Our Team:
Rowan graduated with the class of 2016 from the University of Glasgow and worked in mixed practice in England for four years before making the move to New Zealand. She packed away her gumboots and joined the CareVets Johnsonville team in September 2020 to concentrate on her small animal career path. Rowan particularly enjoys continuity in the vet clinic and loves following animals throughout their many life stages and really getting to know them as individuals, helping their owners to make the best decisions to keep their pets as healthy and happy as possible along the way. Rowan loves the variety offered in small animal practice and has equal interests in surgery and medicine. She has a dearly missed cat of her own, Skye, back in Scotland who she keeps in touch with regularly and sends her a card and a present every year for her birthday and Christmas. Skye has been brought up very well and always sends a video message to say thank you! When not at work Rowan likes to keep fit and active and you will find her out and about hiking, running, biking or climbing whilst exploring the rest of the country. She also enjoys socialising with friends and likes nothing better than sitting back with a cold pint after a day of activities or finding a new cafe and enjoying a good cake.
Claudia started with us in 2023 as our Lead Veterinary Nurse before becoming the Clinic Coordinator in 2024. Claudia enjoys surgical nursing and helping teach people how to best care for their sick animals. Claudia has a collie x kelpie named Bowie who comes to work with her most days.
Mikaela started working at CareVets Johnsonville in 2020 progressing to Lead Veterinary Nurse in 2024. Mikaela loves interacting with clients and helping them to provide the best possible care for their much loved pets. She has a particular interest in monitoring anaesthesia and assisting with surgical procedures, emergency medicine and procedures, and diagnostic testing. She is particularly interested about learning more about interpretation of test results and how to care for her patients based on these findings. Mikaela has a dearly loved cat called Masina who she adopted from CareVets Johnsonville when she was a kitten.
Faith joined the CareVets team in July 2024 as a full time Veterinary Nurse, recently graduating with a Diploma in Veterinary Nursing at UCOL Palmerston North.

Jade graduated from UCOL Manawatu with the Diploma of Veterinary Nursing at the end of 2021, joining the CareVets team in June 2022. She has a passion for all things animal related and enjoys being able to make bonds with all animals that come in and help owners with any advice they need to help look after their pets. Jade is looking forward to expanding her knowledge in all things Veterinary Nursing, especially emergency medicine! When not working she enjoys spending time with friends or at home, reading a book or watching movies. Jade has two cats, a Ragdoll called Atlas and a Ragdoll x Burmese, Sol.

Kaitlyn joined the team in December 2020 as a part-time Retail Assistant. Kaitlyn is no stranger to the team and has been an extended team member for some time, so we were pleased to make it official and welcome her on board.
