Meet the Vets Behind Pet Voyage
Professional Expertise Meets a Passion for Adventure
At Pet Voyage, we believe that “pet-friendly” should mean more than just a place to stay—it should mean a safe, stress-free, and joyful experience for the whole family.
Founded by Dr. Sharon and Dr. Justin, two Brisbane-based veterinarians and University of Queensland (UQ) graduates, Pet Voyage was born from a simple observation in the clinic: Pet owners want to include their furry family members in their adventures, but they often don’t know where to start or how to stay safe.
Dr. Sharon
BVSc hons, MANZCVS (Small Animal Medicine)
With years of experience across specialist hospitals and multiple small animal general practices in Brisbane, Sharon has seen firsthand the challenges pet owners face.
“Throughout my years in clinical practice, the most common questions I received weren’t just about vaccines—they were about life outside the clinic. Clients constantly asked about managing pet travel stress, the dangers of 1080 baiting, and how to prepare for interstate moves. I realized there was a massive gap in reliable, vet-led information for Australians who want to travel with their pets.”
Sharon’s clinical background in emergency and specialist care ensures that every piece of advice on Pet Voyager is grounded in medical fact and safety first.
Dr. Justin
BVSc hons, MANZCVS (Small Animal Surgery)
Also a UQ Veterinary Science graduate, Justin shares Sharon’s deep commitment to animal welfare and the bond between humans and their pets. Having worked extensively across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast, Justin has a broad understanding of the unique environmental risks pets face across South East Queensland.
Justin’s mission is to move beyond the four walls of the consultation room. He believes that pets deserve to participate in more aspects of their owners’ lives—whether that’s a weekend at a pet-friendly campsite or an international relocation.
