Mobile vet near me: how to find a house-call vet in South Florida

Short answer: yes — if you are searching 'mobile vet near me' in Miami-Dade or Broward, there are licensed veterinarians who examine and treat pets at home here, and this site lists nine of them. But 'near me' works differently with house calls than with a clinic. What matters is not the closest pin on a map; it is whether your exact address sits inside a practice's service area, because each one draws that map differently — some cover both counties, some run a single corridor, and one Broward clinic in our listings schedules house calls just one day a month. Start with the service-area list on the practice's own website, not the distance.

What happens at a home visit feels closer to a clinic visit than most people expect. The vet takes a history, does a full physical exam, and can usually handle vaccinations, blood draws, and many routine treatments right on your floor, where most pets are calmer and the vet can see how they actually live. Some practices bring serious equipment with them: Premium Vet Care describes itself as a mobile veterinary hospital equipped for surgery, digital X-ray, ultrasound, endoscopy, and in-house lab testing across Broward and Miami-Dade, and VestaSoul My Vet At Home brings in-home bloodwork and portable ultrasound on sick visits. What a mobile vet is not is an emergency service — difficulty breathing, collapse, severe bleeding, suspected poisoning, a male cat who cannot urinate, or major trauma belongs at a 24-hour emergency animal hospital immediately, not on a house-call schedule. Save your nearest emergency hospital's number no matter who does your routine care.

Costs are published by some practices and quoted by others, so compare carefully. Comfy Pet The Mobile Vet, which serves the stretch from Fort Lauderdale down to Homestead, publishes an at-home visit at $155, a telemedicine visit at $100, and recheck exams at $80 — with an extended-service-area charge of $50–$150 and after-hours service at $75–$150 on top. VestaSoul My Vet At Home prices sick care as packages instead: $595 per pet for a Sick Visit + Treatments package, or $695 for Sick Visits, Diagnostics & Treatments, and its site states that each package includes the house-call travel, the exam, and a $250 medical credit toward laboratory testing. Several other local practices — Premium Vet Care among them — do not publish visit prices at all. That is not a red flag, but it does mean you should get the full quote, including any house-call or travel fee, in writing before the visit rather than after it.

Service-area fine print is where South Florida bookings actually succeed or fail. VestaSoul checks your ZIP code in its online booking and states plainly that it does not currently serve Miami Beach, Downtown Miami, Wynwood, Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, or Golden Beach — a 'Miami' practice that may not come to your part of Miami. Hours vary just as much: VestaSoul visits run Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 4 PM, with no weekend or after-hours visits per its site, while other practices in our listings see patients seven days a week. Condo owners should settle access before appointment day, too: ask whether the building needs vendor notice, where the vet should park, and whether a certificate of insurance is required, because a vet turned away at the gate helps nobody's pet.

Before you book, confirm five things: the name of the veterinarian who will actually come to your home; whether your pet's issue is one they handle at home or one they will refer to a hospital; the total price, including travel, after-hours, and extended-area fees; what records they want from your regular vet beforehand; and how follow-ups and prescription refills work between visits. Then start with a routine visit — a wellness exam or vaccines — while everyone is healthy, and judge the basics: unhurried exam, clear explanation of anything found, honest pricing, and a pet who stayed calmer than in a waiting room. Prices above are the practices' own published rates, checked November 2026, and can change; every listing on this site links to the business so you can confirm the current price directly.
