I started as a Pet Care Assistant in 2011 before progressing to Pet Care Manager in 2019.
My love for animals has sparked my passions of horse riding, enjoying the countryside and being a past owner of whippets, lurchers, and retired grey hounds. Currently I am the owner of 2 beautiful rats named Blossom and Daisy, and 2 cheeky rabbits called Percy and Peanut.
This in turn has carried me through work-life ensuring all pets staying with us are receiving optimum care and attention.
