Meet the team


Hello my name is Christine, I have been at Vets4Pets Ayr since the early days, starting in 2013. I graduated from Edinburgh Vet School in 2009 and initially worked in a small animal practice in Yorkshire but always wanted to return home to Ayrshire.
I appreciate being in a practice where I recognise lots of patients and have known many of them since they were puppies or kittens. For me, getting to know pets and their owners is one of the best parts of the job. It’s a real privilege to be able to provide ongoing care for so many wonderful animals. I enjoy being a general practitioner and the variety that the job brings. I particularly like working with cats and caring for our more senior animals.
Out of work, I am kept busy with my 2 little boys. We are frequent visitors to the local parks and soft plays! I also have my 2 loyal cats, Harry and Jack, who have been with me since I worked in Leeds. They are typical vet pets as they had injuries requiring surgery when I rehomed them. They are extremely pampered boys and are quick to claim any cosy blankets or warm spots in the house.

Hi I’m Catherine, one of the vets at Vets4pets in both Ayr and Irvine. I’ve been with the team part-time since 2017; and this year I returned to veterinary practice full-time after 10 years as a Biology teacher at Wellington School. I love my job - it comes with a rollercoaster of emotions, but it is a real privilege to be with clients and their lovely pets through good times and bad. I volunteer with StreetVet in Glasgow - they are a lovely charity with a real heart for the homeless. Outside of work my absolute favourite thing is travelling. I worked for Christian Veterinary Mission in Haiti, Nepal and Uganda which I really loved. Nowadays family trips with my daughter Logan and son David often involve supporting their dad Alastair competing in Ironman races. Our demanding cat Purdey likes to keep us on our toes; and our lovely Labrador Inca is one of our willing blood donors ❤️

Hi, I'm Caolan! I graduated from the University of Glasgow in 2011 and I’ve worked in Scotland since. I worked in mixed practice for three years before deciding to concentrate on small animal practice.
I have a particular interest in soft tissue surgery and I`m In the process of completing a surgical certificate.
I live in South Ayrshire with my Wife, daughter and two small terriers. Outside of work I enjoy hillwalking and mountain biking.

Hi!
I’m Grace, and I’m one of the registered veterinary nurses. I’ve been qualified for four years, and completed my training here as a student, so will be an old face to many clients and pets.
I love the many roles my job provides, in particular caring for in-patients, and anaesthesia tasks. I’ve also taken on a new role this year where I help to coach student nurses with their training in the practice.
Outside of work I have the family dogs - Kaiser and Nala, and ruling the roost of my house is my cat Luna, who thinks she is also a dog and will even play fetch!
I always look forward to each day at work as each day is so different, but mainly to see all your lovely pets! 🐱🐶🐰

I have been a nurse for 35 years now, worked originally in a single handed practice, mixed practice and finally a SA hospital in my hometown of Burnley, Lancashire.
I ran the nurse clinic inside the hospital for 20 years and finally made the long awaited move to Scotland 3 weeks ago hoping for a change of pace and lifestyle.
I have 2 grown up daughters, Mia 26 and Eve 21, an 8 year old Boston terrier called Betty and a teeny tiny 3 year old black cat called Creepy.
I love swimming, music and the adventure of outdoors. I play the piano and the drums and I have a couple of motorbikes to ride when the weather permits.
I was a dancer for 25 years but prefer to kick my heels up with friends and a glass of prosecco nowadays.
I am very much looking forward to the challenges of my new role at Vets 4 pets, and serving the people of my newly adopted town.

My name is Megan and I am a Client Care Advisor/student vet nurse here at the Ayr branch. I started my course at Edinburgh Napier back in September 2018 at the practice and loved working with the team. I was kept on after 1st year and now work on reception at the weekends! I enjoy both my roles in practice and can’t wait for the future as a nurse!

