Sam’s passion for animals started as a little girl on her grandparents’ farm with cows and sheep. She has completed her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing through the partnership of Greencross vets and Tafe QLD. Following her studies, Sam was offered a position at Robina Village where she did her practical work placement. Sam lives with her two cheeky cats Millie and Ivy and in her spare time is usually spending time with family or at the beach reading a good book.

Dr. Rob Swartz

Rob qualified in 2010 from the University of Pretoria in South Africa (Onderstepoort) and he worked in mixed animal practice ever since. For the last 8 years, he was fortunate enough to own his own practice together with his wife who is also a veterinarian. He treated all animals large and small including all of Africa’s largest wildlife species. Throughout his career he has developed an interest in small animal surgery, an area that he would love to further develop in Rob, his wife and two children have recently made the move to Australia and are really looking forward to new adventures down under. Rob and his family really enjoy the outdoors especially fishing, hiking, camping, surfing and spending time with friends. They are pet parents to Bolt the pointer and Tom the cat.
