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.

Katie
Hi, I’m Katie, I joined the Bale’s Buddies team in June 2021. I have grown up around animals my whole life and have always loved them, particularly dogs! I have two dogs of my own which are the best companions. I love to visit new places and enjoy being outdoors especially the beach. I can’t wait to pursue my new career for such an amazing business.

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.

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.
