Four gentle steps. In your Jupiter home.
The biggest reason families delay calling is they don't know what's about to happen. So we tell you the whole visit, start to finish, before you pick up the phone.
We arrive at your door.
Shoes off if that's your preference. Most visits in Jupiter, Tequesta, Palm Beach Gardens, or the surrounding area happen within a 30-minute drive of Jupiter Town Hall. We take a few quiet minutes to meet you and your pet, and to find the right spot for the visit, wherever you'd like that to be.
Time with your pet, on your terms.
No rush. A favorite blanket, a sunny spot in the yard, the family present or not. Other household pets are welcome. We've helped families on couches, on screened lanais, in living rooms full of grandchildren, and on the beach. The space and the moment are yours.
A gentle, two-step procedure.
It begins with a small injection of sedative. Your pet is in a deep, painless sleep within minutes, completely relaxed and unaware. We don't move to the second injection until they're fully comfortable. The second injection is final. It's not felt. Over within minutes, peacefully, with your hand on them.
Aftercare, on your timeline.
A clay paw print keepsake is included with every visit. If you've chosen cremation, we handle the transportation to our trusted local aftercare partners. Our communal cremation is Memorial Reefs International, where your pet's ashes are incorporated into a living undersea memorial reef garden through our crematory partner.

Dr. Katie Matzke, Jupiter native.
Katie was born and raised in Jupiter, Florida. She attended the University of Florida for both undergraduate and veterinary school, graduating from the UF College of Veterinary Medicine in 2013.
She spent the next ten years as a shelter veterinarian at Nevada Humane Society, where she founded Rover Veterinary Care in 2020 after watching too many families struggle with end-of-life care in the wrong setting. In 2023 she returned home to Jupiter to expand the practice to South Florida. She still does spay and neuter work for multiple South Florida shelters.
However you're feeling as you read this, you don't have to do it alone. We'll be gentle with your pet, and with you.
How you'd like to remember them.
