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.
5.0May 20 2025 by Julia D. Andrea arrived On Time and Was So Attentive to Our Needs. My Mom can't stop talking about How Sweet Andrea was. My Mom is 95 yrs old, the Mama kitty was 17+ yrs old.
Andrea was So professional. She walked my mom through every Step, explaining what shot she was giving and what Mama kitty was going through.
Thank You Andrea for helping my Mom get through this loss of Mama Kitty. Your Kindness is So appreciated.
You are Truly One of God's Angels !!!
5.0Feb 20 2026 by Margaret B. 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.
5.0Apr 29 2024 by Jennifer D So many “Thank You’s” to Dr. Dover and the service she provides. From the moment I scheduled our appointment, Dr. Dover communicated with me about ETA’s, what to expect from the at-home euthanasia process, and advice for post euthanasia processes as well. She was incredibly personable and compassionate to both my family and our dear late Kitty.
5.0Apr 18 2024 by Savannah R We think that it takes a special person to be able to be both professional and kind and compassionate. We really felt her strength and kindness at a time when our emotional heartbreak was consuming everything. I would recommend Dr. Docer if you ever make the decision to say goodbye to your pet in your home..
5.0Aug 04 2025 by Deborah C. Dr. Dover was wonderful. She was so compassionate and knowledgeable. We appreciated the time she spent educating us on the process of euthanizing our 18 year old dog. She made sure we felt comfortable each step of the way and made one of the most difficult days of our lives much better.
5.0Apr 22 2025 by Julie G. Last month, Dr. Dover helped us say goodbye to our beloved Satya, who has been with us for the last 21+ years. She lived a long and beautiful life, enriching our lives in every imaginable way, and she is deeply missed every moment of every day. We were truly grateful to be able to offer her a loving and peaceful passing in the comfort of our arms in her home. Dr. Dover was compassionate, kind, and caring. While my heart goes out to anyone who is in need of this service, I can genuinely say that I would recommend Dr. Dover without hesitation. I am so grateful for this gift of being able to ease our sweet Satya's suffering in a way that honored who she was and remains in our hearts.
5.0Apr 15 2025 by Kim McCoy She was very comforting and made an extremely difficult situation easier than expected. Explained the process before hand and while each step was taken. When we rescued Chapo, we knew he would only be around for a Few years, we never expected it to be less than two. While, it was an extremely difficult decision to make I knew he was suffering and at the same time knew My family and myself had given him more love in two years than he had experienced his entire life. She was very understanding and supported the extra family friends that we had present and made my sons choice to leave after the serum and before the lethal Injection much more comprehensive to him. Highly recommend.
5.0Oct 21 2024 by Alexandra G. Concerns:
The process felt rushed to me.
Dr. Dover gave my dog TWICE the amount of sedative and pain med for her weight. My dog weighed 12 lbs. and she said gave Chili twice the amount for her weight - enough for a 25 lb. dog. Why? To hurry things along so she could go to her next appointment?
Also, Dr. Dover was wearing heavy cologne. Many people are sensitive and/or allergic to fragrances. Disappointing that she’d wear so much fragrance. It lingered in the house long after she was gone.
3.0Oct 23 2025 by Carlene S. 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.
5.0Oct 04 2024 by Carrot Lover The very best care rendered during the tragic time of losing a beloved pet.
I can't tell you enough how appreciative we are for Dr.Dovers genuine care.
5.0Oct 24 2025 by Todd H. Dr. Dover was exceptional! We were able to make an appointment easily and were so impressed with her empathy, professionalism, and comfort she provided to our sweet kitty, Denni. We weren’t quite ready to say goodbyes to Denni, but felt we gave her the best farewell possible thanks to Dr. Dover. If you’re able to offer your pet the in-home option, I would highly recommend CODA and Dr. Dover.
5.0Nov 18 2024 by Maizey P. On one of the hardest days Dr. Andrea Dover not only helped my best good girl Baylee have a peaceful departure but also took the time to care for me and my family
Dr. Dover is compassionate and kind.
5.0Feb 12 2025 by Jennifer S. We had to make the difficult decision to say goodbye to our beloved 8 year old Rottweiler Ryder. Dr. Dover went above and beyond to help us with this process. Not only did she go out of her way to come to our house after 8:00 pm on a Friday night, (changing our appointment that we had for Saturday afternoon), but she was also very compassionate and supportive. She gave us as much time as we needed to say our goodbyes and she was very loving to our sweet boy as he transitioned to his journey over the rainbow bridge. Thank you so very much Dr. Dover for your support and the hug you gave me afterwards. Your kindness didn’t go unnoticed.
