Meet the team
Hi, I’m Leigh-Anne and I’m the owner of Vets for Pets Harrogate.
I grew up in the West of Scotland and graduated from the University of Glasgow in July 2000, and moved to Yorkshire in the August of that year. I’ve been here ever since! I took over the Harrogate practice in 2008 and have loved being here for the last ten years. In that time we have been RCVS accredited, and become a nurse training practice. The most rewarding thing in my career is getting to know our clients and their pets. Knowing pets from their first visit to their last is a real privilege. It’s lovely to see people every year and hear about their lives too and to see their human families grow up.
I’m incredibly proud of the nurses we have trained and find it incredibly rewarding to take school work experience students like Katie and Paisley and see them grow, develop and thrive. We have also hosted many vet students who feel like an extended family across the profession now they have qualified.
I have two dogs, Senga who is 1, and Hatty the chin-pin who was a rescue from Miss Mollies. She came in with a broken leg whilst heavily pregnant and I fell for her despite being a “big dog” person at heart.
Aside from running the surgery, I volunteer for Street Paws as an outreach vet for their homeless project, and am on the board for The Society or Practicing Veterinary Surgeons. I love writing so my role with them is as their editor and I contribute articles for their publications. I also answer vet questions for Pets at Home’s magazine and the coolest task I’ve ever helped with was writing a story line for Coronation Street - I was the veterinary adviser for the death of Great Dane, Schmeichel.
When I’m not in work mode I love going to festivals and being a bit of a music geek, and reading. The dogs and I also like to visit all the dog friendly cafes, restaurants and bars in Harrogate- it’s the most dog friendly place I know!
Hi,
I’m Nicola. I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2018 and have been working in small animal practice since. I started my career in Norfolk but have recently moved to Harrogate with my Norfolk terrier X called Beanie, to live closer to my sister. We are all enjoying Harrogate and how dog friendly everywhere is! I really love the variety of general practice and how every day is truly different. In my spare time I love to get out with my dog, spending time with my friends and family and arty hobbies like painting, sewing and embroidery.
I graduated in 2010 from the University of Cambridge. I started my career in mixed practice but have been dedicated to small animal practice the last few years. I’ve worked in Suffolk and Sussex and have now come back to the area that I grew up in. I enjoy working in first opinion practice and am interested in internal medicine, radiography and ultrasonography.
I actually don’t have any pets – I’ve moved around quite a bit in my journey back here – but I’m looking forward to having a cat when I’m settled.
Outside work I enjoy Lindy Hop dancing, making and seeing art, bouldering and getting places by bike.
I graduated in 2023 from the University of Surrey and enjoy all aspects of veterinary but I have a particular interest in small animal medicine.
I love working in first opinion practice and how variable every day is!
I am an avid cat lover and has her own called Princess who was a rescue.
In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, hiking and various crafts.
I qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in 2019. I joined Vets for Pets in October 2020 and was able to hit ground running in a busy interesting practice. I have a keen interest in rabbit medicine and nursing so I am wanting to specialise and develop in this area further. I have recently trained to be a clinical coach to support student vet nurses through their course both practically and academically. When I’m not in work I enjoy walking and exploring with my crazy Labrador Ozzy around the countryside. I also have two rescue bunnies Whiskey and Guinness who keep me very busy!
I qualified in 2017 as an RVN having worked in general practice since 2013. I worked at an orthopaedic referral practice for 3 years before moving to Vet for Pets in Harrogate.
I loved referral work and it has helped me improve my skills and level of care I can offer. I moved to Vets for Pets for a new challenge and have enjoyed every minute. The team are supportive and we all motivate each other to do the best by our patients and clients.
I am from York but have lived all over Yorkshire. I now live in a small village outside York with my dog Remus the staffie cross.
Hi, I’m Chloe and I started my veterinary nursing course and joined the team in September 2022. I’ve worked with a few different types of animals for the past couple of years, ranging from ferrets and tortoises to sheep and cattle. I qualified as a Veterinary nurse in 2024
When I’m not studying or in practice, I love taking my dog Daniel the Spaniel on walks with my family, working down at a local farm attraction or just reading a good book!
