Our team
Hi, I’m James, co-founder of Petals Vets.
I love being a vet; I love working with all kinds of animals, I love connecting with their owners, I love surgery, I love the complex medical cases that keep me up at night… I love it all! What a funny premise for a job, I sit in a room all day and people bring their favourite little creatures in to see me, what’s not to love?
After graduating from the University of Nottingham, I have worked in various hospitals, undertaken advanced training at the University of Cambridge, and I am now completing a certificate in diagnostic imaging. In my spare time I’m a big fan of football, practicing French, & vegan cooking.
Hey, I’m Billy, co-founder of Petals.
As a vet, I love that I have the privilege of supporting a pet's journey through life whilst getting to know them and their families. I love seeing a name on the consult list and instantly knowing the mischievous pet who’s about to trot into the room. So after years of dedicated service in various veterinary settings, I wanted to create a space that prioritises what really makes being a vet so rewarding — building real lifelong connections with pets and their families.
My special interests in veterinary are consulting, geriatric care, and nutrition, which I have a certificate in. Outside of work I particularly enjoy time with friends and family, anything music related, and powerlifting!
Hi, I'm Nikolina, I am one of the senior vets here at Petals.
I graduated as a vet in Greece in 2010 and have worked as a vet in the UK since 2016. My grandad was a farmer, and my dad a vet, so animals run in the family!
I have had the pleasure of working in several first opinion practices and as an emergency vet in 24hour hospitals. I always feel lucky to be able to work with all of our fluffy patients (or not... I’m looking at you Sphynx cats!) and their parents. I love being able to support our patients and their families through every stage of their life, from a new pet’s first visit and all the excitement it brings to the important decisions later on.
I have a strong passion for soft tissue surgery, the variability of day-to-day consulting, and my favourite, ultrasonography. Further to this I am currently working towards a certificate in Advanced Imaging.
Outside of the veterinary world, you will find me at art exhibitions, stand-up comedy events and doing the odd crochet project!
Hey, I’m Demy! I’m a registered veterinary nurse here at Petals.
I’ve known since I was young that this was the path for me, whether it was a pigeon or a bumblebee, I was determined to nurse any animal back to health.
I began working in veterinary practices in 2013 before moving into emergency hospitals, and I’ve loved the variety ever since. From anaesthesia to consultations and everything in between, every aspect of nursing excites me, though I have a particular soft spot for our senior patients.
I’m currently studying for a certificate in emergency and critical care, which allows me to support patients through some of their most complex medical and surgical journeys.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me at my allotment, crocheting, or walking with my life companion, Astrid.
Hi I’m Kelly-Anne, a Registered Veterinary nurse at Petals!
I have worked in the veterinary industry for 12 years. Before that, I volunteered with several animal charities. During that time I have welcomed a dog, many cats, and some guinea pigs into my life.
I have extensive experience working with stray and rescue animals. I have a particular interest in nurse consultations, helping owners feel confident with treatment plans and at-home care. I especially enjoy supporting our older patients and helping to improve and maintain their quality of life.
I am currently working towards a certificate in canine rehabilitation and hope to start a dermatology certificate to better help animals with skin issues, a problem we see very often!
I am a big film buff and go to the cinema at least twice a week! I also have a degree in art and enjoy painting and visiting galleries and shows.
Hi I’m Fiona! I’m an Assistant Veterinary Nurse at Petals.
I qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in Australia in 2022. I love the variety that comes with nursing and especially enjoy being there for patients during the more challenging moments - helping them feel safe, comfortable and cared for.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me playing football, looking after my ever-growing collection of indoor plants, or spending time with Stanley, my ginger cat. He’s very much the centre of attention at home and has me completely wrapped around his little paw!
Being a nurse is about so much more than treating an illness. It’s about building trust, giving patients a voice, supporting their owners and making what can sometimes be a difficult experience a little bit easier. I feel incredibly lucky to have a career where I can care for animals every day and be their voice when they need us most.
Hi, I’m Kevin! I’m a Veterinary Care Assistant at Petals.
I’ve been working in the veterinary world for the last 4 years. I’ve always loved animals, so being able to work with them every day is something I am always grateful for. No two days are ever quite the same, and there’s always a new personality coming through the door - some lovely, some a little chaotic, and some who definitely let you know exactly what they think of you!
One of my favorite parts of the job is building a connection with both the pets and their owners. It’s lovely getting to know people and their pets, hearing their stories, and becoming a familiar face they can feel comfortable with. I’m hoping to keep learning and building my clinical experience, with the goal of eventually training to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse.
When I’m not at work, I’m usually doing something music-related, whether that’s going to a concert or festival, or listening to Ariana Grande for probably longer than I should admit. I’m also a big fan of horror films, and I love going on long walks around London and finding new places to explore (usually with a coffee somewhere along the way).
Hi, I’m Kira, a Client Care Assistant here at Petals.
I’ve been working as a Client Care Assistant for a number of years, originally starting my journey over in Canada. Animal care has always been a huge passion of mine, and I love getting to meet all our wonderful pets and their humans!
I love that no two clients or pets are the same. Finding out what works best for each person and making sure they feel completely looked after is definitely the highlight of the job for me.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me staying active on the volleyball court or getting lost in a good playlist. I love discovering new music and unwinding with friends.
Hi, I’m Sian, a Client Care Assistant here at Petals!
I’ve been working in the veterinary world for a few years now and absolutely love having a job where I can be part of helping pets and their families. I have some lovely cats of my own, so I know the emotions that can come with pet ownership and how important it is to feel supported and cared for.
One of my favourite things about working at Petals is getting to meet so many different pets (and their lovely owners!) every day.
Outside of work, I love visiting theme parks and spending quality time with my family.
