EMILY
KENNEL ASSISTANT
I’ve always loved animals since I was little and I have been surrounded by them loads growing up. I absolutely love working with animals and find it a great way to have a break while I study for my GCSE’s. I think that all animals should be treated with love and deserve a caring home to be safe in. That’s why I love this job and treat all the animals like my own.
CHARLOTTE – KENNEL ASSISTANT
“ I’ve always been surrounded by dogs, as my family are huge pet lovers, so caring for animals feels completely natural to me. I absolutely love working with pets it gives me a break in-between my university studies, in which I’m studying midwifery. I believe every dog and cat deserves to feel right at home, so I make sure to give them the same love, comfort, and attention they would get from their own family. Whether it’s playtime in the garden or a nice walk to stretch their legs, I’m always happy to make their time with me fun and reassuring.”
ELLIE
KENNEL ASSISTANT + VOLUNTEER
“I’ve always loved animals, I’ve grown up with animals, mainly cats, but there’s always been a love for them in my heart. No matter the animal, cat, dog, hedgehog, insect, whatever, I love them all. Working at the kennels has definitely taught me a lot, but especially about the different behaviours in dogs and cats but also how much I love spending my time with them. Going from volunteering to staff member has made me feel like I can connect so much more with the animals as I’m there more than once a week and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Currently studying animal management in college
CATHERINE
KENNEL ASSISTANT MANAGER
I’ve always had animals since I can remember whether it was cats, dogs, snakes, golden frogs and even a gecko! I currently have a cocker spaniel who is very hyper and keeps me on my toes along with my 5 year old daughter. I love working at the kennels and meeting all the fur babies they bring such joy to my job as each doggie and cat are different so there’s never two days the same.
LAILA
KENNEL ASSISTANT
I’ve been around dogs all my life, it is my passion to work with dogs they are loyal, caring and unjudgmental and give unconditional love. I love that people bring their pets to St Annes kennels as I love getting to meet all the different animals and making sure they are happy and settled during their stay.
HOLLY

My whole life I have surrounded myself with animals, Dogs and horses are my favourite but I also have a high interest in reptiles as I have a pet snake. I am currently studying level 3 agriculture at college and work at the kennels part time along with another job working on a diary farm. I love working at the Kennels as I am always learning new things about animals and really enjoy meeting all the different dogs and cats that come in.
