Welcome to meet the team Tuesday, today we would like to introduce Georgia!

Hey, I’m Georgia, and the common places you’ll find me around the clinic are:
- Giving shoulder and head massages to patients
- Looking after the mealworm farm
- And whispering words of affirmations to anxious cats

Outside of work, my hobbies include loving my cats, gardening, crafts of all types and camping when the weather isn’t too awful. This past year, I became a registered veterinary nurse (RVN), which was my way of showing my love and commitment to learning and giving gold standard care.

Here’s what the team had to say about her:

Georgia is an incredibly reliable, efficient, and knowledgeable nurse who brings calm, humor, and good vibes wherever she goes. She quietly gets things done with precision and grace, often anticipating needs before they’re even voiced, making everyone feel at ease when she’s around. Though she has a tough exterior and takes no nonsense, she’s deeply caring, endlessly patient with clients, and delivers exceptional patient care.
A fantastic teacher and planner with a sharp mind and thoughtful heart, Georgia goes above and beyond for her team and friends—always stepping up, always giving her all, and always making the clinic a better place to be.

Welcome to another meet the team Tuesday, this week we are introducing Belinda

Meet Belinda, the resident Rat Queen and behind-the-scenes superstar at Pet Doctors St Lukes. She’s been part of the team since 2022, first joining as client relations before naturally working her way into her current role as Assistant Manager.

Belinda is known for her love of admin, her knack for organisation, and her genuine passion for helping clients — but her journey didn’t stop at the front desk. Along the way, she discovered a growing love for nursing, recently completing her Vet Nurse Assistant qualification and already planning to continue her studies next year.

When she’s not keeping the clinic running smoothly, Belinda can be found gaming, crafting, road tripping with her fiancé Jordan, educating people about rats or hanging out with her wonderfully chaotic cat Freya and her ever-expanding mischief of (currently) nine rats through breeding and rescue. Yes, she knows all their names 🐾💖

Here’s what the team had to say about her

Belinda is an incredibly determined, kind, and resilient member of the team. No matter what challenges life throws at her, she continues to work hard with a fighting spirit fueled by her deep passion for animals and veterinary care.
She is empathetic, thoughtful, and non-judgemental, always putting others first and advocating for both animals and their owners. A true “student of the game,” Belinda loves to learn and eagerly shares her knowledge, particularly her strong passion for rat husbandry and welfare.
Creative, talented, and highly capable in both admin and clinical support, she keeps the clinic running smoothly behind the scenes. Her warmth, enthusiasm, and dedication make her a joy to work with, and she is a huge asset to the team—we can’t wait to have her back.

Welcome to another meet the team Tuesday. This week we are introducing Kierrin…

Hi I’m Kierrin. I’ve been working as a nurse at St Lukes since not long after graduating, in August 2022.
I love work at PDSL, everyday is exciting and I’m constantly learning. I have a big passion for teaching and am in charge of the students coming through the clinic.
Outside of work, I love to cross stitch, game and hang out with my 3 cats and bun.

Here is what the team had to say:

Kierrin is a fun, positive, and incredibly capable super nurse who balances silliness with a strong work ethic — we just need to keep her from accidentally hurting herself!
She effortlessly supports vets, students, and the clinic as a whole, adapting to any situation with confidence, care, and optimism. A natural teacher and trusted teammate, she lifts spirits, gets the job done, and makes everyone feel supported and valued.
Beloved by the team for her energy, reliability, and heart, Kierrin is truly one of a kind and an absolute joy to work with.

Welcome to meet the team Tuesday!

Today I’d like to introduce Dr. Olivia.

With six years of experience as a veterinarian and two decades in the industry, I am an exotic pet purist whose work is dedicated entirely to the health and wellbeing of unusual species. As an Advanced Practitioner in Unusual Pet Medicine and Surgery, my lifelong goal has been to elevate the standard of exotic pet care in New Zealand.

I find genuine joy in building trusting relationships with my clients, ensuring they feel informed about every option and that the bond they share with their pets is always respected. Education is central to my approach—I stay up to date with the latest advances in exotic pet care and share my knowledge with veterinary professionals and students through both informal discussions and formal lectures or webinars.

Outside the veterinary world, I both learn and teach pole dancing, and I have a deep love for rabbits, horror movies, books and art, and heavy metal.

The team described Olivia as a hardworking, exceptionally skilled exotic animal veterinarian known for her sharp intelligence, high standards, and no-nonsense honesty.
She is dedicated to advancing exotic pet care in New Zealand and consistently pushes herself to learn, grow, and elevate the field. Though tough on the outside, she is deeply caring, empathetic, and supportive of both her patients and her team, always willing to share knowledge, lend a hand, or lighten the mood with her quirky songs.
Liv is admired for her integrity, progressive mindset, and unwavering commitment to welfare and preventative care. She brings strength, humour, and heart to everything she does—whether she’s championing exotic welfare, mentoring colleagues, or surprising everyone with her hidden talents, like arm wrestling and pole dancing.
