Hi, I’m Becky 👋

I’ve been a veterinary nurse for 15 years and have loved animals for as long as I can remember — especially cats! 🐱 At home life is wonderfully busy with my cats, dog, chickens and tortoise, alongside my two young children.

When I’m not at work, you’ll usually find me doing CrossFit, out running, or enjoying anything crafty and creative.

Working at Kelston Vets truly is a dream. I feel incredibly lucky to work alongside such an amazing team of people who are not only colleagues, but genuine friends too 💙

Hi, I’m Sara, and I’ve had the pleasure of working at Kelston Vets for the past three years. Before joining the team, I worked in several other veterinary practices, giving me more than 20 years of experience in the profession.

I’ve always had a deep love for animals of all kinds — big, small, furry, and scaly — and I’m passionate about caring for and protecting them. Growing up on a farm, my parents taught me from an early age to respect and care for animals, which inspired the path I chose in life and work.

Over the years, I’ve been lucky to own a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, goats, horses, reptiles, and even a royal python called Mushoo! My experience with so many different animals has only strengthened my understanding and appreciation of their individual personalities and needs.

I enjoy every aspect of my role, but I’m particularly passionate about surgical nursing and anaesthesia, where I take great pride in providing attentive care and support for patients throughout their procedures and recovery.

In my spare time I love spending time at home with my partner and animal mad son.

Did you know that May is Veterinary Nurse Awareness month? Here at Kelston Vets we are fortunate enough to have a great Nursing Team. Over the next few weeks we will be introducing you to our Nurses so you can find out a bit more about them and what their roles involve as well as giving more information on Veterinary Nursing in general.

We would love to know if a Veterinary Nurse has helped you and your pets!
