Our Doctors

Our Veterinarians Are Dedicated to Providing Great Pet Care

Dr. Chris Michetti

Veterinarian

Dr. Chris Michetti received her degree in veterinary medicine from the University of Missouri. Her special interests include endoscopy and soft tissue surgery. Chris and her husband enjoy fishing, flying, and playing with their two cattle dogs, Pesto and Orzo.

Dr. William M. Willis

Veterinarian

The Pet Stop welcomed Dr. William M. Willis to join our team in 2020. Dr. Willis was born and raised in Anchorage and journeyed to the lower 48 after high school to pursue his dream of becoming a veterinarian. He attended Tuskegee University in Alabama for a bachelor’s degree in biology. During his studies, he worked as a research student for multiple summers and even returned to Alaska to work with the local moose population in conjunction with the University of Alaska Anchorage. After receiving his Bachelor’s, he then traveled to Indiana and attended Purdue University’s School of Veterinary Medicine. Graduating with his D.V.M., he decided to bring his talents back to Alaska to treat our adventurous pet population.

His hobbies include fishing, both down at Ship Creek and dip netting on the Kenai, and biking through the trails of Anchorage. He also loves to travel internationally visiting and exploring a dozen different countries. His interests in the veterinary field include preventative medicine, wildlife, and surgery.

Dr. Willis is a competent and hardworking lifelong learner with years of diverse veterinary-related experience. He is eager to collaborate with his fellow doctors at The Pet Stop and provide the best veterinary care possible for your pets.

Dr. Erin Earhart

Dr. Earhart has special interests in surgery, dentistry and geriatric animal care. She shares her life with her loving husband Will, son Henry, daughter Eleanor, and two yellow labs, Della and Millie Pearl. When not working, you can find her exploring Alaska with her family.
