Catherine Rosie

I’m a busy mum to three and work for vetcare@peace and vetcare@home. I was born to love and help animals. From growing up in London, my dream was to work in London zoo! I moved to Derby due to family circumstances so needed to look into other options. Ive worked in many different jobs including kennels and cattery, vets, nurseries and pharmacies. I’m now working full time in the company and absolutely love working with the fantastic team we have. I also love to travel and I’ve traveled the world twice and lived in Australia. I’m always on hand to help with anything.

Sally Leivers

Having grown up among a wide variety of animals and bringing over three decades of pharmacy experience, Sally now plays a key role at VetCare@Peace—combining her passion for animal behaviour with friendly client support, and spending her free time exploring the outdoors with her three Dachshunds.

With a decade of experience building trusted relationships in a family-run pharmacy, Joe brings a deep understanding of how important pets are to the families he serves, supporting VetCare@Home & VetCare@Peace's mission to make veterinary care easier and more comforting.

Rachel Henderson

I qualified as an RVN in 2012 and since, have worked in a variety of small animal and referral practices, including 6 years as an ophthalmic nurse. As far back as I can remember I have always loved animals and had a menagerie when growing up.

Dr Kirstie Pickles

I am passionate about delivering the best experience for both client and pet in the comfort of their own home and enjoy the personalised care we can provide at VetCare@Home and VetCare@Peace. I also work part time at Harper Keele Vet School and run my own mental health and neurodiversity training company.

Dr. Ruth Robinson

I love working locally for VetCare@Home. It’s great to work in a small, close-knit team who, like myself, have pet health, welfare and quality of life at the forefront of their minds. It’s such a privilege to be welcomed into people’s homes to care for pets in their own environment.

Olivia Duffy

I have always been a little obsessed with animals and living on a farm I always had enough pets to keep me busy during my spare time. When I made the decision to move to a VetCare@Peace, I loved the idea of treating animals in their own home.

Alex Edwards

I have always had a love for animals. I originally studied animal behaviour at university focusing on wildlife, which led me to work abroad for blocks of time. I’ve been working for VetCare@Home since 2019. I really enjoy working in a close-knit team & treating pets in their own homes.

Louise Reeder

I started my career in veterinary nursing in July 2000, aged 16, just two weeks after leaving school. I completed an NVQ2 in Animal Care before progressing to my nurse training, qualifying in 2003. I have spent the last 19 years in small animal practice, carrying out a number of roles including trainer/ assessor of student nurses, stock control, insurance claim advisor, branch safety officer, fire warden and many more!

Dr. Cath Bennett-Williams

I qualified as a Veterinary Surgeon in 2001, from the Royal “Dick” Vet School in Edinburgh. I have an interest in small animal medicine, especially in dealing with chronically ill or geriatric patients, working to improve their disease management and their quality of life.

Nicky Crimlis

Whilst working in practice I particularly enjoyed caring for hospitalised patients and also wound management. After having my 2nd child, I started working for Pet Blood Bank, which is a fantastic charity that saves doggy lives every day. I continue to do this alongside my role at VetCare@Home. I enjoy working for VetCare@Home as I love working in the community, with different people and their cherished pets.

Dr. Joanna Ramsden

The aspects of home visit vetting which I most enjoy include being able to spend longer consultation times with each pet than in standard practice, and having good continuity of care, so that we can really get to know each and every pet and their owner well. I particularly value being able to give the nervous or elderly pets a stress-free experience.

Emily Parrott RVN

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2021 and have since had the opportunity to work across a variety of veterinary settings, including general practice, referral and out-of-hours Emergency and Critical Care. I’m currently working towards my certificate in Emergency and Critical Care, further developing my knowledge and skills in this area. Outside of work, I have a rather large menagerie of my own, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, a gecko and a tortoise! However, I’m a crazy dachshund lady at heart and am kept very busy by my six dachshunds. In my spare time, I love travelling and going away on holiday — particularly when there’s a Disney theme park involved! I also enjoy getting out for walks with my dachshunds and spending time with family.

Dr Emily Whitaker

BVMBVS BVMedSci MRCVS I grew up in North Yorkshire, aka James Herriot country, and after graduating from Nottingham Vet School in 2025 I joined the Vetcare@home team a few months later. My favourite part of the job is getting to build relationships with owners and their pets, and being able to provide care to patients without them even having to leave their beds. Outside of work I love teaching Maple, my utterly spoilt Syrian hamster, new tricks - she will give a paw on command!

Rebecca and George

Rebecca and George love being handled and stroked, bringing happiness to all that are involved with them.
