The Team

Beverley Gregson

I’m the general manager here at Rose Tree. I completed my Hydrotherapy course in 2011 and have been helping with dogs rehabilitation at Rose Tree since. Seeing the improvement in the dogs has to be the most rewarding part of my role.

I’ve worked here for 14 years. I absolutely love it and I couldn’t see myself working anywhere else. We treat every animal as if it’s our own. It is a joy coming to work and looking after all the lovely dogs and cats.

Ellie Cooke

Ellie runs our Rehabilitation centre here at Rose Tree, providing both Hydrotherapy & Physiotherapy services. Her passion for working with animals began at a young age, volunteering in numerous farms, stables and sanctuaries around the world with the aim to work in the veterinary profession.

Following completion of her BSci (Hons) in Natural Sciences at the University of Nottingham in 2015, Ellie followed her dream to help animals recover from injury, disease or surgery. This led her to completing her Level 3 Cert in Canine Hydrotherapy with the additional required modules for Under Water Treadmill Therapy. Upon qualifying, Ellie set up her own business offering her services and has been running Hydrotherapy clinics around the North West including here at Rose Tree.

Alongside this Ellie studied for her Advanced Certificate in Veterinary Physiotherapy, for which she is now fully qualified and able to offer her services here at Rose Tree. This means that your dogs rehabilitation care can all be completed on site, utilising an array of therapeutic techniques including massage and laser therapy to ensure your dog is kept in top condition.

In her spare time, Ellie is kept busy with her dogs, a rescue called Pippa and a Bedlington x Whippet called Dougie.

"Growing up I spent a lot of my spare time with my auntie and uncle and their three dogs (two rescue lurchers, Seb and Scooby, and retired Greyhound Millie). When I wasn't helping to look after and walk them, I was with my auntie, helping to raise money and awareness for Mersey and Chesire Retired Greyhound trust. My love and respect for dogs grew from there. Years later, we had the opportunity to bring home an 18 month old labrador called Riley, after he spent a few weekends with us to make sure we were a good fit for him, he very quickly found his place and settled in. When Riley would join us to raise money for the retired Greyhound trust, my auntie always joked that he was their honorary Greyhound, just with shorter legs.

It was all thanks to Riley, I decided to go to university to study Bsc (Hons) Canine Therapy at Writtle University. I graduated in September of 2022, with a LVL 3 hydrotherapy, LVL 4 in underwater treadmill and a massage qualification. After finishing my degree, I have continued to further my skill set by completing courses in laser therapy and pulsed magnetic therapy. Since January 23’ I have been working alongside Ellie as a therapist here at Rosetree.

When I am not fundraising for or down at Mersy and Chesire greyhound trust kennels, I enjoy teaching Riley new tricks. His top favourite two are; closing the door and carrying our peg basket in/out for us, even at 11 years of age he is still as eager to learn and please as ever.

I look forward to seeing you in clinic soon."
