About Zoe

My Background

When I was 14 I was told at school that I needed to find a work experience placement. I was lucky enough to get a placement in a local veterinary surgery. I had always shown a strong interest in animals. Whilst I was growing up I was a regular at the local riding school. I would bird watch with my dad and go fishing waiting in anticipation to see what wildlife we would encounter. So this choice of placement seemed natural to me. I enjoyed my time and got a glowing report which paved the way for my chosen career as a veterinary nurse.

I left school as a fresh-faced 16yr old and started my nurse training. I  soon discovered the job wasn’t about cuddling animals all day. After working and studying hard in 1996 I  gained my qualification as a veterinary nurse and until this day has remained in small animal veterinary practice (apart from a short break to have my son).

I am now entering my 30th year and still enjoy it as much as I did all those years ago. During my time as a veterinary nurse, I have found that my passion lies in preventative healthcare. I have undertaken further study, completed my Advanced Diploma in Applied Animal Behaviour, Feline, Level 5 with distinction and have also won awards for my work. It is here that my desire to start my own business started to grow, at first it was just an idea, a thought about how I could educate owners on providing a happy and healthy lifestyle for their pets. I then had the backing and encouragement from a good friend who pushed me to follow my dream.

My Philosophy

I currently have 1 dog, 1 cat, 2 rabbits and 2 guinea pigs, and so fully understand the responsibility and commitment it takes to give your pets a healthy, happy life. Sadly, our lifestyles have become quite busy in recent years, and so having the opportunity to help someone with their pet by saving a little time and stress can only be a good thing.

I want to share my knowledge and passion with others and help them to understand their pets’ needs, but in a friendly, relaxed way.

My Services

If your pet trembles the moment you arrive at the vet’s car park, or your cat disappears at the first sight of the carrier, you’re not alone — and help is available. I offer calm, stress-free home visits for services such as claw clipping and support with administering medication, helping reduce anxiety for both pets and owners.

Alongside hands-on care, I also provide feline behaviour consultations and Feline Environment Optimisation, supporting cats in their home environment to reduce stress, improve confidence and encourage natural behaviours.

You’ll also find a wealth of practical advice, tips and expert insight throughout my blog, all designed to help pets live happier, healthier lives. In addition, I work with pet brands, practices and animal organisations to deliver SEO-friendly blogs and articles, combining veterinary nurse knowledge with clear, engaging writing that builds trust, authority and visibility. Visit my services page to see how I can support you and your business.

The Future Looks Bright

It is with great pride that I announce I have successfully passed, with Distinction, my Advanced Diploma in Applied Animal Behaviour, Feline, Level 5 from Compass Education and Training.

Having previously passed my ISFM Certificate in Advanced Feline Behaviour, again with Distinction, proved to me that I wanted to pursue a career in feline behaviour.

Please feel free to contact me for help with any feline problems you may be having for a feline behaviour consultation.
