Charlton Vets4Pets

Sinead graduated as a vet in Dublin in 2002 and became a partner in Vets4pets Charlton in 2006. Over the years she has been developing a keen interest in all types of surgery, both soft tissue and orthopaedic. She is passionate about creating an environment where all members of our dedicated team can develop to their full potential, providing opportunities for growth, training and post graduate studies. Sinead is a keen cyclist who will be out on her bike in all weathers.

Shai qualified in 2020 as a Veterinary Surgeon with a first-class Honours Master degree in Veterinary medicine. Throughout the past five years of study, he has developed a particular interest in Theriogenology (small animal breeding and reproduction) and internal medicine. He has become so passionate in these subjects that he would love to pursue further qualifications on them in the future.

Even though he graduated from Italy, he actually is a French citizen who was born and raised in Israel, where he obtained his first Master degree in Life Science and Biotechnology.

During his free time he likes to play his guitar and do gymnastics and in his own words he would like to say “Shalom everyone, my name is Shai (and I’m not shy).”

Dzuni qualified as a Veterinary Surgeon in the University of Pretoria; South Africa, in 2017. She began to practice in a small clinic in Johannesburg where she developed a strong passion for surgery and internal medicine.

In her search to gain new experiences she made the decision to relocate to the UK. Here she had the opportunity to travel around the country and was very excited to move to London and join our team to continue her professional development.

She has become addicted to puppy cuddles during her consults and loves spending her time exploring the city, going to the theatre and trying new foods.

Mateo graduated from the University of Milan in 2018. He worked for one year and a half in Italy in a Veterinary analysis laboratory and in a small animal practice, where he developed his passion for clinical pathology. He has always been fascinated by London and when he had the opportunity to embark on a new experience abroad he decided to move here and join our team.
In his spare time he enjoys reading, playing chess and watching TV series.

Fabio’s first venture into the veterinary world was here at Vets4Pets Charlton. He first came to the practice for work experience back in 2012, and following this he was lucky enough to be offered a part time position on the weekends, whilst studying for his A levels. Since qualifying he has become our Clinical Coach, and he completed his Certificate in Feline Nursing in March 2019. At Home he has two cats named Tommy and Trubble.

Animals have always been a huge part of Nikki’s life and she has owned a variety of pets over the years. Previously she studied at Westminster University and completed her degree in TV Production. However, her passion for animals led her onto a new career path and she joined the practice in June 2016. In January 2018 she started a course with the College of Animal Welfare to train as Veterinary Nurse. At home she has 4 snakes (including Tengu her 6 foot boa constrictor!) 6 geckos, a tortoise, a newt, 2 hamsters, a Guinea pig and lots of pet mice and quails!

Growing up on a farm Rachael always loved animals and her interest in their care led her to study Veterinary Nursing here in London. Back in Ireland, she has two cats and another dog who live happily with my parents in the country-side where she grew up. Her interests haven't changed much since she was young and as such she loves gaming, reading, and exploring with her animals whenever she can.

Ronni joined the team initially in August 2017 before transferring to another branch in 2018 to start her training as a Student Veterinary Nurse. We were very happy to welcome her back in our team in June 2020 to complete her nursing degree.

Before venturing in to the vet world she lived abroad for 3 years and during that time adopted Dolly, a street dog from Turkey, who she brought back home to live alongside her two Shih Tzu’s Macie and Belle.

After studying at Fine Art College and then going on to work in a busy hair salon in Central London Rheanne joined an amazing team here at Vets4Pets Charlton. As many people she has always loved animals and care deeply about their welfare. She has had pets since she was a toddler and couldn't live without them. Now she is able to work with them and in her own words “She is grateful for every day”. After being inspired by the staff here she knew after a short while that she wanted to train as a veterinary nurse and stay in this profession and environment forever. At home she has a handsome cat named Hex and 3 beautiful rabbits named Kiwi, Lychee and Blueberry roaming free around the house.

Chloe has always been passionate about the care and welfare of animals and always wanted to pursue a career in the Veterinary industry. She joined the practice in September 2015 as a VCA, after completing a 2 year course in Level 3 Animal Management. At home she has a beautiful fluffy dog named Riley who she loves going on adventures with.

I'm currently working as a Vet Care Assistant in hopes of expanding my knowledge and experience working with animals. In the near future I aspire to study veterinary nursing. I have always wanted to work with animals and this job has helped me confirm this. I've been surrounded by animals as a child and currently live with three 4 legged fluff balls (my dogs), a cat and a snake.

Sam joined the practice in January 2008 as a receptionist and worked her way up to Practice Manager in January 2018. During this time she has completed a Level 3 Diploma in First Line Management and is currently studying a Foundation Degree in Management and Leadership. Her priorities include providing our clients with excellent customer service and value for money, as well as providing support for all the colleagues. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends, travelling to new countries and having a go at baking. At home she has two cats, Jess and Ness who love getting cuddles.

Louise previously worked as a chocolatier for 8 years and also volunteered at a city farm, in May 2019 she joined our team as a Veterinary Care Assistant. She has always been passionate about animals and their care, having various pets herself over the years. Her guinea pig Freddie whom she adopted from Pets at Home is currently keeping her company.

She finds her role very rewarding, and feels so privileged to be able to care for our furry friends (some not so furry!) at their time of need. In her free time she likes to hang out with Freddie, enjoys going in long walks and gardening while watching nature around her.

Edwin was born in Venezuela and grew up in Florida where his love for animals began as he volunteered for 4 years in an animal shelter. He later decided to travel around the world and after 3 years he fell in love with London and moved in 2012. In his journey to continue his development in animal welfare, he volunteered for a year at the London Zoo and worked as a Veterinary Receptionist for 5 years in 3 private practices. He decided to join our team as a VCA as he would like to be more involved with the patients and to hopefully become a qualified Veterinary Nurse one day.

During his time off he loves spending time with his parakeet (mako) and 3 cats (Mushu, Finn and Cendra). He also likes going to the theatre, exercising and looking after his mini forest at home.    

Vicky joined our team in July 2014 and she enjoys meeting and greeting the pets that come to the practice. She has 2 cats named blue (In her photo) and Willow a beautiful tabby girl. She is also the owner of a rabbit called Bumble and tropical fish. She loves spending with her children and family as well as meeting with friends.

Elena joined our team in March 2017. She has a passion for the welfare & care of animals and has always wanted to be a part of this industry in some way. At home she has a dog called Remy who is 10 years old.

Josie has previously worked for many years in banking and accountancy. She was really lucky to get the opportunity to work here at Charlton Vets4Pets with all the wonderful cats and dogs in her own words “the best job in the world”. At home she has one very grumpy cat and is the proud lifelong fosterer of one 7 year old Bullmastiff!

Jess moved to London in 2014 to start her degree in Adult Nursing, but since she was very young she also had a passion for animal welfare. In search to be a part of this industry she joined our team in August 2019, where in her own words she can “Help one animal at a call”. She has 2 wonderful cats named Cleo and Arna and she would love to add a dog to her furry family. In her free time she spends time with her 2 children and she loves traveling up north to visit her family.

Nicola has always had a passion for animals and animal welfare and this role has provided her with a way to become involved in this environment.

At home she has a beautiful cat named Honeymonster and a playful Bulldog named Boris. She would love to say that they love each other but unfortunately Honeymonster just about tolerates him.

Outside of work she is very passionate about fitness and has ran in the London marathon 3 years in a row. She also likes baking for her friends and travelling around the world.