5.0Oct 18 2025 by Penny R. We had to say our final goodbyes to our Spanky girl last week. Dr. Dover made the process of in home euthanasia as smooth as it possibly could be. This is never an experience anyone wants to have but will be calling her again for any other in the future. She made us feel so comfortable and I wouldn’t have had it any other way than in our own home. Highly recommend her to anyone!
5.0Aug 18 2025 by Teresa Salsman Dr Dover was an angel. She made the whole process as comforting as she could. She explained what she was doing, showed compassion, and really helped me through a tough and emotional time. She was conscious of everyone involved too, even my little girls.
Thank you Dr. Dover for helping our Yuuki cross the rainbow bridge. I can’t recommend you enough!
5.0Feb 16 2026 by Susan Y. Dr. Dover was a life saver for me. My baby was in pain, not able to walk, slowly dying, 108 lbs and it was a holiday weekend. None off the emergency vets I called had any help for getting my dog to them. I found Dr. Andrea Dover on line and she was able to come to me. She was professional, thoughtful, caring, and understanding about us and having to euthanatizing my 12 1/2 year old pet. She was able to take care of everything. Thank you for all you did. Dr. Andrea Dover.
5.0Jun 29 2025 by Joan H. Dr. Dover was very compassionate, and the passing of my 14 year buddy was very peaceful and handled respectfully. Although it was a very tough time for me, she handled it with grace, care, and compassion.
5.0Sep 02 2024 by Sharif B She was everything we needed during an awful time!!! She was kind, caring, thoughtful, patient, helpful and very thorough in explaining things to us.
5.0Jul 23 2024 by Debbie M Highly recommend Dr Dover.... She exudes compassion and empathy with an unmatched level of professionalism and knowledge. Dr Dover made the loss of our beloved family member so much easier for our entire family, and we couldn't be more grateful
5.0Jan 23 2026 by Misty S. If I could leave 10 stars I would.
I had a 16 year old yorkie that I have been holding onto hoping that he would just pass away in the middle of the night peacefully in his sleep and when I wake up he would be in heaven. Unfortunately things never go the way we hoped for.
My poor Romeo has been trying to show me/tell me for awhile now that he’s ready,
The last 2 months I seen a complete decline and finally found enough courage and strength to bring him into see his Vet. I rescued Romeo in November 2009. He was 9 months and I was 19 years old. Fast forward to today and he is now 16 years and a few months old and I’m now 35. So you can only imagine the attachment that I had for him. I guess I already knew it was time but I needed confirmation or validation. I guess if someone that is experienced tells me it’s time then it won’t have to necessarily be my choice lol this was my thought process. I knew that I didn’t want to do it in a clinic. So I went home that night and called around for estimates and to feel people out and see who felt right.
I stumbled upon CodaPet after I had made a few calls to other places but I just didn’t feel right. When I read their page and saw Dr.Dover and her information, without even talking to her first I knew for some reason that she was the one that needed to do it. Well my intuition was absolutely right.
I couldn’t have asked for a better veterinarian to come in to our home and help my little man cross over the rainbow bridge. She was absolutely amazing, professional, compassionate, understanding and respectful. I mean I could go on and on. I’m not a very emotional person, I would say that I handle death a lot better than most. I knew I’d be sad and I would cry, of course but I was not expecting the kind of pain that I felt when I had to say goodbye. So I believe that it is important who you choose to come into your own and share that kind of deep personal experience with and I’m just so grateful that I chose her to come in and take care of my little Romeo like she did.
She was super thorough, she was mindful and sat us down before she did anything and explained the process. I have never experienced this before so it was a little scary I’m not going to lie. However, all that went away moments after her arrival. She had this calmness about her that made me feel safe. You can tell she is very passionate about what she does.
I am a CNA that works in home hospice for old people, so in a way we kind of have the
Same job but she does it for animals, I do it for people however of course I’m not putting people into a forever sleep, obviously. But I know first hand that it takes a special person to go around and do what she does.
If you have any doubts about your fur baby, I strongly strongly recommend getting in touch with Dr.Dover and talking to her about options. I promise you won’t regret it and you will instantly feel that she’s the best veterinarian for this job.
I love that she didn’t treat it like a “job.” The other places that I called just seemed like they were just out to completely drain my pockets to kill my dog and I did NOT like that. But Dr.Dover was far from anything like that. It was absolutely a good feeling knowing that my Romeo was in good
Hands.
Dr.Dover- I can’t thank you enough for everything you did for me and my little man last night. I know that he’s up there running through fields being wild and is no longer suffering and most likely sniffin out and eating all the bacon his little heart desires. You made it peaceful and special. I can’t thank you enough.
No need to search any longer, you have found the perfect Veterinarian. Don’t hesitate or allow your fur baby to suffer any longer!!
Godbless

5.0May 02 2025 by Julia Dillard 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.

