Meet Our Team
Director
Jay
Hi, I grew up working alongside my parents breeding dogs and showing at Crufts. I ABSOLUTELY love dogs!! I've applied all my years of experience in training Bale to help my own son and it is so rewarding seeing our team of therapy dogs do the same for people in our community.
Animal Assisted Wellbeing Practitioner & Dog Trainer
Jodie
I have been with Bale's Buddies since September 2019. I love spending time with my dog, Bertie, horse riding, cycling and being outdoors, as I love nature. Animals have always been very important to me and the effects they have on your wellbeing.
Animal Assisted Wellbeing Practitioner
Zoe
Hey, I'm Zoe. Currently, I'm studying for my BSc (Hons) Applied Animal Science degree. I joined the team in January 2023. I love that my job allows me to be around the therapy dogs, interacting with our clients and spending time outdoors. In my spare time I enjoy Dartmoor walks with my Hungarian Vizsla, sea swimming and camping.

Hi, I'm Jessica. Dogs have always been a big part of my life and I am overjoyed to be working with them. I have been working in events for a number of years and graduated with an Event Management degree in 2019. You can usually find me spending time with my own dog, a Cocker Spaniel, Bramble.
