Your Vet is Stevan Pesic Dipl Vet, MRCVS
Veterinary Surgeon and Joint Venture Partner.

I am a qualified Veterinary Surgeon in two countries – my native Serbia and the UK where I am a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. I work with small animals and have an interest in diagnostics such as x-rays and ultrasound, as well as in soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery. I have worked in west Kent since 2005, working alongside some of the best Vets in the country and getting to know the pet lovers who live here. Your pets deserve the highest standards of care - and that's what we deliver. I love living in Kent with my wife, two lovely daughters and two cats who take up most of my free time. What little is left I spend playing basketball.

Kate O'Neill
Veterinary Surgeon

I hail from the ‘sunny’ south east of Ireland and qualified in Scotland, from the University of Edinburgh, in 2011.  I joined Companion Care shortly afterwards.  I enjoy most aspects of small animal general practice and am dedicated to providing an excellent level of care.  At the moment I am especially enjoying getting to know my patients in Orpington, and their owners.  When not in work I enjoy cycling, yoga, travelling, going to gigs and many hand crafts.

Julie Arnup
Head Veterinary Nurse
I knew I wanted to work with animals from the tender age of five.  My mum would take me to Crufts Dog Show every year and this infused my love of animals.
My break into the veterinary world came when I was 19 after doing work experience in my local practice. After becoming a qualified veterinary nurse in 1999, I went on to work for several private practices and animal charities before joining the Companion Care Group in 2001.  I worked at the Crayford branch before becoming a Joint venture partner in the Charlton surgery in 2006, then in Winter 2011 I joined Orpington as Head Nurse.  I have a passion for all pets but especially cats, rabbits and guinea pigs.

Francesca Walford
Receptionist
This is my first job within the Veterinary industry.  Originally I trained as a Theatre Designer and working theatre and TV.  I decided to change my career and I have been part of Companion Care since 2010.  I enjoy customer interaction and being able to talk to clients and their pets.  I have always had a love for animals, especially cats.  In my spare time I enjoy painting, socialising with friends and visiting my family in Italy.
