Eva BSc(Hons) RVN

Eva joined Happy Pets as a veterinary nurse in 2022, straight out of Edinburgh Napier University. Born in Edinburgh and with family ties to the Netherlands, she has brought lots of enthusiasm and fresh ideas to the practice. She is currently setting up to be our social media manager. Outside of work she can be found on the beach with cocker spaniel Izzy, cooking delicious meals and then heading off to the gym to burn off the calories.

Lynda

Lynda is our front of house gal and has been with us since 2014. She manages all our reecption duties and is the first friendly face you see when you arrive at our practice. She is an Edinburgh native, being kept busy with her family and pets - a Puggle called Tony, Dachshund called Pablo and Polly the cat.

Barbara

Barbara joined the Happy Pets front of house team towards the end of 2023. Prior to that she worked for many years as a dog walker and loved being outdoors, but especially loved spending time with the dogs. She chose to hang up her muddy boots and leads to join the world of animal care and has enjoyed it every step of the way so far. She has learnt so much about caring for animals and is really enjoying interacting with clients and their pets.

In her spare time, she loves to get out and about and spend as much time outdoors as possible. Barbara loves seeing her family and friends, and if the weather is rubbish she will most likely be at home in her cosy pjs eating her favourite snacks and watching a good movie or two.