Hello, I’m Vicky originally from Glasgow but I’ve grown up in Harrogate. I started my nursing training at a practice in West Yorkshire in 2020 and qualified with a distinction in April 2023. I’m looking forward to being part of the team here and getting back into nursing following my maternity leave. I enjoy all aspects of nursing and how every day is different. I have a two cats Cookie a moggy, Biscuit a Main Coon and three German Shepherds, Clyde, Leo and Gregor. I’m looking forward to meeting all the lovely clients and pets here.
I qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in 2022 and since then have worked in general practice. I joined the team in March 2024 and love it here. In my spare time I like to go on walks with my border collie Lara and travelling as much as I can.
Charlotte
Student Veterinary Nurse
I have worked in the veterinary profession since 2007. I love meeting all the pets and their families, in happy times and also being there at some of the sad times. I have a working cocker spaniel called Gladys and a highland pony called Bannock. I am usually behind the scenes at Vets4Pets but will appear in a second at the sound of "puppy" or "kitten". I've met lots of pets over the years but one of my favourite names for a cat is Campuss. He was a rescue cat who was found at York University Campus.
I’m a rescue dog from Miss Mollie’s charity in Harrogate. I am a chin-pin, which is a cross between a chihuahua and a miniature pinscher. I was brought in to the surgery heavily pregnant and with a broken leg. The team fixed me up and after my puppies were rehomed (Roxy and Bean still come here for their vet care) I came to live with Leigh-Anne. Everything is very good as long as everyone realised I am in charge. My role in the practice is as office guard dog and I also work as an emotional support dog when people have sad days. I love getting involved in interviews too. Out of work, my favourite things are snuggling under blankets and prancing around before dinner. I have also been a theatre diva, playing Bruiser Woods in the HSAP production of Legally Blonde. I had my own dressing room and have had quite a big head ever since.
I have a 10 year history in the veterinary industry, and have spent this time as far North as Gateshead and as far South as Devon! I love the nature of veterinary care and enjoy the relationships I form with clients, patients and my colleagues. I feel it is what I was born to do.
My career started after a 2 year solo trip to Australia at 22 years old. I spent half my time working on a 1.2 million acre cattle station home to 19,000 head of cattle. I assisted in general property maintenance, hand reared orphaned calves, mustered on horseback, motorbike, in utes and helicopters, branded, ear tagged, de-horned, drafted, and inoculated cattle. The other half was on a 1000 cow dairy farm operating a 50 bail rotary where I became a pro in the art of cow pat dodging!
I am kept busy at home with 3 cats - Otter, Boopy and Gingey, a Bull Terrier - Magnus, and a husband.
I enjoy hiking, camping, gigs and food!
I joined Vets For Pets in early 2024. I worked for Dogs Trust for many years previously, as part of the education team running workshops for all ages on responsible dog ownership and safety around dogs.
My passion has always been with animals, but I also love meeting new people, so my role as client care advisor is perfect for me. I love getting to know clients and their pets, and thoroughly enjoy the busy pace here at Harrogate Vets for Pets.
I have many pets at home- 2 dogs- Nola and Odyn, 2 cats- Freya and Tyr, and 2 guinea pigs- Pikachu and Varok. My hobbies include woodturning, archery and axe throwing!
I have always wanted to work with animals and after completing my BSc in Zoo Management at Chester University, I have worked with numerous animals in different settings, both domestic and exotic. I love all animals big and small, particularly endangered wildlife, such as otters and big cats. I'm excited to expand my knowledge of small domestic animals at Vets for Pets and work with this fantastic team. In my spare time, I enjoy getting crafty, watching nature documentaries and playing with my cat Benji, who loves being the centre of attention!
Vets for Pets Harrogate is committed to bringing you affordable, high quality care via a modern, well equipped practice, including a lab, pharmacy, digital x-ray and ultrasound. Plus, on site car parking too!
