A VETERINARY nurse has hung up her scrubs to set up her own pet care business in Stroud.
The new branch of We Love Pets will provide animal owners with a wide range of services including dog walking, pet sitting and dog home boarding.
Sophie Baldwin, brings over 25 years’ veterinary experience after working within the pet nutrition industry and as a consulting vet nurse.
“As a vet nurse, my favourite part of the job was getting to see the new puppies’ right from their first vaccinations and then each month for growth checks,” said Sophie.
“It was very satisfying seeing a young dog pulling its owner into the vets rather than dragging them out of the door.
“I loved my time at the vets and wanted to continue working in the animal industry.
“As a consult nurse I was used to working with animals and clients. We Love Pets just seemed like a natural progression to allow me to continue to work with both.
“I have worked with all sorts of pets, from horses to gerbils, so I’m looking forward to bringing my expertise to pet care in Stroud.”
Director of We Love Pets Jo Tomlinson said: “We are delighted that we can welcome on board someone who brings such a depth of skill and knowledge.
“Sophie has worked in the veterinary field for over 25 years and has the energy and drive to grow an excellent business offering pet care to Stroud residents.”
