Heather

Lead Technician

I have worked in veterinary medicine for nine years and have loved animals since childhood. I started my veterinary career as a receptionist and quickly progressed into a technician role, embracing every opportunity to grow and take on new challenges. Over the years, I've worked in emergency and critical care, and now I am excited to be working toward becoming certified in ultrasound.

When I’m not busy with work, I love spending time with my husband, family, and friends. At home, I have three amazing pets who keep me on my toes: Diesel and Rugar, my cats, and Butch, who is my "soul dog". As the lead technician at Care, I take pride in working closely with clients to prioritize the health and happiness of their beloved furry family members. Through education and collaboration, my mission is to provide exceptional care that ensures each pet receives the attention and support they deserve.

Kennedy

Veterinary Technician

I graduated from Millington High School and was part of the Tuscola Future Farmers of America.  I am continuing my education at Delta College to become a Labor and Delivery Nurse.  Growing up on my family's farm nurtured my deep love for animals, a passion that has stayed with me throughout my life. Now, I'm grateful to share my days with two incredible dogs, an Old Australian Shepherd and a Mini Long-Haired Dachshund.  In my free time, I love farming, nature, riding side by sides and hanging out with family and friends.

Shannon

Veterinary Technician

I’ve loved animals my entire life and knew early on that I wanted to help them. When I was six, I made a tiny splint for a grasshopper with a broken leg - and that moment sealed my future. Since then, I’ve always been surrounded by pets: dogs, cats, chickens, and anything else I could sneak inside, especially one very chubby‑cheeked tomcat who ruled the house.

Today, I’m grateful to work in a field I truly love. I promise to treat your pets with the same empathy, care, and compassion I give my own. When I’m not at the clinic, I'm usually home spending time with my own pets: an American Bully, a German Shepherd, birds, and snakes; and enjoy cooking, hiking, kayaking, bird‑watching, and gardening.

Cierra

Veterinary Assistant

I've been an animal lover since childhood—the kid who always wanted to pet every dog on the sidewalk and thought bully breeds were the coolest creatures on the planet. I've always believed that every dog deserves a fair shot at love, no matter what their breed stereotype might say.

My partner and I have recently settled into our first home with our wonderfully chaotic four‑pet crew: Buddy Guy, my "soul dog" and constant shadow; DeeDee, the sweetest rescue American Bully you'll ever meet; and two cats, Mushu and Mochi, who run the household and allow us humans to live there.

When I'm not working, you'll find me snuggled up with my pets, experimenting in the kitchen, baking something delicious, or spending time with the people I love. I've fallen head‑over‑heels for veterinary medicine, and I'm excited to keep learning, growing, and helping animals live their happiest and healthiest lives.

Breeanna

Lead Client Care Coordinator

My love and dedication to animals began at a young age, with aspirations to become a veterinarian. My family history is one of rescuing and caring for various animals, including wildlife. I was raised with horses, chickens, dogs, cats, lizards, and hermit crabs. Hunting dogs, particularly beagles, hold a special place in my heart. However, there is nothing better than relaxing with a purring kitty. Outside of the clinic, I am dedicated to my roles as a mother, wife and volunteer, enthusiastically participating in activities for the Village of Millington. I am involved with several nonprofit organizations and spend much of my free time serving the community, taking care of my family and working on sewing projects. I am thrilled to work here and to contribute to the wellness of your pets. As the lead receptionist, I aim to keep our clients well-informed and offer support during challenging times.

Jordan

Client Care Coordinator & Social Media Content Creator

I graduated from Western Michigan University with a degree in Digital Marketing and enjoy bringing creativity into everything I do at Care.  As a receptionist, my goal is to make each visit smooth and welcoming for you and your pets. Whether I’m assisting clients, conducting daily communications or contributing to digital projects, I approach every interaction with patience, compassion, and empathy.

Outside of work, I spend time with my two cats, Willow and Whiskey, who keep life fun and unpredictable. I love going to concerts, playing video games with friends, and enjoying time with my family. I've always had a love for animals, so being able to connect with them, support their health journeys, and create lasting memories at the clinic, has truly been a dream come true.

Aaron

Veterinary Assistant

I graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in Veterinary Nursing and take great pride in using my skills to assist with your pet’s needs. Providing compassionate care is my priority, and I always look forward to serving with dedication and expertise.

Outside of work, music has always been a significant part of my life, as a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church I play the trombone in the church brass band and sing in the choir.  I also enjoy spending time outdoors, diving into video games, and cheering on my favorite sports teams.  At home, my two adventurous cats, Luna and Rosie, ensure there’s never a dull moment!

Mary

Client Care Coordinator

As one of the Customer Care Coordinators, I truly look forward to supporting our clients and their pets. My husband, Steve, and I have been married for 32 years, and we have two grown sons. We relocated to the Millington area in 2023 after spending many years living and raising our family in the metro Detroit area.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, gardening, and spending time outdoors with my five chickens. I'm currently planning my next big project - adding fencing to our property so I can pursue my longtime dream of owning horses. I absolutely love horses!
