Hayley came to work at CareVets in 2020 while studying to become a veterinary nurse after a career change from shepherding. She has always loved animals and knew from a young age that she wanted to work with them in some way.

She lives on a lifestyle block with her partner and their two children — a boy and a girl — alongside Casper the cat, eight working dogs, and four horses. In her spare time, Hayley loves taking her horse to the beach for a ride and helping out on the farm with the dogs.
