Oadby Vets for Pets

I qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in 2007 and joined the team at Oadby in 2010. I was appointed as joint Director in 2012 before taking over completely in 2020 when Jackie, retired.

I hold post graduate certificates in small animal surgery and clinical animal behaviour and am also a qualified veterinary acupuncturist. Along with Jo, I am the practice's Graduate Development Phase Mentor supporting young vets in the first years in the profession. I am an OV which also allows me to complete pet exports and Animal Health Certificates.

I am very much a GP vet at heart and enjoy the huge variety that working in first opinion practice brings along with the additional challenges of owning and managing a busy clinic. 

I'm immensely proud to head up our phenomenal team and watch the passion, dedication and care they all bring to the practice. This culminated in us being nominated for Practice Of The Year in 2023 and coming runners up!

I graduated from Nottingham University and joined the practice in 2020. I have a gorgeous (and very scruffy!) terrier called Tinker, who I adopted in 2012 and he is my world.  He’s been blind since he was 5 and had to have both of his eyes removed when he was 8. Not that he’s ever let it bother him, as he still loves to play football!

I also have a lovely little black and white cat, who came to stay with me as a “foster” after being handed in to the practice as a stray. She quickly wiggled her way into my heart and has become a permanent member of the family, who loves snuggles, chin scratches and sprawling in the sun!

Outside of work I love exploring and going for walks, the countryside is definitely my happy place!

I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2022 and joined Oadby Vets for Pets shortly after. I love all aspects of Veterinary Medicine across all species, but especially enjoy dentistry and ophthalmology.

I have a gorgeous staffy called Jupiter who is my entire world, she inspires me every day to help animals to the best of my ability.

In my free time I really enjoy reading and collecting books and minerals, learning languages, arts & crafts, gardening, and taking my Jupi on adventures in the sunshine.

I qualified from the University of Surrey in 2023. I have a keen interest in surgery so I spent some time volunteering at a spay and neuter clinic in India just before I started at the practice. I’ve also spent some time in South Africa volunteering with local wildlife vets to support the work involved in the conservation of endangered species like rhinos. 

Outside of work I enjoy travelling and finding new places to explore for hikes, making sure to find a nice cafe to stop for cake and coffee! 

I joined the Practice in 2007.
I live with my gorgeous cat Paddy. Oh and my husband Jay! I enjoy Pilates and running - generally keeping fit. I love spending time with family and friends socialising.
I love every part of my job and I cannot say that I have a particular interest in just one area but I do love consultations and being able to help clients with any problems they may have with their pets. My priority is making sure that all of our in-patients are cared for to the highest standards on a daily basis.

I joined the Practice in 2004.
I'm married with 2 children and have a Bedlington terrier called Curtis who you may have seen on our social media page as I help run it. I enjoy travel, live music events and dining out.
I enjoy all aspects of being a Veterinary Nurse and just working in a fun happy team and looking after some fantastic patients is enough.

I joined the practice in 2018.

I’ve been nursing for a few years, doing a mixture of referral and first opinion work and I enjoy all aspects of it. I have a keen interest in medicine in particular nutrition and inpatient care. I am hoping to further my knowledge in the future by gaining a certificate in nutrition.

I joined the practice in 2022

I enjoy all aspects of nursing with a particular interest in inpatient care and surgery. I am delighted to be back working with the team after 4 years away.

In my spare time I enjoy travelling, gardening and baking. 

I started at Oadby in October 2023 having moved from another Vets4Pets. I’ve been qualified since August 2021 as a Registered Veterinary Nurse after a career change from being a Marine Biologist.

I live with my husband, Dottie who is a Labrador x Collie and our cat Suzi aka ‘The Beans’. I enjoy many aspects of nursing and am continually trying to build my skills and knowledge to provide the best care and advice for our furry patients and clients.

Outside of work I enjoy pottering in the garden, crafting, seeing live music and visiting new countries.

I joined the practice in October 2022 after qualifying as a VCA in March 2022 at another Vets for Pets practice.

I started my student veterinary nursing journey in April of 2023. I live with my husband and our two cats, Fish and Chip. Outside of work I enjoy horse riding, all things Disney and baking cookies. I love all aspects of veterinary nursing but I especially enjoy being in theatre and hope to one day undertake an anaesthesia and analgesia certificate. 

I am currently at sixth form, studying for A-Levels in Biology, Chemistry and Maths. I began seeing practice at Oadby about a year ago, after deciding that I wanted to pursue a career as a veterinary surgeon. In August last year, I started a Saturday job as a Veterinary Care Assistant. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the guitar and the piano, going out with my friends, and playing with my two cats, Phoebe and Alex. 

Joined the Practice in 2010.
I live locally with my husband, son and "fur" daughter (ginger ninja cocker spaniel Sandy!!)
I love all our furry customers! Especially FERRETS! We do not get that many in so I always give them a special ferrety fuss when we do.

I joined Oadby in July 2024, and have the role of Practice Administrator. I look after all of our day-to-day admin, and love the changes and challenges my role brings.

Me and my partner have two beautiful cats. Alfie, our two-year-old ginger and white boy, who follows me around like the fluffiest ginger shadow. Sidney, our one-year-old tabby is a pampered ball of chaos, who can never decide if she loves attention or food more!

I enjoy spending my time reading, painting and playing tabletop games, anything that two boisterous cats can interrupt!

I joined the practice October 2022 after transferring from another Vets for Pets in Sheffield. 

I have returned home back to Leicester with my retired racing greyhound, Romeo (Racing name was Romeo Superhero!),  who I adopted in 2018 from the Greyhound Trust. I used to volunteer at the trust every week to walk and groom the Greyhounds and loved it!

In my spare time I am a freelance illustrator/artist specialising in fantasy themed art and pet portraits but I also love playing video games, exploring new places and walking with Romeo. 

The best thing I enjoy about working at Vets for Pets is meeting the clients and the variety of pets we have attending the practice daily - even better when I can get pet cuddles too!