5.0Feb 28 2025 by Dawn L. Dr. Dover was so kind and compassionate. She made a very difficult situation as easy as possible for our family and made sure that Kona was comfortable and felt loved as she passed. Being able to do this at home was so much easier on our family and our dog. I highly recommend this service and this vet.
5.0Dec 30 2025 by Holly H. Dr Andrea was incredible! At such a traumatic, difficult time for us, she brought comfort, reassurance and compassion. Thank you, Dr. Andrea.
Dr. Dover was kind, gentle and aware of how difficult this process was for us. We will 100% call her as needed in the future. Thanks for affording our family and Lucy such a special experience at home after making the impossible decision to put her to rest.
5.0Mar 17 2025 by Kathy D. When the time came to let our 14 year old male Husky pass on we knew that we wanted to do so at home in a familiar setting, where he'd feel as stress free as possible. Our other 2 dogs had been euthanized in vet clinics - the somewhat chaotic settings were stressful & somewhat traumatizing. CodaPet employees were respectful of our needs in assisting us with scheduling & any questions we had. Dr. Andrea Dover was fantastic & put us at ease throughout the entire visit. She didn't rush us, answered any questions thoughtfully & is extremely kind. We chose to transport our pet ourselves to Peaceful Paws for cremation. Dr. Dover had high praise for them as well as their employee Aaron, who was fantastic also. I highly recommend both to anyone that finds themselves in the same situation with their beloved family pet.
5.0Jan 01 2025 by Andrea Hughes While Dr. Andrea did get us through the process, after speaking with my partner, we’d be remiss not to leave some gentle feedback suggesting some additional attention be paid to overall bedside manner and conversation tone and style. We were clearly in deep emotional distress and Dr. Andrea simply wasn’t a match for the type of care/support we needed. However as a Vet she performed her technical function.
3.0Sep 17 2025 by Sean M. Dr. Dover came to our home to help our dog Jake pass. Her kindness for Jake was exceptional. She explained every step along the way with gentle guidance. It was a very peaceful passing.
5.0Jul 29 2025 by Juana Williams During such a difficult time, Dr. Andrea was kind, patient and walked us through every step of the process. The compassion was needed. We appreciate her and being able to do this in a timely manner. No one wants to lose their 16 year old Labrador. She is my world, but I appreciate that she's not in pain anymore. Thank you.
5.0Jan 07 2026 by Jasmine S. Dr. Dover was amazing. She was kind, compassionate, gentle, and respectful. She made a very painful day a little easier with her love and kindness.
5.0Apr 10 2025 by Anna H. Dr Andrea was amazing, distracting us by asking the family nicknames for our dog, as well as his favorite toys/activities! She explained what was going to happen & asked permission. I especially loved that she gave us a green light to give him ANYTHING he wanted to eat for his last moments. It was a heartbreaking decision made a little easier by her compassion.
For the extremely difficult situation, Dr Dover could not have been more emphatic and comforting as we went through the process of saying goodbye to our sweet girl. I am so thankful for her experience and loving approach and to making this as easy as it could be
There are not enough words to describe how helpful Dr Dover was to me and my soul dog Stella. I was in a difficult situation and finding no hope anywhere. I made many phone calls to several area Veterinary clinics and spoke to many professionals, and still was left with no answers or solutions. Then I met Dr Dover who not only helped me, but walked me through it with kindness and compassion. She didn’t give up when issues came up. She went above and beyond. I really could not be more grateful for her during this time. I’m grateful for her knowledge, professionalism, and willingness to help those of us who don’t always fit in the box, and being an extraordinary human being.
5.0Sep 26 2025 by Cindy D. She was very caring and allowed me to be there for him. I and still very sad and miss him a lot. But having him die comfortably in my arms allowed him to not be stressed and he was comfortable with her the minute she walked through our door.
Thank you so much.
Denise and Schawn
5.0May 13 2025 by Denise A. We knew when our 16-year-old whippet, Reyna, was near her end, that we wanted to use in home euthanasia, so she would be comfortable and not afraid. Dr. Dover was so kind to us and Reyna, and so skilled with the process that it was peaceful and calm, and not at all scary or stressful. It was a good way for us to say goodbye to her (and Reyna enjoyed the special treats we gave her beforehand.) This is how we'd do it when we need to again.
5.0Mar 28 2025 by Patti Dahle Dr Dover was amazing and we appreciated everything she did for us and are grateful for the ease of care. We thank her for helping pass Zim on around the love and comfort of her family here
5.0May 14 2025 by Christopher Justice Dr Andrea Dover was so kind to our dog Bella and us. She gently helped Bella to pass peacefully. Her loving attention, advice, and skill made the transition painless. Thank you so much for helping at this hard time.
