Letchworth Vets for Pets

Hello, my name is Lenka Soffer and I am the Joint Venture Partner of the Letchworth Practice. I graduated from the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacology in Košice, Slovakia in 2001. After my graduation I moved to Israel where I lived and worked for five years. I love working with small animals but if I had to pick one species to be my favourite it would be goats as my parents kept goats when I was a child! When I am not working I love watching movies with my daughter, travelling and would love to try sky diving one day. I have three pets of my own; Bree the Cavalier King Charles spaniel, Bruno the Staffordshire bull terrier and Cous Cous the cat. !

Hello my name is Ayal Soffer! I graduated from the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacology in Košice, Slovakia in 2008. After working in a veterinary clinic I joined the army as a vet in 2010. I have worked for Vets for Pets since Oct 2015 at Luton Gipsy Lane and have recently moved to the Letchworth practice to work on Mondays and Tuesdays. I also travel around the country working as a Locum Vet so get to experience working in a wide range of practices. I have two dogs and a cat at home who I love. At work I have a particular interest in small animals. In my free time I love travelling, cooking and spending time with my family.

I graduated from Cambridge University 10 years ago. During that time I worked in both small animal practice and at a college teaching veterinary nursing students. I have two lovely Lurchers called Dave & Ghille. At the last count I had11 rats. I enjoy gardening, learning Japanese, art & exercising with my dogs. 

Hi I’m Rose, I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in July 2023 and started working at Vets for Pets Letchworth soon afterwards. I love meeting all our lovely clients and their pets, and helping them feel their best. At home I have two rescue cats called Ace and Rufus, and two rabbits - Ginny and Tequila. I love baking vegan cakes and spending time with family and friends. 

 I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon! 

Hello, I’m Francesca. I graduated in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Camerino, in Italy, in 2022. I very recently moved to the UK to start my job as a new graduate at Vets for Pets in Letchworth and got to meet all the amazing people from the team. Even though I love all pets, cats are my biggest passion and I am currently studying to get the GP cert in Feline Practice. Since I left my lovely tortoiseshell cat in Italy with my parents, I am looking forward to adopting a pet soon! In my free time I like travelling to new places, cooking, making crochet amigurumis, exercising to Kpop music and reading.

I have been a Registered Veterinary Nurse since 2010. During that time I have worked both in general practices and at referral centres. Prior to completing my veterinary nursing qualification I completed a degree in Animal Management and worked at a safari park, kennels and the college animal unit. I hope to eventually do conservation work abroad with Orangutans. At home I live with my partner, our little girl Isla and our Border Terrier named Molly. In my spare time I love cuddling up at home with my family and spending time with my friends.

I started working at Letchworth Vets for Pets in August 2020. In that time, with the help of my colleagues, I have succeeded in passing the Veterinary Care Assistant course. I am looking forward to starting my nursing qualification in January 2022. In my time here I have managed to rescue a stray cat, called Sophie. My two children absolutely adore her. I am very much looking forward to a long and Happy career with Vets4Pets.

My name is Rebekah and I have been a registered veterinary nurse for 8 years.

I began my career as a veterinary care assistant and instantly fell in love with the job. I am very passionate about anaesthesia, post op care and meeting all the furies during nurse consults.

After working in a veterinary hospital for 6 years, I joined the team here at Vets4Pets in 2019 and became part of the family. It is a fantastic team who all love what they do and I am so proud to be part of it.

I have two beautiful cats called Inca & Olive, a very happy and energetic 4 year old son, Leo who thinks he is a cat and a seven month old Daughter called Skye.

In my spare time I love going to the cinema, having meals out and spending time with my family.

I look forward to getting to know all the clients and their fur babies. 

 

I have been Letchworth Vets4 for Pets since June 2022. I am studying to be a veterinary nurse. My favorite part of my job is being involved with consults, either carrying out nurse clinics or helping the vets. It allows me to be around animals all day. Although they don't always like us it is highly satisfying being able to help them when they are injured or unwell. I also love meeting the owners & being able to support them even through the difficult journeys. I have 2 fur babies of my own, Luna a Staffie and a new French bulldog puppy called Lizzie. I am looking forward to meeting more of our lovely clients in the future.

Hi, I’m Jess. I’ve been working with Vets for pets for around 9 years now. I am currently working as a Veterinary Care Assistant but would like to start my Veterinary Nurse training in the future. Prior to working at Vets4pets I was studying a Level 3 Extended Diploma in animal management. At home I have 4 fur babies. Archie the whippet, Bonnie the Patterdale terrier, Bloo the Bedlington terrier and Vinnie the Hungarian Vizsla. I also have Chickens. In my spare time I like to go to car shows and spend time with my friends and go on long walks in the countryside.

I joined the Letchworth Vets for Pets team in November 2019 but only recently took the role as Practice Manager. There is never a dull moment. The team are always so helpful & friendly. I have two children who are in their late teens, a bunny called Houmous and a cat called Carrott. I really enjoy my job & love that every day has a new challenge. 

Being one of the receptionists, I think I have the best job in the world – meeting all sorts of animals and of course their owners! I have always been an animal type of person. I live at home with my son James, our big fluffy cat Mr Cole and we have recently got a loopy spaniel cross puppy called Fleur. When you are passing by please pop in and say hello, it would be lovely to meet you and your pet!

Hi I'm Lauren and I'm one of the receptionists here. I live at home with my husband and 2 young children. In the past I have had dogs, rabbits, gerbils and a cockateil. We are currently looking to adopt a dog to make our family complete! 

I've only been at vets for pets for a few months and already feel so at home with the team. I love the variety of my job, meeting different animals & people and look forward to meeting many more of you.

I started working at Vet for Pets Letchworth in October 2020. I moved here from Essex in 2019. I have gorgeous daughter and an awesome 2 year old grandson who I adore. I have a love for all animals but especially my cat Boycie.  

Hi I'm Helen. I joined the Letchworth Vets for Pets family in July 2022. I live with my partner & daughter and a very hairy Alsatian!
