In-home palliative, comfort care and end-of-life support for ageing and unwell pets

Serving the Central Coast and surrounds by appointment

Every pet deserves comfort, dignity and love right to the very end. Because the final days matter most.

Why choose
Comfy Critters Home Vet?

As our pets grow older or unwell, care becomes less about chasing cures and more about offering comfort, love and gentle support.

I’m Dr Allie, a mobile veterinarian offering in-home palliative, comfort and end-of-life care for pets across the Central Coast, Newcastle and Northern Sydney areas.

I work with ageing pets, pets with ongoing health challenges, and families who want a kinder, more peaceful way to support their beloved companions in their final chapter. Whether your pet needs pain relief, quality of life support, or a calm and loving goodbye, I’m here to help - every step of the way.

No stressful car rides, rushed appointments, or sterile clinics. Just quiet, compassionate care in the place they feel most at ease - home.

Here’s what you can expect:

Unhurried visits – plenty of time to talk, ask questions, and create a care plan that supports both you and your pet.

Gentle, low-stress handling – always fear-free, always kind. I got at your pet’s pace to keep them calm and comfortable.

Comfort-focused care – whether your pet is ageing, unwell or declining, we’ll focus on what matters most: quality of life, comfort and connection.

Peaceful, loving goodbyes – when the time comes, I’ll help you say goodbye with calm, dignity and love - right at home.

The final chapter can be full of softness, connection and peace.

I’d be honoured to walk that path with you

Dr Alison Comfy Critters Home Vet Central Coast Mobile Veterinary In Home Euthanasia Gentle In Home Care

Meet Dr Alison

Caring for animals has always been at the heart of everything I do—but my journey to becoming a vet wasn’t a straight line. Before founding Comfy Critters Home Vet, I worked as a science communicator, a national park ranger, and a high school science teacher, sharing my love of animals and the natural world with people of all ages. My career has taken me from classrooms to the great outdoors, always with the goal of educating, helping, and making a difference.

As a vet, I bring a wealth of experience, a deep understanding of animal behaviour, and a love of teaching—helping pet owners feel confident and supported in caring for their pets.

I’ve worked in general practice, emergency clinics, and mobile vet care, but my passion lies in helping older pets stay comfortable, happy, and pain-free in their golden years.

When I’m not caring for pets, I’m lifting heavy things just because I can, hiking to soak up sunshine and views, and snorkelling in search of secret underwater worlds.
