Resting Paws was started by Dr Sophie following a decade of experiencing the difference that in-home euthanasia can make for beloved pets and their people.

With additional training as a CAETA veterinarian (Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy), Dr Sophie is dedicated to ensuring your pet’s final moments are as peaceful and stress-free as possible, in the comfort and privacy of your own home. 

We understand that saying goodbye to a cherished companion is an incredibly difficult time. Our service is designed to be low stress, offering a more private, bespoke, and convenient alternative to traditional veterinary clinic euthanasia. We aim to honor the unique bond between you and your pet, providing a dignified and respectful passing in the place they feel most safe and loved.

Kind Words

  • Ana & Mike

    “Sophie was an absolute angel during one of the hardest moments of our lives. She treated our old boy Max with such gentleness and respect, it honestly felt like he knew he was safe. Being able to say goodbye at home, in his favourite spot by the fire, meant everything to us. We’ll always be grateful for the care and compassion Sophie showed — not just to Max, but to our whole family.”

  • Robbie and Becky

    “Thank you so much for guiding us through such a difficult time with our sweet girl. Being able to say goodbye at home, surrounded by family, meant everything. It spared Chilli the stress of a clinic visit and allowed her to be at peace in her favourite place on the couch. We felt truly supported and we’re so grateful for the care you showed us all.”

  • Scott and Rebekah

    “During an incredibly tough time, we felt completely confident we were in safe, experienced hands. The care and professionalism shown were exceptional. Our cat, Spud, was treated with such gentleness and empathy, it truly meant so much. Being able to do this at home made everything calmer and less stressful for all of us. Thank you for bringing peace of mind when we needed it most.”

Because every pet deserves a gentle goodbye.
And every family deserves peace of mind.
