Having grown up in an animal mad family, surrounded by horses, dogs, cats and a host of small furred and feathered pets, Steph began working in veterinary practice aged 15 as a part-time receptionist alongside studying for her GCSEs. After completing A-Levels, she went to the University of Wales to study equine science, graduating with a BSc (Hons) in 2003. Over the years Steph's work in veterinary practice has continued and she has held a variety of roles in equine, small animal and referral practice, including equine veterinary assistant and yard manager, client accounts manager and practice manager. In 2012 Steph began studying for a post-graduate diploma (PgD) in veterinary physiotherapy at Harper-Adams University and graduated in 2014.

In July 2015 she and her husband relocated to Norfolk where she now works as a receptionist at our Watton branch alongside building a physiotherapy service for dogs and cats at the practice, and treating both canine and equine cases privately in her own time. In 2017 Steph completed her masters research project and was awarded a MSc in veterinary physiotherapy. Away from work she is also busy caring for her own dogs and horses, and is a keen competitor in eventing and dressage.

Up until 2017 Janette worked as a community midwife and had been for 25 years. During this time she volunteered at Wildlife Aid in Surrey, avoiding the TV cameras at all costs. She found it such a privilege to work there - feeding nightjars, deer, raptors and badgers and even bats. Janette keeps a range of domestic pets: rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, budgies, dogs, cats, hens and horses. She is an avid bird watcher, so moving to Norfolk was a great move. Janette and her husband love history, reading, music and gaining new skills together. Janette loves to crochet and crafting and cooking. At the moment she shares her life with four dogs, a cat, and four hens: all rescues. Janette is passionate about client care, and will be starting the Blue Cross Bereavement course soon.
