Meet The Vets
We provide at-home veterinary care in many major cities across the US, and we are always adding new cities to our roster. For the most up-to-date list of service areas and more information, visit Our Locations page.
Please be aware that services may vary from city to city, and final costs will be determined by your Veterinarian based on your pet’s exam. To schedule an appointment, please use our online booking system or call 844-722-VETS ext: 1 to speak with one of our Booking Agents.
All of our services are done inside the homes of our pet parents, never inside our vans or other mobile vehicles. Our mission is to create a fear-free, low-stress environment for the pets that we treat. Home is where they are happiest and most comfortable with their pet parent by their side and where our Vets can provide the highest quality of care.
At this time, we only treat cats/kittens and dogs/puppies.
Our Booking Agents and Support teams are available Monday to Saturday 8 am to 8 pm. We are closed on Sundays.

Appointments
During your appointment, our Vets perform a thorough head-to-tail examination. Each appointment is tailored to the pet and pet owners’ needs. When scheduling your appointment, let us know if there is anything specific you would like your Vet to be aware of and we will ensure they are prepared to provide the highest quality of care. For more specific questions, please call us at 844-722-VETS ext: 1 to speak with one of our Booking Agents.
It is important that you are present during your pet’s exams and treatment. That helps your pet relax and get well with the vet team, and you can stay at the pet’s side during procedures and ask a vet for further steps and recommendations.
If you’re not able to attend the appointment, we require you to contact us 24-48 hours before the visit and provide a signed approval for the pet’s treatment in your absence. During the visit, an adult (18 years and over) should be present and authorized to make financial decisions on your behalf.
We schedule our appointments with enough time to give your pet the highest quality care in a stress-free environment. Each appointment time varies based on the service provided, the number of pets, the pets’ needs, etc.
- Appointments for one pet last anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes.
- Appointments for two or more pets last about 45 minutes to 2.5 hours.
