Gentle Farewells - Mobile Vet In-Home Euthanasia Service

About Gentle Farewells

Gentle Farewells is a mobile veterinary practice based in Seminole County, Florida, founded and led by Dr. Sharymarie Hines. Dr. Hines followed an unusual path to veterinary medicine — she spent nearly a decade working in human emergency and critical care nursing after earning a bachelor's degree from the University of South Carolina, before following her lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian and graduating from St. George's University. That background in bedside care informs her deeply compassionate approach to every end-of-life appointment she conducts.

The practice serves families across Oviedo, Geneva, Chuluota, and the broader Seminole County area of Central Florida. Dr. Hines believes that a pet's final moments should take place in the environment where they feel most safe — at home, surrounded by the people who love them. Beyond the euthanasia appointment itself, Gentle Farewells offers guidance on aftercare planning and connects families with grief resources to help them through the days that follow.

Services Offered

Gentle Farewells provides the following services to families in the Oviedo, Florida area:

• In-Home Pet Euthanasia — all medications included in the appointment
• Aftercare Planning Guidance — support in choosing cremation, burial, or other options
• Grief Resources — access to materials to help families cope with pet loss

What to Expect

Dr. Hines comes directly to your home, bringing everything needed for a calm and dignified farewell. The appointment is designed to move at a pace that feels comfortable for both your pet and your family. Medications administered during the visit are included in the appointment fee, and Dr. Hines takes time before and after the procedure to answer questions and offer support. Appointments can be requested online through the Gentle Farewells website or by phone, and the practice extends its care beyond the visit with aftercare planning guidance and grief support resources.
