Offering her clients a personal service, with access 24/7 for advice on anything to do with pets, has ensured pet expert Helen-marie Pipe has been ideally placed to grow her business even when people are cutting back on their spending.

Moving to Sevenoaks last year, Veterinary Nurse and Paws Consultancy owner Helen expanded her catchment area and is now covering Kent, Surrey and Sussex daily.

Entering into her fourth year of business as a professional pet service provider, she not only works weekend nights in a well known specialist referral centre but is sole nurse at a practice in Nutfield. Known and respected by Vets and Clients and adored by pets Helen does it all herself and provides Pet Nanny, Pet Transportation, House Sitting, Microchipping and Problem Solving not to mention any Veterinary Support required. ‘The demand for my time is constant, but I make myself available to my clients because I care and I need to know both pets and owners are ok.

I am uniquely positioned as I am a Qualified Nurse with 20 years experience and I work along side Veterinary Practices to provide a customised, individual and trustworthy service, times are hard for everybody and to have a professional but affordable person in your home to rely on is priceless.

Pets are no different in responsibility or time to that of children, so hiring them a Nanny should not be sniffed at - I wish I had someone like me he he.’
