Rebecca Taubitz
Rebecca spent a couple of years after high school procrastinating what she wanted to do with her life, trying her hand at office work and then gaining her Diploma in Beauty Therapy. Never feeling completely fulfilled, and always having a love of animals, Rebecca gained employment as a kennel hand in 2010. Within a few months she moved into a nursing role and spent the next eight years honing her skills and knowledge until in 2018 she moved on to a second clinic before joining the Tullamarine Animal Hospital in October 2020. With ten years of nursing experience now under her belt, the days are still filled with enough hard work and snuggles to keep Rebecca happy with her decision to pursue her childhood dream of working with animals.
Rebecca and her husband have two 11 year old Spoodle x Maltese sisters who are spoilt rotten and a Cockatiel that found a permanent home after coming in as a stray at her previous clinic.
Rebecca's tip for pet owners:
"If you don’t have pet insurance, creating an emergency fund for your pet can help ease those unfortunate times when surprise injuries or illnesses strike."

Cherie Proietto
As a child, Cherie would tell people that one day she would be a vet or vet nurse! At 3 years old, she would sing Elvis songs to her cat and dance with her fish! The only people that she’d agree to be friends with all coincidentally had their own pets!
In 2018, she left her office marketing career to go on maternity leave and decided to maximise her time at home by studying and following her lifelong dream of working in a vet clinic. Cherie is currently studying Vet Nursing with the Australian College of Veterinary Nursing.
Cherie began as a placement student at Tullamarine Animal Hospital when the clinic was first opened, and within a few weeks was offered a permanent position. She loves all aspects of her role, but especially loves being at the front, meeting and chatting with our lovely clients & patients!
Cherie is a Gladstone Park local who lives with her husband, 2 year old daughter, 2 staffies, birds, fish and hopes to eventually have a farm full of animals!
