in the process. We told stories and laughed and cried. It was a beautiful and fitting passing for our dog and Alicia was just wonderful. This is a very hard thing to do and having someone as caring as Alicia makes it just a little easier.
5.0Jul 18 2023 by Heather H Dr. Nolfi was so incredibly compassionate and supportive. My family felt that we were being guided by an expert hand. She was sensitive to our feelings and desires, made absolutely sure my dog was comfortable and not stressed, and turned an otherwise devastating event into an experience that made me realize that euthanasia of our pets is really the best thing we can give them at the end of their lives. But more than that, I now believe that an in-home pet euthanasia is the best way to do it. In addition to the honorable and compassionate way Dr. Nolfi guided the process, she also said some things that completely shifted my perspective away from grief and sadness. She helped me understand her belief that animals don’t necessarily see death as tragic or sad, but that they see it as an expected part of the journey of life. This, and the absolute assurance that my dog was comfortable, calm, and unaware of anything wrong, has helped me deal with the grief in a much more positive way. Dr. Nolfi joined us in our tears after learning about my dog and his life, which showed me that she not only cares deeply for her patients (human and animal), but that her work in making the process as comfortable as possible is deeply personal. She was also kind enough to give my family some space when the procedure was finished, but honestly I would have been happy if she had stayed; that is how comfortable we all felt with her. If you need an absolute expert, a compassionate and caring vet, and someone who considers this tragic work important enough to dedicate herself to it full-time, please use Dr. Nolfi for your next in-home pet euthanasia. She is unequivocally the best.
Dr Alicia Nolfi was sent by angels to help me through saying goodbye to my fur baby. My little girl had cancer and Dr Nolfi guided me through thinking clearly on what to do and then when it came time to say goodbye was so kind and thoughtful. She was so patient and thoughtful-I will never forget her kindness.
5.0Jan 22 2025 by Tonia B. If you find yourself in my situation this is definitely the way to go. My two previous 18-year-old feline euthanasia experiences at vet clinics were humane but clinical and expedited. When my 15-year-old Sophia’s kidney and thyroid issues progressed and she became too frail to continue, I remembered a local newspaper article about CodaPet. In this western Colorado resort area we are very fortunate to have a metro area service like CodaPet and an in-home veterinarian like Dr. Alicia Nolfi.
Sophie spent most of her time in a cushy bed on my desk and I’m thankful that’s where she chose to settle in for the procedure. The effects of the first injection were incredible to watch as the pain meds and sedative soothed her into a blissful intoxication, probably the best she had felt in a long time. There were several minutes of alertness and eye contact prior to falling sound asleep in her bed. The subsequent injection of anesthetic was uneventful, and only after unconsciousness was confirmed were the fatal drugs administered. As painless as possible for Sophie and the saddened humans at her side. I had the ability to do an immediate burial on property.
By adopting a senior shelter cat you know this day is coming way too soon, it’s part of life. Maybe another one someday, it’s good karma for both souls. Dr. Nolfi was professional and perfect start to finish, thank you again Alicia, I am truly grateful.
5.0Aug 14 2025 by Kevin Milner Dr Nolfi is quite possibly rhe most amazing person I have encountered in my life. On what was one of the hardest days of my life, she came to me and my best buddy in the whole world and helped us both with his transition to the next life in the comfort of familiar surroundings while I held him and told him how much I loved him. Her compassion and obvious love for people and animals during this time and with follow up after the goodbye was more than I ever could have asked for. While I wish nobody ever had to do this, it is unfortunately a part of life, and the most loving thing you can ever do for your 4 legged friends. When the time comes, there is nobody else I could ever recommend more than Alicia Nolfi. She is quite possibly an angel in disguise
5.0Feb 14 2025 by Justin R. Dr. Alicia Nolfi from CodaPet made home euthanasia a beautiful experience. Dr. Alicia's preparation, euthanasia, and follow-up were treated with the utmost compassion and delicate care. She was flexible and accommodating with the timing. I highly recommend her.

I have never felt someone care as much as she did! Alicia is hands down the best person to be with to help through a difficult situation. Xoxo
5.0Jun 23 2025 by April H. I don't know that there are adequate words to describe how much I appreciate Dr. Alicia. She helped us with a difficult transition in sending our beloved fur baby over that rainbow bridge. Her compassion, caring, and attention to the heaviness of the moment for us was something I will always remember and be thankful for. Thank you so very much for being there for us and our Freddie girl when it was the most difficult.

5.0Feb 14 2025 by Justin R. When our cat came into our lives, as an adult, he was a promise to keep. When he left us, Kit-Kit had become a beloved member of our small family, and a person, at least, to us. He was already struggling with old age, vision and renal failure when his stroke happened at 16-17 yrs old. On short notice, on a Saturday, we able to find a recommendation for CodaPet, who connected us to Dr. Nolfi. When she arrived, on Monday morning, and met Kit-Kit we knew immediately we had made the best decision available to us. Our friend passed peacefully, painlessly, in his favorite spot, with my wife and I on either side of him. At all times Dr. Nolfi expressed care for our friend and acknowledged the personhood we saw in our pet. We felt her concern for us going through this process as well. Both my wife and I are deeply thankful to Dr. Alicia Nolfi, for her compassion, professionalism and willingness to come to our out of the way rural neighborhood. I would refer her service to anyone who has a pet in need, especially when that furry friend can't travel. We are thankful to the local vets who recommended that we reach out to CodaPet.
5.0Dec 27 2023 by Thomas S. Dr Alicia nolfi is an angel. She is a selfless, humble, knowledgeable, amazing doctor. All of her knowledge and experience made this transition effortlessly to understand what was going on at all times and made it an absolutely amazing experience overall. Dr Nolfi. Is amazing. I would recommend any of her services to anybody in need.
5.0Oct 12 2024 by Michael H. Dr. Alicia was incredibly compassionate, supportive, intuitive, gentle, informative, and like an extension of our family during the process of need ing to say goodbye to our almost 17 year old dog. I highly recommend her. We are so grateful that she was able to assist our dog out of pain and suffering and help her soul be free again.
5.0May 08 2025 by Laine F. Dr. Alicia could not be a sweeter, kinder human. She was amazing!! She supported us through the entire process and went far above and beyond to care for us humans - and most importantly the care and concern she had for our princess dog was unsurpassed. She truly loves animals and has a genuine approach, making a very terrible situation bearable. We were so appreciative to have her support our family and will be forever grateful to her.
5.0Mar 14 2024 by Linda C I am not a religious person but I do somehow think Dr. Alicia is an angel on earth. Her job must be incredibly taxing but she still showed up and exhibited genuine empathy, sympathy and kindness. She allowed us to take our time and gave us space to cry and mourn. She treated our sweet cat with dignity and respect and it felt like she loved her as much as we did. She is a beautiful and amazing human being.
