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!

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.
