Advanced services
We have invested considerably in our team and kit to make a number of advanced services available to our clients. We also accept referrals from other veterinary practices.
Orthopaedics
Our veterinary team have undertaken advanced training to allow us to perform orthopaedic surgery in our practice. If your pet develops an abnormality involving their skeleton or joints, such as elbow dysplasia, a patella (kneecap) that gets stuck, or a torn cruciate ligament, an orthopaedic procedure may help them.
Laparoscopy surgery (keyhole surgery)
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique to explore the abdomen with two to three small ‘keyhole’ incisions. We are pleased to have invested considerably in our team and kit to make minimally invasive surgery available to our clients.

Dr Eric Rouviere
Practice Owner & Veterinary Surgeon
CertSAS GPCertSAS Advanced Practitioner Small Animal Surgery
Hi, I’m Eric, Vet & Practice owner. I wanted to be a Vet from a very early age and have always loved being around animals. I gained my Veterinary degree at The University of Madrid and very soon after made the UK my permanent home. I have a particular passion for surgery and whilst working as a full time vet in a small animal hospital, I achieved my Certificate in Small Animal Surgery accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. I am also an RCVS Advanced Practitioner in small animal surgery. I have previously run a successful Soft Tissue Referral Service in Doncaster and I’m excited to now offer a range of orthopaedic and soft tissue referral services here in Rotherham and the surrounding areas, as well as being able to provide most of these procedures and associated care to my own clients and patients without the need for referral in many cases.
I am also pleased to be able to offer laparoscopy (keyhole) surgery procedures, from keyhole spays and retained testicle castrations to more advanced laparoscopy assisted surgeries like gastropexies, cystotomies, liver biopsies,..., as this allows for much more delicate tissue handling and magnification (so can see things better) and without the need for much larger incisions/wounds in the abdomen, which leads to reduced pain, less risk of complications, etc...
I am proud to be an approved assessor for the "Respiratory Function Grading" Scheme by The Kennel Club and Cambridge University for Brachycephalic dogs, as I want to help them by trying to stop the 'normalisation' of the common health problems these dear little dogs are forced to endure because of selective breeding for the flattest and widest possible face. Yes, these things are so common that it is rare that a brachycephalic does not suffer one or more inherited defects, but this does not mean we should accept this as being ok. I can assess your dog’s breathing and provide guidance to help him/her to have as healthy and happy life as possible.
I live in Doncaster with my Wife and two young children and Saffy, our Cocker Spaniel. As a pet owner myself, I am passionate about providing the highest standards of care for the animals that I treat and their owners.
I was born in Scunthorpe many, many years ago - or so the nurses keep telling me. I qualified in 1996 from Bristol University. I came back to South Yorkshire in 2003 and have worked in the area since then. I started working at Vets4Pets with Eric in September 2021 and love it here, we have a great team of staff and work hard together.
We’ve three dogs at home right now and one cat. I get the blame for the spaniel we have - she is obsessed with me but does love everyone when I’m not around. As I write this, I’m being teased by a photo of a massive guinea pig run for our dining room by my wife as we normally have at least one or two in the house. Oh, and there are some (human) kids in the house to complete the mix.
Outside of work I love to be in the kitchen or outside cooking food. The last year I’ve not done so much as we have been doing a refurbishment of our house, which I have really enjoyed doing. When we get time, we love to go to the Yorkshire coast to relax as a family and enjoy some good fish and chips.
Hello! I'm Susana B. Hansen, and I graduated from the University of Santiago de Compostela in 2015. Throughout my career, I have developed a strong passion for internal medicine and endocrinology. Outside the clinic, you can find me tending to my vegetable garden or hiking scenic trails with my loyal companion, Perry Lee.
Hi everyone! My name is Louise (pictured here with my twin sister's dog Loki who definitely lives up to his name as a master of mischief!) I was born in London and spent the majority of my childhood growing up abroad. I enjoy all aspects of work as a small animal vet but have a particular interest in diagnostic imaging. I qualified from Nottingham Vet School in 2020 and relocated to Rotherham in 2021. Before completing my veterinary degree I studied Human Sciences at UCL in London. During my time at Nottingham I worked with Dogs Trust on a Masters of Research project looking at the impact of the Human-Companion Animal Bond between people and their pets - so I really do understand how pets can play such an important role in our lives and are very much part of the family.
Outside of work I enjoy playing netball, scuba diving as well as running and hiking in the peak district. At home I live with my 3 dogs; Shadow the black Labrador, Hank the Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Reia the Turkish Kangal, as well as my other half who fortunately loves animals almost as much as I do! We love nothing more than exploring the outdoors both by land and sea! I look forward to meeting you all soon!
Hello, I'm Hannah. I qualified as a veterinary nurse from Middlesex University in 2024. I really find it to be a very rewarding career, and I enjoy all aspects of the job. I'm particularly interested in anaesthesia and surgical nursing.
I love all animals but have a particular soft spot for Spaniels, especially English Springers after having owned them most of my life.
Caring for my pets over the years is really what led me to become a vet nurse.

My name is Chloe, I have been at Rotherham Vets for Pets since mid 2025. I am RVN who has a deep love for animals especially my cheeky kitty Tansey. I have a love for all things behaviour. My interests outside of work is macrame and variety of other crafts.
Hi I’m Jess, I have been a veterinary care assistants here at Rotherham Vets for Pets and I am starting my Veterinary Nurse training this September. I’ve loved animals from a very young age and I’m so excited to kick-start my long life career in the veterinary world.
I have two fur buddies, my rescue dog Ozzy from Bosnia who is a lab cross and my tabby cat, Gizmo.
My hobbies include baking, travelling, going out with friends, binge watching new Netflix series’ and exploring new dog walking places. My favourite part of the job is, assisting the nurses with the animals and ensuring they’re at ease and comfortable within their visit. Also, I love that every day is not the same and we get to meet new furry friends everyday
Hi, I’m Chloe and I was a veterinary care assistant at Rotherham Vets4Pets. I loved it so much I decided to train as a Student Veterinary Nurse! I have owned and loved animals all my life and have always wanted to work with them, I’m so lucky to be able to call this my job!
I have completed my HNC in Animal Management and I loved doing this as we had animals on site, including meerkats, alpacas and even an armadillo! I hope to one day qualify as a Registered Veterinary Nurse.
My favourite past times are two polar opposites…either out walking and exploring with my dog Cassie or snuggling in bed with my kitties Abel and Ares (Cassie also likes to join in with the snuggles, she has no aspect of personal space, much to Ares’ despair!)
Let me introduce you to Bailey, my faithful furry friend of 19 years.
We used to enjoy long walks in the countryside but in recent times prefer chilling in the sunshine in the garden and taking easy day trips to the coast....we are both getting on a bit
In my spare time (when I do manage to find some..) I enjoy landscape photography and reading a good crime novel.
I have had the pleasure of working alongside Eric and the team at vets4pets Rotherham for the last 2 years as practice manager.
There's never a dull day and I get the added bonus of plenty of furry cuddles from our 4 legged friends.
*Since writing this Bailey has sadly passed on but his memory lives on*
