Our Team in Kaikohe

My name is Jorrit Verver, and I completed vet school in 2009 in The Netherlands. During vet school I spent time at several renowned equine clinics in the USA and UK . Nowadays I am an all-round mixed practitioner and keen to tackle almost any case in any animal small or large. I have been with Bay of Islands Veterinary Services since 2017 and feel at home in the Far North. In my spare time I am a keen deer hunter and love spending time in the outdoors with my family.

Ross, who spent most of his life in Taranaki, has recently joined Bay Vets in 2024. With 30 years of experience in a mixed animal practice, focusing on dairy, he brings a wealth of expertise to our team. After living and working out of a caravan for 18 months, he is now relishing the comfort of a permanent home and takes pleasure in getting out on the boat whenever possible. Welcome, Ross!

Paul, originally from Auckland has a keen eye for detail and a tidy, methodical approach. While a mixed animal vet, he’s enjoying getting stuck into farm visits and building connections with local clients. Outside of work, Paul spends his time in the outdoors and enjoys hunting when he gets the chance.

Anne has worked with our Kaikohe team for over 25yrs since moving north from the Waikato. Prior to joining Bay Vets Anne worked with oncology patients in the human nursing field. Anne very much enjoys working in Kaikohe as part of an awesome team.

Rachel has been an important part of the team for over 25 years. Her experience and eye for detail are matched with her strong compassion for our patients.

Rachel has a lifestyle property she shares with many furry, woolly and feathered pets.
