Our Team

Nicole is our practice Principal & has been a hugely important part of Pet & Vet since she arrived in 2010.

A graduate of the highly regarded Veterinary Faculty in Hanover, Germany, Nicole made NZ her home shortly after graduating. Nicole initially started as a large animal vet in the Bay of Plenty before specialising in small animal practice here in Auckland. Nicole has the unusual mix of LOVING her consulting as much as small animal surgery. Nicole’s veterinary interests include orthopaedics & ultrasound diagnostics & when time allows, she can be found riding & training her two horses, Ayla & Evo or spending time with her family at West coast beaches.

Sharyn graduated from Massey University in 1998 & is mum to 3 lovely children.

Sharyn has a genuine interest in birds, rabbits & rodents & has two cockatiels, a rescue cat & a 140 litre fish tank at home to help keep her busy! Sharyn has a natural empathy with both the pets she meets & their owners & is very keen to get to the root cause of any health care problem she encounters. As a result, Sharyn has a very keen interest in diagnostics. When not juggling her own home menagerie Sharyn is a very keen equestrian who will often be found training & competing the lovely little mare she shares with the owner.

Helen originally worked at Pet & Vet about 14 years ago as a new Graduate from Massey, NZ.

Helen then worked as a vet around the world & has now come home with her husband & two gorgeous children plus a great post graduate qualification in Internal Medicine. Helen has extensive experience in both small animal surgery & consulting & she also very much enjoys ultrasound diagnostic work. Helen’s own pets include a rescue dog (Bruce Wayne, who can often be found helping on reception), a very opinionated cat called Trevor & a Blue Tonged Lizard known to his friends as Mr Crackles! 

Karen graduated in Ireland before making NZ her home in 2010.

Karen brings a wealth of experience in both consults & surgery to the team as well as her friendly & welcoming personality (& that wonderfully lyrical Irish accent!). Karen has recently completed a 10 month  course with The University of Sydney studying small animal surgery. Karen is very proactive in investigating new veterinary procedures & products ably helped by her PA, the wonderful Fox Terrier dog, Eire!

As Practice Manager, Hannah enjoys enhancing the relationship between the clinic and clients, with emphasis on making the clinic experience positive for all.

Hannah completed her Certificate in Veterinary Nursing in her home town of Nelson, then went onto a Bachelor of Science majoring in Marine Biology. In 2015 Hannah returned from several years in Greece where she had a horse riding school and livery yard - horses being a big love of hers. Luckily in New Zealand she has found a lovely Thoroughbred, Arthur to call hers and spends her spare time horse riding, doing yoga, learning Greek and (attempting to learn!) the guitar.

Katie completed her vet nursing studies in 2014 and joined the Pet & Vet team Dec 2018

Passionate about animals it makes sense she has so many! With 2 shih tzu x dogs- Shylan and Minnie, 2 rescue chihuahua's- Stanley and Roxy and a cockatiel named Roose she has her hands full, but Katie still finds time for her hobby- dirt bike riding.

Come on in and welcome her to the team!

Eve is originally from Whangarei and moved to Hamilton to complete her vet nurse certificate.

She also has a degree in zoology. She became a part of the Pet and Vet team in 2014 and has extensive experience in all aspects of the clinic. When Eve is not spending time with family and her Boxer Bulldog x, Stella, she enjoys competing in Roller Derby!

Hazel has grown up on lifestyle block at Muriwai Beach and has always been a huge animal lover.

Shes been surrounded by animals her whole life and turned that passion into her career. She graduated from Unitec in April 2019 with a diploma in Vet Nursing and we were happy to get her on the team straight away! In her spare time she enjoys walking on Muriwai beach and spending time with her family, friends, and pets- especially her two dogs Beau and Che.

​Fionn studied in Palmerston North at UCOL and graduated in 2015.

She went on to work on an organic dairy farm for a couple of years and, luckily for us, moved to Auckland in February 2018. She is now studying an acute diploma in homeopathy for animals.

Outside of Pet & Vet, Fionn spends her time with her 2 border collies, Bella and Loki and her wonderful husband.

Deana joined the Pet & Vet family in November 2018 having completed her diploma in Vet Nursing in Dec 2016

Deana loves the nurturing aspect of her role and sending patients back to their families happy and healthy. She has a special interest in the I131 treatment we hold at the clinic. At home she has a cat called Molly who rules the house- of course!

Anne's knowledge and love for all kitties- no matter what shape, size, colour or breed makes her a perfect fit in our little cattery family.

Anne has been a volunteer with the SPCA for years working in the Cattery, Cat Ward, Animal Recovery Centre and Hospital. She also fosters mainly the sick cats and kittens- putting so much of her time, energy and love into the animals she cares for.

As well as being a very talented groomer Kerry also enjoys providing the best dog groom experience your hairy family member can have.

Kerry takes pride in her work & the fact that dogs enjoy their time in her company.

Kerry has two beautiful cats named Woody and Harlow.
