She enjoys following equestrian sports, gardening & hanging out with her two favourite kitties Scotti & Paddy.

Rachel

Rachel has been working for CareVets in front of house since COVID lockdowns were the norm (it made for interesting and fast learning). In her past life she worked at the SPCA for over 20 years in various roles, having completed the ‘Animal Welfare and Investigations’ certificate at Unitec. Her family pets at present include two cats, and two bonded bunnies, all adopted from the SPCA. In her spare time, the little she has with kids, Rachel likes to read, tramp with her friends and forage for rabbit food.

When she’s not working Rosie loves to spend time outdoors doing fun and exciting activities, catching up with family, friends and pets and loves to watch a good show or movie on a rainy day. She has a fluffy cat at home named Sox who loves to come find Rosie whenever she moves about the house and won’t say no to one of her favourite cat treats. Come in and say hi!
