Dr. Laura Miller, DVM/CEO/Owner
Living my dream is the name of my game and I would love to share my expertise with you! As a private owner of Arbor Hills Veterinary Clinic, I get to work in a great environment that I have cultured. I practice the medicine style I want to and am not forced to follow the ways of the corporate practices, which are becoming very abundant. My approach to veterinary medicine is a proactive approach. I would much rather prevent a problem than find a problem and have to react to the pet’s ailments. I do this by helping to educate clients and my team. If my client’s understand and know what to expect and my employees can watch for signs that are concerning and report to me, then I can efficiently help that animal. I often get a thank you from my clients for spending that extra time to explain everything. So please if you don’t know or don’t understand I would love to hear from you so we can clear up any confusion! When I am not practicing veterinary medicine I am enjoying my time with my husband and a plethora of animals. I can be found delving into the dungeons of nerdy video games, outside playing with my animals, swimming or taking a hike with my phone as a camera or occasionally will dust off that Nikon in the closet. I also volunteer time to the Michigan Veterinary Medical Association as a board member and help other veterinarians in my district stay on top of the current news and debates.
Management
Kendra, VP Operations
As Vice President of Operations, I am responsible for the financial functions at Arbor Hills Veterinary Clinic. You can also catch my smiling face at the front desk from time to time. My love for animals, big and small, and fondness of numbers led to my career here. I went from being just a client, bringing my mastiffs and kitties here, to joining a hilarious and amazing work team.
Lance, VP of Administration
From growing up on a farm to living in the city, I have always cared for animals and invested in bettering their futures. I came up being captivated by animal documentaries, volunteering for animal shelters and pet adoption days, caring for my own pets, and petsitting for those around me. My favorite experience has been mentoring at the Wolf Lake Stare Fish Hatchery and learning about the fishery program. While seeking education, I studied biology and environmental science as I have always felt a connection to the field. I also dabbled in photography and enjoy trying to mash these connections together.
While here at Arbor Hills, I will strive to provide the best experience for you and your animals, including the boarding experience they have while you are away. Please let me know how we can best serve your family during their stay with us.
While not at AHVC I enjoy being out in nature or in the water with my partner and family of animals, including dogs, cats, leopard geckos, and corn snake, listening to music and dancing, taking pictures and helping with photo shoots, and now learning about the veterinary field.
Licensed Veterinary Technicians

Veterinary Assistants
Emma, Veterinary Assistant
It has been my lifetime dream to work with animals. Having grown up on a farm, my passion has always revolved around all thing’s animals. From a young age, horses have had my heart and have inspired me to pursue a career in Veterinary Medicine. My long-term goal is to attend Michigan State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. Outside of work, I enjoy hunting, fishing, running, and spending time with my dog, Pupperson. I am excited to have the opportunity to gain experience and knowledge from the team at Arbor Hills Veterinary Clinic.
Reegan, Veterinary Assistant
Currently, Reegan is attending Baker College: Vet Tech Program. Since Reegan was 18, she has been in the vet field striving to learn as much knowledge about animals as possible. Reegan loves to watch movies, being on the water, and hanging out with family and friends. Reegan has one dog, whom is deaf and two kitties.
Client Service Representatives
Amanda, Client Service Representative
Amanda is our part-time Client Service Representative. Having been employed in a wide variety of industries, the common thread across all their work has been providing stellar customer service. They join AHVC with over 15 years of experience in customer service, as well as a lifetime of caring for their own pets – from cats and dogs to snakes and frogs! They grew up mostly in Southwest Detroit, and lived in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti before settling in Jackson in 2020. They are extremely grateful for this opportunity to serve the Jackson community’s pets and pet parents. At home, they enjoy spending time with their husband and pup, playing minesweeper, and reading fantasy novels.
Kennel Attendants
Makayla, Kennel Attendant
I am currently a high school student at Western High School, and I work as a Kennel Attendant at Arbor Hills Veterinary Clinic. As a high school student, I feel so fortunate that I have the opportunity to work in a place where their goal is to help animals. I have always been an animal lover and I currently have 5 cats, 2 cocker spaniels and a tortoise. My goal at Arbor Hills is to learn as much about animals and their health as possible. I want to eventually go to Michigan State University to become a veterinary technician and work with animals for as long as I can. I’ve always wanted to work with animals since I was very young, and I’m so thankful for this amazing opportunity.
Dakota, Kennel Attendant
Dakota is a high school student who is starting to focus on his career future. Dakota wanted to come work for Dr. Miller to observe and gain experience to help guide his decision to one day commit himself to one of the most rewarding fields, veterinary medicine. You will see him helping in boarding, making sure all the pets are well loved and cared for.
