Irvine Vets4Pets

I qualified from Glasgow Vet School in 2000 and have been working in small animal practices in Ayrshire since then. I have been a partner at Vets4pets Ayr since 2011 and am excited to be part of the new surgery in Irvine. I aim to provide an excellent standard of veterinary care to our patients and look forward to meeting you. I enjoy all aspects of my work but have a particular interest in all types of surgery and rabbit medicine. Outside work I enjoy riding my horse Obi and relaxing at home with my dogs Blue a red collie, Beryl the merle collie, Harry the rescue cat and my ever expanding collection of chickens!

I qualified from Glasgow University in 2015 and started working in Ireland shortly after. I have just returned home to Ayrshire after spending 2 years in Northern Ireland working in mixed practice. Although I loved working in mixed practice my passion lies with small animals so I am looking forward to being able to focus my time on both medicine and surgery cases.

At home I have 2 dogs, Ruby the Lab and Tillie who I rescued from a local charity a few years ago.

I am excited to be back home and cannot wait to meet all our clients.

Hi I'm Catherine one of the vets - this is me with our black lab Inca. We also have a very spoiled silver tabby called Purdey. I love being part of the Vets4Pets team at Ayr and Irvine, even though I only work as a vet part time. The rest of my time is spent being a Biology teacher at Wellington School in Ayr. When I first graduated I worked with my dad, Clif Botcherby, until he retired - it was him who inspired me to become a vet right from when I was a wee girl and he took me out on farm calls with him. I also worked with Christian Veterinary Mission in Haiti, Nepal and Uganda.

I graduated from Glasgow uni in 2018 and started working in Stranraer soon after. I've recently moved home to Ayrshire and joined the team at Vets4Pets.

Outside of work I enjoy catching up with my friends and walking my dog, Gus.

I originally worked for Vets4Pets in Ayr where I qualified from in 2014. Since then I have worked at The Royal Dick School of Veterinary Medicine in Edinburgh where I got experience in all areas of the hospital through ICU, surgical/medicine wards and exotics. I have also worked for local veterinary practices carrying out tasks such as monitoring anaesthetics, nurse consultations and patient care. I then started locum work mostly around Vets4Pets surgeries which gave me a great insight into how each individual surgery works. I really enjoy running nurse clinics as I find them really rewarding and feel like it builds up a really good relationship with both clients and patients. At home I have 3 collies who I love spending time with and taking walks to the river for some fun.

Hi I’m Ellie, one of the Registered Veterinary Nurses.

I qualified in July 2021 from Harper Adams University and have worked at Vets4pets Irvine since. I enjoy all aspects of nursing, as no day is the same.

At home, I have 2 black Labradors, Rhu and Jura who I adore.

Hi, I am Georgina and I am one of three partners and the practice manager here in Vets4Pets Irvine. 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 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. ​

I have been with Vets4Pets since 2015 when I started at the Ayr practice. I have qualified as an Animal Care Assistant and worked my way up to my position now as client services manager. I just love meeting and greeting all out clients and their fur babies. Getting to know the patients is the highlight of the job and all the cuddles sure are a perk!

At home I have a cat, Barney and have recently become and mum to my gorgeous baby girl Louisa. She is now 9 months old and continuously keeps me smiling. 

I’m Niamh, I have been with Vets4Pets as a client care advisor since early 2021. Previous to working in the practice I worked in retail management and am grateful to now be in a job where I can combine my passion for animals with my skills I’ve developed in previous roles. I love getting to know all of our clients and cuddling all the fur babies is certainly a highlight of the job! 

At home I have 3 dogs; my whippets Flynn and Ivy and my little Italian greyhound Perrie, who only has 3 legs. I also have a Syrian hamster named Nigel.

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!​

Hi I’m Dom!

I started working at Vets4Pets in Irvine at the beginning of 2022 and I’m really enjoying my role. At home, I have two amazing doggies, my precious beagle Cloud and beautiful brown eyed, white Siberian husky, Sif. I spend a lot of my spare time with my dogs and my partner, Ben.  We go on a lot of fun nature walks where we get to explore. I am a huge animal lover and I’m planning on becoming a Vet Nurse.

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.

I’m Natasha! I have been part of the Vets4Pets team since November 2022. I have around 7 years of customer service experience which I’m excited to combine with my love of pets. I’m looking forward to getting to know all our clients.

At home, I’ve got a 15 year old bearded collie, Coco, who runs the house.

Away from work, I’m completing my masters in chemistry, so to relax I enjoy travelling to new places.