Hi! I’m Caitlin and I’m a final year student nurse here at Vets4pets ayr. I enjoy all parts of my role as a nurse but my main areas of interest are caring for our hospitalised patients and I’m really starting to love anaesthesia more as my confidence grows!
Outside work I spend most of my time with my horse, kiss who I’ve had for almost 11 years! As well as studying for my degree so I can be the best vet nurse I can possibly be❤️

Bio Coming Soon !

Hi, I am Georgina and I am the Practice Manager here in Vets4Pets Ayr. I started at Vets4Pets Ayr in 2013 when I returned to work from maternity leave, prior to this I worked in retail management for nine years before having my son Benjamin. I currently work across both Ayr and Irvine and my role is to look after our team of 34 colleagues, we have a wonderful group of colleagues who care passionately for our patients and clients and I am honoured to work alongside them. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and Cocker Spaniel 'Kingsley' (who genuinely is the King of the household)! I also have at home a rescue black cat called Panther who really is the sweetest girl.

Hi I’m Laura.
I am the client services manager here at the Ayr branch. I started as a part time receptionist in 2012 and gradually increased my hours to full time. I did some animal care here in the practice but missed being out on the desk dealing with our amazing clients and their pets. I was then promoted to client services manager 4 years ago and absolutely love my role. I have an amazing team of girls to lead. I love that each day is different and to say it is challenging at times is an understatement but I love it and could never see myself doing anything else. I love all of our clients and adore their pets.
I also organise our charity events throughout the year. I absolutely love seeing everything come together and raising money for incredible charities. Our most recent event was in aid of Whiteleys Retreat which was one of our best events to date!.
At home I have a handsome 4 year old Lhasa-x called Chase (my nephew Brody named him). Chase thinks he is human! He is my world and he is a regular on our Facebook page due to his mischievous side.

Hi, my name is Natalie and I have been working with the company for 5 years now and love my role as Deputy Client Services Manager.💫
I am currently on maternity leave after having my beautiful little Millie in August. I am enjoying every part of motherhood with two amazing little girls!
Ivy is an amazing big sister 💕💫
We have our main boy Coisty who is enjoying having his Mummy at home just now for extra cuddles and walks 💙
I look forward to returning to the team and seeing everyone pets again, we have such an amazing family bond between staff and clients and it puts a smile on my face knowing how happy the pets are to see us.
See you all soon in 2023 💃💫🙋♀️

I’m Louise and I have been part of the team since November 2021. I have worked in customer service for around seven years so being able to pair this with my love for animals has allowed a real enjoyment in my job.
I have two dogs at home, Baxter who is a fluffy cockapoo and Bailey who is also a cockapoo but is 75% cocker spaniel so is extra bouncy!

I’m Jade and I’m one of the client care advisors here at the Ayr branch. I love being part of a large and hardworking team, it’s like one big family at Vets4Pets. I have worked with animals for over 10 years and I can’t imagine doing anything else. I come home every day to my two babies Oscar the cavapoo and Brogue the English bulldog.

Hello, my name is Mary. I have been working for Vets4Pets Ayr for just over a year now in my role of Client Care Advisor and I absolutely love it. I have been obsessed with animals (especially dogs) for as long as I can remember, so working here is a dream come true. I can honestly say that the team here are amazing we are like one big family, always here for each other for laughs, advice or even a shoulder to cry on for those sad times that we unfortunately have to deal with.
In my spare time I am a busy Mum to my son Vinnie, who just happens to rock an extra chromosome and my two fur children Delta our dog and TT our cat. I often say that Vinnie is the best thing I have ever made in my life, he is almost 4 years old now. Just watching him grow up and develop his sassy wee personality brings me the most joy in the world. When I manage to get some time to myself I enjoy watching a lot of Ru Paul’s Drag Race and going to live Drag performances when I can. I am also a massive tattoo lover and I am currently in process of trying to expand my tattoo collection.

Hello, I'm Nicola and l have recently joined the Vets4Pets team as a veterinary care assistant.
I live on a farm in the local area and love being around animals especially my two Labradors named Cassie and Heidi.
In my free time I enjoy walking my dogs. I am a member of the local young farmers which I enjoy competing in a variety of events and socialising with friends.
