Meet the team

Thank you for visiting Deansford Kennels, I’m the proud owner, Robin Depper, and together with my wife, Philippa, we have run Deansford Kennels for more than 37 years. We have both been privileged to have surrounded by animals our entire lives. Philippa’s parents established Broadmarsh Kennels and she spent her childhood surrounded by and caring for dogs of all sizes. I spent my younger years caring for my own horses & dogs as a jockey and farmer.

Hi I’m Sally and I am the general manager here at the Kennels. I’ve worked here for 17 years and I run the kennels day to day support Robin in building the business. I am also married to Robin & Philippa’s nephew, Simon, so it really is a family business! I have taken several courses in kennel management, first aid (both human and canine) and I recently completed a diploma in dog grooming. I now provide dog grooming here through my business, Cuts and Fluffs.

Hello, I’m Becky and I’m the assistant manager for Deansford Kennels. I joined the kennels a year ago and currently studying for a diploma in Animal Management. I love all animals but dogs are my passion and I’m really enjoying being a part of the team here.

Hi, I’m Jo as well as being Robin and Philippa’s daughter, I also work in the kennels part time. I help out in the office, keeping all our bookings up to date and I love to walk the dogs, come rain or shine. As well as dogs, horses are my passion and I been riding since before I could walk.

Hi I’m Amy and I’ve worked at Deansford Kennels for 3 years, since first coming here for work experience. I have completed my BTEC in Animal Management at Halesowen college and now studying for my HND in Animal Care. Being at Deansford really helps me to put my learning into practice!

Hello, I’m Wayne and I work at the kennels at the weekends as well as mornings and evenings when I’m needed. I help out with walking and general maintenance but my real passion is looking after our feline guests in Cats Corner.
