— Vet Nurse Services, Our Culture
 

Based in Auckland, New Zealand, our vet nurses are fully qualified, with many years of experience. 

Operating in Auckland since 2015, we help businesses and pet owners at home, work or play; offering MOBILE, MINDING, WALKING and HOMESTAY services for pet owners, and a LOCUM service for veterinary clinics requiring nursing staff.

We have a passion for making pet care accessible and stress free, by assisting with health care, exercise, and holidays.

Qualified in many aspects of animal husbandry and behaviour, we wish to help in any way we can.

 
 

Nurses

Bronwen Howells, Dip VN

Bronwen emigrated from the UK with her family as a child. She was raised on a lifestyle farm, where her love for animals grew strong, as did her experience with many different species.

She qualified as a vet nurse in Christchurch in 2000, and over the years, worked in many veterinary clinics. She also enjoyed working as a keeper and a guide for the Southern Encounter Aquarium, and Willowbank Wildlife Park. Her final position in Christchurch was vet nurse and practice manager for At The Vets.
Bronwen moved to Auckland in 2013 and worked as head nurse for Royal Oak Vet Care before beginning Vet Nurse Services in 2015.

Bronwen has a large interest in animal behaviour, and has continued her studies in this area. She also has a passion for animal rescue and rehab, which regularly has her tending to recuperating hedgehogs, wild birds, or orphaned puppies and kittens.

She couldn’t live without her large, furry and feathered family at home.
