Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
In all the roles I've had in veterinary medicine, the part I found most fulfilling was supporting animals and their owners through end-of-life care. I have been doing hospice work for over 10 years and truly find it an honor to provide a peaceful, pain-free transition for beloved companions.

What pet parents are saying
Dr Dover is caring and compassionate. It is difficult to lose a member of your family and our beloved cat Alice was a member of our family for 17 years. Having CodaPet come to our house to euthanize Alice made her passing as peaceful as possible.
Dr. Dover was so wonderful in such a difficult time for us. She took excellent care of our beloved friend. Dr. Dover took the time to go over each step and gave us the time we needed to say goodbye. She was gentle and kind with all of us.
I recommend Dr.Dover 1000%! I had to put my baby boy Romeo down after 16 years. He was with me when I was 19 and I’m now 35. He was 9 months old and a rescue when I rescued him in 2009. May 1st 2025 is the day I put my baby boy (Yorkie) to rest so as you can probably understand I wanted to make sure he was comfortable and he was able to pass in the comfort of his own home. I was hoping that he would pass away on his own but his Vet said that it was time. I called around to a few places for at home euthanasia but my heart just didn’t feel right until I found Coda pet. I was a little nervous because it wasn’t just putting a pet or animal to forever sleep, it was putting one of your family to forever sleep. So I didn’t know if bringing in a stranger would stop me from giving up the best goodbye and I didn’t want to hold back, but the moment Dr.Dover walked through my door I felt a sense of comfort and relief. She was very thorough, kind, patient and talked me through each step of the way. During the process she would periodically check in to make sure that me and my family were ok. She gave us a safe space and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help take my baby boy over the rainbow bridge. He passed away peacefully in my arms. She let me know it was ok if I took hours or even just minutes to say goodbye. I didn’t feel rushed, judged, or scared. She talked to Romeo like he was a person and not just some animal. She was gracious, loving, caring and thoughtful. If you have any doubts, look no further, because Dr.Dover is the one. It takes a special kind of soul to do the work she does and I know because I work in hospice care and you can tell her soul is beautiful! She was so compassionate and definitely made me feel like I was doing the right thing. she validated me and made any guilt I felt, go away. My husband felt the same and we would and will definitely use her again. Thank you Dr.Dover for all that you do, you have a heart of gold and have touched our lives with your grace. We will never forget the beautiful goodbye you gave to me and my baby boy.
Dr Andrea Dover was absolutely wonderful! I was so impressed how compassionate & caring - she helped my sweet Bailey pass peacefully. I highly recommend her to anyone needing this service.
We lost Lily on Feb 11th. Dr Andrea Dover assisted us through one of the more devestating nights that comes to recent memory. Lily passed away from a cancer that was highly aggressive and we didn't see it coming. She was just 9. Dr Andrea came and she was so easy and comfortable to have in our home she felt like just another member or friend of our family and I can't imagine how we would have gotten through it without her. She let us know exactly what would happen before it did and gave us all the room and space we needed to let Lily go and treated her with such kindness and dignity. We were incredibly blessed to have her assist Lily with her end of life care. Thank you so much. 💓 Don And Dawn Leland
Dr.Dover came to our house to help our little dog Toby, pass peacefully. Dr. Dover is a wonderful mix of kindness, compassion and professionalism. She walked us through the process and once we got started, the process was as peaceful as a heart shattering procedure can be. She was always very considerate of Toby's comfort even in passing. She took a goodly amount of time in between processes to insure gentle transition. At the very end, Dr. Dover gave us time alone with Toby before she took him. She carefully and lovingly placed him in the sweetest basket and tucked him in, ready for his last ride. She took him to the crematorium for us. Dr. Dover was everything compassionate and kindness to the very end. We highly recommend at home services and Codapet. We could set the surroundings the way we wanted. So much better than a clinical experience. Thank you Dr. Dover. 💔
