Dave Kenyon

Partner and Veterinary Surgeon

After qualifying in 1992 in South Africa, I worked at various practices before coming over to the UK where I worked for Medivet from 1995 to 2000. I returned to South Africa and bought into a small animal hospital in Pretoria, working there for the next 16 years. When my daughter decided to study in London, I contacted Medivet again and took over a group of practices (including Horncastle) in November 2016. I’m married to Roenel, a Veterinary Nurse, and I have a dog called Jessie, who is still in South Africa. In my spare time, I enjoy running, swimming, walking, horse riding, scuba diving, golf and travel.

Molly Overton

Veterinary Care Assistant

Since I can remember, I've been captivated by dogs. My journey in animal care began during my GCSEs, and I pursued an animal care course at Riseholme College. When I was just 14, my passion led me to train as a dog groomer at a grooming parlour, an experience I cherished but knew wasn't my ultimate goal. After school, I continued my education at Riseholme in Animal Management, delving into various aspects like nutrition, nursing, science, and husbandry. Upon completing the course, I worked as a dog groomer for two years before transitioning to kennel management, where I cared for local pets. Which brought opportunity to train rare breeds like Curly Coated Retrievers, Sussex spaniels, and Bracco Italianos for prestigious dog shows such as Crufts. Currently, I serve as a VCA at Medivet Horncastle, aspiring to one day become an RVN. Additionally, I have a soft spot for adopting furbabies - three French Bulldogs, a Pomchi, and two charming black cats - who mean the world to me.

Casey Hardy

Veterinary Care Assistant

Hi! My name is Casey and I work as a Veterinary Care Assistant for Medivet. Growing up I have always loved being in the presence of animals and therefore it is such a privilege to have a job that I am so passionate about. I particularly enjoy spending time with the animals ensuring that they and their owners have the best possible experience whilst in our care. It is extremely rewarding seeing the difference we can make on a daily basis to improve the quality of each pets life and seeing their confidence grow whilst they are with us. In the year I have worked for Medivet, I have gained so much experience, knowledge and most importantly love for the job. Outside of work I love to spend time with my french bulldog, Theo, going for lots of walks in the countryside.

Yaz Burley

Veterinary Nurse

I started with Medivet in 2018 as a Patient Care Assistant and have since studied to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse, qualifying in 2023. Providing individual nursing care to our patients is something I am passionate about, and I especially enjoy getting involved with diagnostic imaging. As a Hills Nutritional Ambassador, I am happy to give advice on the various diets available, from kidney care to weight loss! I have also recently completed a certificate in Oral Hygiene Care, and look forward to applying the knowledge I have gained to our everyday practice.

Hello! Having worked in customer service for many years, I was delighted to be able to join the friendly team here at Medivet Horncastle in July 2024 as Client Care Assistant. I have been passionate about animal welfare my whole life and it is a dream come true to be able to meet so many lovely pets every day. I really enjoy supporting our families and helping to ensure their much loved pets receive the very best care with Medivet. I live in Horncastle with my rescue cat, Mango.

Becky Hobson

Practice Manager

I started at Medivet on work experience when I was 13 and never looked back. I went to other practices in the meantime, but eventually returned to Medivet Horncastle in 2015 and was promoted to Head Veterinary Nurse. I enjoy supporting my nursing team, making patients feel at ease, seeing them grow over the years and interacting with clients who I have a bond with. I have a son called Callum and have recently adopted an English Bulldog called Stella.
