Steven B. from Huntington Beach on Dr. Kayla Mochizuki: This was the best experience we could have hoped for considering the sadness of the event. Dr. Kayla Mochizuki is a fantastic care provider in my opinion.
Chad M. on Dr. Kayla Mochizuki: I cannot recommend Dr. Kayla highly enough. Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest experiences a family can go through, and Dr. Kayla made that difficult day as peaceful and compassionate as we could have hoped for. Her calm, gentle presence brought comfort during such an emotional moment.
Kevin H. from Costa Mesa on Dr. Kayla Mochizuki: She gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye to our Rosie girl. She explained everything. We received Rosie back in 2 weeks & she was hand delivered. Thank you for taking such good care of her, we appreciate it.
Kristen L. on Dr. Kayla Mochizuki: We recently faced the agonizing decision of putting our beloved 14 year old Golden Retriever to rest. Visiting her animal hospital always caused her so stress, we knew the kindest decision was in home pet euthanasia. This is such a painful decision and in the midst of fighting back the tears and caring for your pet, you find delays in responses and limited availability from other vets. With CodaPet, I was able to schedule an in home appt online sooner than any other provider in my area. The system also asked for pertinent information upfront, without me having to explain everything in a phone call when I was already so stressed and emotional. As streamlined and professional as CodaPet is, their services are priced very reasonably and communicated very clearly in comparison with other services. Dr. Kayla was so kind, patient, compassionate and communicated with us all so gently through everything. My girl’s passing was so peaceful and so beautiful thanks to Dr. Kayla and CodaPet. My amazing dog deserved the kindest, most loving goodbye and she certainly received it with the help of these wonderful people. We are so very grateful for CodaPet and Dr. Kayla.
Shannon H. from Mission Viejo on Dr. Kayla Mochizuki: Dr. Kayla Mochizuki came to our home with the most loving and peaceful energy. She was so very patient and compassionate. Even though we know this day was going to be hard her presence calmed everyone. I am extremely grateful for her.
Nicole M. from Tustin on Dr. Kayla Mochizuki: Kayla was a very compassionate and patient with us in our difficult time of saying goodbye to our sweet Minnie. I never leave reviews on anything but she was truly an angel sent to us during one of the hardest times in my life. Thank you for everything Kayla. I couldn’t have chose a better person to be with us that day.
Karen D. from Encinitas on Dr. Germaine Germundson: Kitty was my baby and I loved her SO much. It was excruciating for me to make the decision to let her go. My Kitty was 16 years old and her health declined in the last couple months. I knew it was time to say goodbye. It brought back painful memories taking my two past cats to the Vet to be "put to sleep". I didn't want her last moments to be scary and stressful. I made the appointment for Dr. Germaine Germundson to come to my house that night at 6:00pm. Dr. Germaine Germundson arrived on time. She set up a little tea light, Jesus figurine, crystal heart, paper heart. It was so thoughtful and beautiful. I cried alot but I felt comfortable and supported. She even texted me later that evening to check on me. A few days later I received a beautiful card from her with some of the heartfelt memories I shared with her about Kitty. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Germaine Germundson.
Carol F. on Dr. Germaine Germundson: It was a privilege to have known my sweet boy Charlie for over 16 years! The decision to have in-home euthanasia was the right one for Charlie. It was definitely less less stress and less anxiety for him! Thank you so much Fore offering this service and for your caring and guidance! I particularly was happy with the services from Dr. Gunderson during this difficult time! Thank you.
Jose J. from San Marcos on Dr. Germaine Germundson: Dr. Germaine G. Was great! Patiently took all our questions and answered them professionally and with genuine care, she understood my family's sentimental values and loved for our beautiful Pet/daughter dog, MAYA. I would highly recommend Dr. Germaine, we loved, that she took her time and sent us a personal written card, after our Pet passing. Thank you, Very Much Dr. Germaine for your genuine Care! Familia, JIMENEZ/NAKANISHI.
Alexandria T. from San Diego on Dr. Germaine Germundson: Dr. Germaine was incredible with the passing of our dog, Koda. She really gave us time to be with him, tell us about the process, and really let us grieve before he was taken to be cremated. I couldn't think of a better experience, and it was much more peaceful than having it happen at a vet office previously. I am so grateful for her and everything that we experienced that day. I wanted to give my husky, who gave me so much life, a peaceful ending, and that's exactly what happened. Thank you so much.
Suzi B. from San Marcos on Dr. Germaine Germundson: Dr. Germundson was an absolute angel during one of the hardest moments our family has faced.

Dr. Kayla Mochizuki
Dr. Kayla Mochizuki was raised in Ventura County, where a childhood surrounded by animals of all kinds — from furry companions to reptiles — inspired her early decision to pursue veterinary medicine. She earned her undergraduate degree in Biology from Missouri Valley College in 2015, combining her love of science with a passion for travel and new experiences. After gaining hands-on experience as a veterinary technician, she went on to receive her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from St. George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2022. She then returned to California to complete a rotating internship and began her career in emergency medicine, where she developed a strong foundation in high-quality, compassionate clinical care. Through her emergency and clinical work, Dr. Mochizuki developed a deep appreciation for supporting pets and their families during critical and emotional moments. She considers it a privilege to provide in-home euthanasia services, helping families say goodbye in a familiar and peaceful environment. Her approach centers on compassion, dignity, and respect, ensuring each pet’s final moments are as calm and comfortable as possible. Outside of veterinary medicine, Dr. Mochizuki enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors through snowboarding, camping, and exploring nature. She values time with her partner and family, cares for an ever-growing plant collection, and enjoys international travel when possible. Her home is shared with a lively group of rescued animals, including her dog Kiva, three cats — Uno, Link, and Stanley — a rabbit named Bugs, along with fish and reptiles, reflecting her lifelong love for animals of every kind.
Dr. Germaine Germundson
Dr. Germaine Germundson earned her undergraduate degree from MiraCosta College in 2021 and went on to receive her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from St. George’s University in January 2026 after completing her clinical training at Cornell. Born in Southern California, she spent part of her childhood in Switzerland just outside Zurich, where early exposure to her uncle’s large and small animal practice sparked her passion for veterinary medicine. After years of training and international experience, she is grateful to return to California and serve pets and their families with compassionate care. Dr. Germundson’s path to in-home euthanasia was deeply personal. Saying goodbye to her own beloved dog at home, surrounded by peace and love, revealed the profound impact of a gentle and dignified farewell. Since then, she has dedicated her career to supporting families through life’s most meaningful moments, with a focus on providing calm, personalized, and compassionate end-of-life care in the comfort of home. Guided by empathy, balance, and intention, she believes every pet deserves dignity, comfort, and respect—not only in life, but also in death. Outside of her professional work, Dr. Germundson enjoys traveling, fostering kittens, and spending time with her four cherished cats. Two of her companions, Bug and Amethyst, were rescued as vulnerable kittens and survived panleukopenia against the odds, with Amethyst living happily with cerebellar hypoplasia. Her third cat, Blossom, was rescued as a newborn in Grenada and lovingly bottle-raised. Most recently, Gilda joined the family after being rescued from a Southern California shelter in June 2026. Surrounded by animals who have overcome incredible challenges, Dr. Germundson brings deep empathy and understanding to every family she serves, honoring each pet as a beloved member of the family.
