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.

Breeanna

Lead Receptionist

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.

Kylee

Veterinary Technician

Hello, I'm Kylee and I reside in Davison MI, I work as an assistant here at Care Veterinary. My love and passion for animals go as far back as to when I was a little girl, and my mom would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up? I would say I wanted to be a veterinarian and I couldn't even pronounce the word properly. I am currently enrolled in Ashworth College to become a certified veterinary technician. I have 2 lovely fur babies of my own! One is an Australian shepherd named Luna and the other is a Springer named Lakota, and they are my whole world! In my eyes animals have the purest of souls and deserve to have the up most love and care at the highest quality possible, and to provide that is my mission in life!
