Say goodbye in the comfort of home, surrounded by love. Dr. Katie Matzke provides peaceful, compassionate end-of-life care for your dog or cat.
For many of us living in Palm Beach Gardens, our pets are part of the family, from morning walks near the Gardens Mall area to quiet evenings on the patio. When the time comes to say goodbye, the thought of a stressful car ride and an unfamiliar clinic can be heartbreaking.
There is a better way. Rover Veterinary Care brings compassionate euthanasia services directly to your home, serving families throughout Palm Beach Gardens and the surrounding communities. Dr. Katie Matzke ensures that your pet's final moments are spent in their favorite spot, whether that's a sunbeam in the living room or a soft bed on the porch, surrounded by the people who love them most.
Your pet remains in their familiar environment, free from the sights, smells, and sounds of a veterinary office that can cause anxiety. They stay relaxed in the place they know and love.
In-home appointments allow your entire family, including children and other household pets, to be present and say their goodbyes in a private, unhurried setting.
Avoid the difficulty of transporting a sick or mobility-impaired pet. We come directly to your Palm Beach Gardens home, making the process as peaceful as possible for everyone.
