"After graduating from the RVC in 2020, I joint the Portsmouth Vets4Pets team and have been here ever since. During my studies and while working here, I have gained experience with all aspects of small animal veterinary medicine but have a keen interest in veterinary diagnostic imaging for the valuable insights it provides and the opportunity to apply the latest advancements for the benefit of animal health. In my free time, I enjoy running and can often be found running along Southsea seafront."
![justyn](/contentassets/c5af0d4cb4eb480cb5848f64d0819e18/justyn.jpg)
I graduated in 2006 from Bristol University and I also have a degree in Zoology. I have wanted to be a vet since a young age, having been inspired by my Grandmother who worked for many years for the Cats Protection League. She would often have orphan kittens and strays to look after and it was her dedication to these animals that gave me the desire and motivation to embark upon a career in the veterinary profession. This love of animals was further reinforced when I spent my summer holidays from school working on a friend’s dairy farm.
I have always worked in small animal practice since qualifying and enjoy all aspects of veterinary work but particularly enjoy small animal medicine. In 2009 I completed a European School of Postgraduate Veterinary Studies Certificate in Small Animal Medicine.
Opening my own practice has always been an ambition of mine as it gives me an opportunity to offer high quality veterinary care to the animal patients and a personal level of service to their owners. I have dreamt about being part of a veterinary practice that is a real help and benefit to the animals in the local community and I hope that this is what will be achieved by Vets4Pets Portsmouth. I live at home with my Wife and two young children, and a cheeky Bengal cat called Freddie. I enjoy going to football matches and photography.

I graduated from the University College Dublin in June 2022 and joined the team here in August 2023. Before starting here I completed a rotating internship in a specialist hospital, where I got to see a range of weird and wonderful cases. I love all aspects of my job, and have a particular interest in small animal medicine and emergency cases.
![samson](/contentassets/c5af0d4cb4eb480cb5848f64d0819e18/samson.jpg)
I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2023. During my time in veterinary school, I gained experience in a variety of areas, including small animal medicine, surgery, and radiology. I am excited to join the team at Vets4Pets as a new graduate veterinarian. I have always had a passion for animals, and I am dedicated to providing compassionate and high-quality care to my patients.

My name is Louise and I’m Head Nurse at Portsmouth Vets4Pets.
I qualified in May 2012 but I have been in practice full time since 2007. I have always been passionate about working with animals and knew at a young age this would be my career path. The job is both fascinating and exciting and every day is different. Aside from Nursing, I also train Student Veterinary Nurses and am a Clinical Coach. I enjoy doing this as it’s very rewarding and gives me the opportunity to pass on my experience.
I have owned pets most of my life, and this includes my current cat Orion who is a very temperamental young man! As a pet owner I understand the bond between pet and owner and as a veterinary nurse I appreciate how much our animals mean to us all.
I have a particular interest in birds and wildlife. In my spare time I enjoy reading and spending time with my friends and family.
![Clarice](/contentassets/c5af0d4cb4eb480cb5848f64d0819e18/clarice.jpeg)
I qualified at Middlesex University in 2016 and joined the team at Portsmouth Vets4Pets in 2017. I most enjoy looking after hospital in-patients, helping them to feel as relaxed as possible to aide their recovery.
I'm a self-confessed crazy cat lady with a particular affection for ginger toms. My cat Sybil is full of mischief and likes to keep me on my toes.
![Cat](/contentassets/c5af0d4cb4eb480cb5848f64d0819e18/cat.jpg)
I am Catherine and I am one of the Registered Veterinary nurses here at Portsmouth Vets4Pets.
I joined the team in 2015 as a student and then qualified the following year in 2016. I have been in the veterinary industry since 2011, where I first started as a Veterinary care assistant and worked my way up to become a nurse!
I love all aspects of the job and I like to keep my hands busy! I have a keen interest in rabbits and have two of my own at home called Penny and Leo! As well as my pets, I have a young daughter called Lara who also keeps me very busy! Outside of work I enjoy exploring with Lara and spending time with friends and family.

Originally I joined the Reception team at the end of May 2021 following a complete change of career in retail optometry. Since then I have chosen to progress my career in the clinical field of nursing and have taken a position as student nurse (SVN)
The practice offers me different experiences daily with lots to keep learning all the time and keeps me very busy.
I am a dog owner myself and enjoy taking them on lots of adventures with my husband, exploring Cornwall is our favourite thing to do!
I am really passionate about providing your pets with a safe and welcoming environment and been here to help our clients with their precious furry friends.
![rebecca website pic](/contentassets/c5af0d4cb4eb480cb5848f64d0819e18/rebecca-website-pic.jpg)
I joined the team back in March 2023 as a veterinary care assistant and during my time here I have learnt more than I could have imagined! So far my favourite aspect of the job has been working as a team to care for our inpatients and getting to see them recover and leave the practice happier and healthier.
Outside of work I have two free-roaming house rabbits called Winnie and Mervin and when I’m not cleaning up after them I like to spend my time painting.
![Del](/contentassets/c5af0d4cb4eb480cb5848f64d0819e18/del.jpg)
I began working for Vets4pets in 2021 and have been so overwhelmed by the warm welcome from all the clients and pets.
I love the busy atmosphere and the opportunity to help pets and support their owners.
I come from a background in performing and qualified as a dance teacher in 2017 and I teach alongside my role here.
I have always had a keen interest in animals and this was only heightened when I adopted my cat Beau. With his placid temperament and fitting in with such ease, he encouraged me to get another and I ended up with a crazy, loud, but incredibly loving King Charles Cavalier Spaniel Nelly, they couldn't be more opposite.
They have taught me that all animals have such unique personalities and how I am a complete soft touch.

![Amy pic website](/contentassets/c5af0d4cb4eb480cb5848f64d0819e18/amy-pic-website.jpg)
I joined the Vets4Pets team in May 2022. Everyone, staff and clients have all been so welcoming and I have learnt so much from everyone already. I am looking forward to my future with the company.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and of course spending time with as many animals as I can.
![Cherry website pic](/contentassets/c5af0d4cb4eb480cb5848f64d0819e18/cherry-website-pic.jpg)
After working in retail and hospitality for over 15 years and managing a busy hotel reception for 2 of them, I then met and fell head over heels with my amazing fiancé who persuaded me to move from Bournemouth to Southsea and it was honestly one of the best things I’ve ever done.
I knew I wanted to continue working in a customer facing role and when I saw Vets4Pets come up I had a good feeling this would be the perfect job for me. I’m still able to look after people but not only that, I get to meet and help care for their lovely pets. With my love for animals and passion to help others I landed a dream job.
As well as looking after people and animals whether that be friends, family or customers, I’m crazy about music, have my own band and I write, record and perform in my spare time.
Since joining the practice in April 2024, I’ve loved every moment.
Everyone has been so kind and welcoming and I look forward to a happy and rewarding future working for Vets4Pets Portsmouth.
