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 love being here. In that time we have been RCVS accredited, and become a nurse training practice. The most rewarding thing in my career is knowing pets and their people from their first visit to their last; it is a real privilege.

 

I have two dogs: Senga the lurcher, and Hatty the rescue chin-pin. They are an odd couple!

 

When I’m not at work mode I love going to festivals, reading, writing and exploring with the dogs. We 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.

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've finally settled down local to the practice with my staffie cross and crazy black cat!

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!

I first started my journey in the veterinary world in December 2015, since then I qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in June 2018. 

My time has been spent in general practice caring mostly for companion animals but with the odd red kite thrown in the mix also!

At home I have Duke the six year old Boxer cross who likes to keep me busy eating things he shouldn’t. 

I have just joined the team recently but really looking forward to getting to know the team and clients.

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.

Hatti

Hatty

Office Dog

Read Hatty bio

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 started in the veterinary industry in 2014, 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. 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!
