Skip the carrier, the car trip and the waiting room. Dr Winnie brings unhurried, hospital-trained care to your home, anywhere in Manor Lakes. No travel fee, and you see the price before she starts.
Standard home visit from $110.
Manor Lakes is the suburb next door. Dr Winnie runs the practice from Wyndham Vale, one suburb over, so the new streets coming out of the ground across 3024 are part of her everyday rounds, not the edge of a coverage map.
Your dog or cat is seen at home, where they're calm, even if your street is too new for the GPS.
When your pet needs any of these, you get a specific referral (not a brochure) and Dr Winnie stays in the loop until your pet is home.
Dr Winnie qualified at the University of Queensland in 2007. Across nearly two decades she has worked in emergency medicine, the surgical unit of a university teaching hospital, and everyday suburban practice, before committing to home visits full-time.
That blend of experience counts. Years in emergency and teaching-hospital surgery trained her eye to catch the serious things early, and to tell the difference between a lump that can be left alone and one that belongs in front of a surgeon. General practice is where she found she loved the steady work of keeping pets well.
Being Fear Free certified means she takes her lead from your pet, reading their body language and moving at a pace they can handle rather than forcing the exam. And because she is a registered vet working solo, the person at your door is the same familiar face every visit, not whoever happens to be rostered on.
We had a great experience with Gentle Vet Care and Dr Winnie.The home visit made things much less stressful for our pet, and the whole process felt calm and easy. Dr Winnie was gentle, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly.Highly recommend if you’re after a more relaxed alternative to clinic visits.
Winnie thx so much for all you did for us today. Not only were you a very capable vet, but your care for all of us was grounded in deep compassion. I will be forever grateful for the kindness and understanding you showered on us. Many blessings Finn, Fletch and Aari 🤗💕🐾🌹
Dr Winnie has been so caring and gentle with our old dog Willow. Willow is usually quite territorial and takes her time warming up to new people, so I was amazed to see how comfortable she was with dr winnie right from the start.
Vet Winnie is fantastic. Very thorough checkup and happy with the service. Pricing is also very good.Will definitely be calling on her for next vet visit.
Highly recommend Dr Winnie! She takes her time, she follows the fear free principles which means she listens to your dog, something that is extremely important especially if you have a sensitive or anxious dog or a brand new puppy.Even more convenient is the fact she comes to you!! No waiting in a car park or crammed waiting room.If you are looking for a kind and compassionate vet, Dr Winnie is the one.
Dr Winnie has helped to make vet visits a positive experience for my dogs, and I think her gentle, behaviour based approach is brilliant! I have one dog in particular who needs extra care and has had a bad experience in the past with vets. Dr Winnie has created a comfortable environment for him and made excellent progress. Would highly recommend!
The practice lives in Wyndham Vale, directly next door. Whether you're near Manor Lakes Central or in the newest release, your address sits in Dr Winnie's own corner of the west.
Half of Manor Lakes is newer than the map data. That doesn't bother a vet who works here daily: put your lot or street number in the booking, or text it through, and the mobile clinic finds you.
A standard home visit is from $110, with no travel fee in Manor Lakes. Anything extra is itemised and shown to you first. No surprises, no upselling.

Reach out online or by message. You will hear back from Dr Winnie within 4 business hours, with a quick checklist to prep, such as any recent vet history, a calm space to use, and anything specific you want looked at.
Dr Winnie arrives with everything in the car, from scales and stethoscope to otoscope, medications and any vaccines for the day. She sets up in whichever spot your pet feels happiest.
She checks the heart and lungs, looks in the ears and at the teeth, feels through the abdomen and watches how your pet moves, talking you through what she finds in everyday language as she goes. Plan on roughly 45 minutes.
You get a clear rundown of the findings, a treatment plan where one is needed, and named referrals plus follow-up if anything calls for more than a home visit can offer.
Dr Winnie visits every part of Manor Lakes 3024, from the established streets around Manor Lakes Central to the releases still going up.
Wyndham Vale next door is home base, and Werribee down the road is covered too, all with no travel fee.
Do you cover all of Manor Lakes?
Yes. All of Manor Lakes 3024, established streets and brand-new releases alike, with no travel fee. Wyndham Vale next door is home base, so you're about as local as a booking gets.
How much does a mobile vet cost in Manor Lakes?
From $110 for a standard consultation, with no travel fee in Manor Lakes. Anything extra is itemised, and you see every price before Dr Winnie starts.
Our street is so new it isn't on the maps yet. Can you still find us?
Yes, it happens all the time out here. Put your lot or street number in the booking, or text it through, and Dr Winnie will find you. Brand-new releases are part of her daily rounds.
We just moved to Manor Lakes. How do we get set up with a vet?
There's no sign-up or registration. Book a visit when you need one, and if your pet has history with a previous vet, one email transfers the records. The first visit happens at home, so you'll have met your vet before anything is ever urgent.
Is there a 24-hour vet in Manor Lakes?
There's no 24-hour hospital in Manor Lakes itself. The closest is Greencross Vet Hospital at the University of Melbourne, 250 Princes Highway, Werribee, about 15 minutes away, open 24/7 for emergencies (03 8721 1414). Dr Winnie also refers to Advanced Vetcare in Kensington (03 9092 0400) and Geelong Animal Referral Hospital (03 4219 2169). She doesn't do after-hours herself, so if your pet is collapsed, struggling to breathe, bleeding heavily, having a seizure, or has a swollen, painful belly, go straight to Werribee. For anything that can wait, book a home visit.
Do you offer in-home end-of-life care?
Yes. Dr Winnie provides gentle, in-home euthanasia, so your pet can be at peace surrounded by family. Please call so she can talk you through it with care.
Book a home visit and Dr Winnie will come to you, anywhere in Manor Lakes. Most appointments are a few days out, and she confirms within 4 business hours.
