About Us

We are locally owned and have been helping Jacksonville’s pet community since 2018. Our primary focus is providing end-of-life care for dogs and cats in the Jacksonville area. There are many ways we can help to improve a pet’s quality of life through palliative and hospice care. Our mission is to provide better care for senior and geriatric pets who are nearing or are at the end of their life and assist their families in providing comfort, hospice care, or euthanasia in the home. We know how important it is to give your pet the peaceful passing they deserve at home and when that time comes we’re here to help.

Thank you to our amazing clients!

  • “Dr. Maines has been taking care of our golden-doodle since the day we brought him home. She is very knowledgeable and always has great advice on top of the care and love she gives to our dog Chewy. She has several pets of her own and it shows in her work.” - Amanda L.

  • “Dr. Maines is absolutely amazing! She is very compassionate and loves my fur babies. My dogs loved to go see Dr. Maines at the clinic, and are now even more excited that she will come to our home! My pups are my family and that is exactly how Dr. Maines treats them.” - Lexie G.

  • “ Dr. Maines has treated our elderly cat for the last two years. When it was time, she was empathetic, yet honest, and let us take our time with her during her visit. Being able to say goodbye to Mrs. Meowskers while she was calm and comfortable in her own home made the difficult decision more of a peaceful one. I can’t imagine saying goodbye to a cherished pet any other way now.” - Erin S.

  • “My experience with Dr. Maines was wonderful. She was very patient with my German Shepherd and with me. Extremely professional and the follow up care was spot on. I could not have asked for better care. I have been singing her praises!!” -Tami B.

  • “Dr. Maines is a wonderful vet! Very knowledgeable and willing to work with busy schedules at short notice. Up to date on the latest techniques and does her best to ensure your pet is comfortable / low stress during the visit.” -Judy D.

  • “For anyone that loves their furbabies like family please call Dr. Jessica! She is kind and compassionate, willing to go the extra mile to make sure your loved one does not suffer. Without her understanding of having to part with my sweet Sunshine of 15 years, I may not have had the courage to do what I know was right and humane.” -Laura H.

  • “They were absolutely fantastic. Dr. Maines squeezed my Mac in late in the afternoon. Her husband was very attentive to my boy . She figured he tore his ACL with out unnecessary expenses. Of course my boy had to be dirty from playing. I didn't feel looked down on like some doctors make you feel if you can't afford something. I have the same feeling for Dr Maines and her husband as I did when we found a really good pediatrician for my kids. Needless to say I believe I found my vet for my zoo.” - Jesse E.

  • “Jessica and husband were a blessing when they helped us with our lab. They were very caring. It was hard to lose her but they made it easier.” Vivian C.
