About Alex

Welcome, my name is Alex and I am an Australian trained veterinarian based in Blenheim for the next 6 months or so. I am here whilst my husband finishes a contract and I have a 13week old baby and a two-year old, otherwise I would be vetting! (yes, Australian veterinarian degrees are recognised in NZ - however it's difficult to work with a baby strapped to me!)

I have been a vet for nearly 10 years, mostly dealing with dogs and cats. I am trained in both general practice vetting and did approximately six years in emergency practice too.

I have three cats (a sphynx, a devon rex and a domestic long hair) and one dog. From my photos it would seem as if I'm a cat person, but I really do love dogs too! We are going to get a few goats when we get back to Australia - I can't wait for them to eat the blackberries on our property!

I am very comfortable and competent around all animals; I can give medications (including injectables, liquids, creams and tablets), brush and bathe them, take leads from their behaviours and most importantly, pick up when your furbabies aren't themselves whilst you're away. I'm available all day (within reason) and am happy to spend half an hour interacting with your pets twice a day. We also love to get out and walking, so happy to take them on our daily walk too if they're well behaved.

I am signing up for pet sitting as a method to give myself some pocket money and keep myself motivated whilst in NZ and looking after a young baby!
