About Us

Located in the heart of the Sovereign Hills community in Port Macquarie, Sovereign Vet Hospital represents a fresh approach to veterinary care. 

We're a female-led practice who are driven by a passion for comprehensive and compassionate care. We pride ourselves on being a locally-owned practice that's neither corporate nor franchised, focusing instead on easy communication, a high level of service, and treating your pets as if they were our own.

Jess started her career in veterinary nursing in a rural clinic in far western NSW in 2006, since then she has worked in both small and large animal practices in multiple clinics across NSW, predominantly in a large GP clinic in Sydney and dabbled in emergency and ICU. She has a special interest in canine behaviour and training. Outside of work she has been involved in breeding and training detection dogs for a range of different roles.

After arriving as a trainee and quickly progressing through the ranks, our much loved Ian has asserted his dominance within the clinic in record time.

Not much happens without his approval and we would be lost without his support, love and guidance.