5.0May 03 2025 by Melinda Thompson Dr. Dover was the ultimate professional. She put our family at ease while she was doing the same with our Macy. She was gentle and kind and let us know what was happening all along the way. It is such a hard and emotional thing to do. I would highly recommend her to support this process. We are grateful.
5.0Mar 04 2025 by Michelle Mallory Dr. Dover was kind and patient for our old kitty's last moments. He had a very peaceful passing, and she made it as quick and painless as possible.
Dr. Dover was very professional and kind. She did everything with ease and compassion, helped us with this difficult time. So thankful she does what she does and does it well. We appreciate her getting us in the soonest she could.
5.0Jan 13 2026 by Beth G. 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. 💔
5.0Jul 21 2025 by Deborah Chaney Dr. Andrea was the exact person I needed with me for my cat's emergency euthanasia appointment. She was kind, empathetic, and calm, even when I was a sobbing mess. She explained every single step of the process - what I would see, how it would affect my cat and what to expect. Everything was done on my timeline, when I was ready. It was wonderful having someone so calm and understanding with me during such a hard time. Thank you, Dr. Andrea.
5.0Dec 22 2025 by Heather R. It was so very hard to have to decide to euthanize my seriously ill dog, who was a friend I had for 12 years. I am so grateful for how it was handled by CodaPet and the excellent veterinarian, Dr. Dover, who came to my home. She had thoughtfully answered my questions when I made the appointment. She even was able to come earlier than scheduled when my dog took a sudden turn for the worse. Every detail of the process was carefully thought out and explained to me.
5.0Aug 21 2025 by Karen Strand Worst time of our lives, having to let our sweet kitty go. Dr. Dover earned her 5 star rating by being the most wonderfully compassionate person you could ever hope for in the height of our despair. Her kindness will not be forgotten.
5.0Jul 05 2025 by Mary Foulk Dr. Dover was kind and compassionate. She made sure we understood the whole process. She let us experience our emotions in a safe space. We couldn't have asked for a better person to help our Cosmo cross the Rainbow Bridge.
5.0Mar 12 2025 by Robin D. Andrea was very compassionate, communicative and empathetic when she came to help our 15 year old Border Terrier - Bella, rest in peace. We knew after many episodes of illness this was the end of her struggle.
Dr. Dover came out on a Sunday, exactly at the time we requested. She asked questions about Bella and gave us expectations on what would happen. It all went smoothly and as best it could under the circumstances. She took her gently after we said our goodbyes. Within about a week, we got Bella’s ashes back from Peaceful Paws in a very nice wooden urn - along with a footprint, a little fur and a certificate.
Would highly recommend Andrea and Peaceful Paws.
5.0Mar 23 2026 by Lori P. Dr. Dover was so kind and understanding. She let me know what to expect. She didn’t rush things. A real professional, but also a real human being. Thank you so much Dr. Dover!
5.0Aug 05 2025 by Annette P. It is such an emotional time when you have to put your beloved pet down. I thought and prayed hard when my little pup Rocky wasn't getting well; he was only getting worse. After signing up online, I was contacted right away, by Dr Andrea Dover. She was able to come when I chose, only a day or two later. She was so good with Rocky. He was totally comfortable with her. After initial consultation, I carried Rocky to my bed, which I thought would provide maximum comfort and relaxation. I held him as he lay there, staring close into his sweet face. I talked to him the whole time, as Dr Dover administered the injections. Rocky didn't seem to notice Dr Dover was there or doing anything. I was free to coddle him and talk to him, and he was listening. We were truly at one during this process. I didn't want to get overly upset, and just let the tears flow as I gave him love, smiles of reassurance and promises to see him again in heaven. Afterward, Dr Dover gently gathered him in a soft blanket and placed him in a perfect-sized basket. Rocky was at peace, his sweet little face looked like he was sleeping, all warm and cozy in the blanket imprinted with hearts. It was so hard to let him go, but there couldn't have been a better way. Dr Andrea is very intuitive, gentle, and kind. She appeared to me very God-centered in her work. I was so grateful that it was her there with me. It's been tough, but lately I have been having exquisite dreams of Rocky running to me, just like he used to do when he was well. He's all excited to see me, full of energy, having fun and feeling so happy. I think that's a good sign. I believe my little Pumpkin (which I often called him), is at peace now and one day we will be together again. Last night, I dreamt I was offering him a bowl of pumpkin!
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.
5.0Feb 23 2025 by Wanda W. When it came time to help our dog Lucy cross over the rainbow bridge we contacted Dr. Andrea Dover. She was very compassionate towards both us and Lucy. She helped us through the procedure in such a calm and reassuring way that we could understand every step. As hard as this moment was for us I can honestly say she made it less painful. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing to make this decision.
