Skip the carrier, the car trip and the waiting room. Dr Winnie brings unhurried, hospital-trained care to your home, anywhere in Werribee.
Standard home visit from $110.
Dr Winnie is a mobile vet who covers all of Werribee 3030. She comes to your home, so your dog or cat is seen where they're calm, with no carrier, no car trip and no waiting room. Most visits happen on the living-room floor or the couch.
For everyday care, a home visit does the lot. Here's what Dr Winnie treats at home:
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 graduated from the University of Queensland in 2007. She spent nearly 20 years across emergency, a university teaching hospital's surgical unit, and suburban general practice before moving to home visits full-time.
That mix matters. Emergency and teaching-hospital surgery taught her to catch what's serious early, and to tell a harmless lump from one that needs a surgeon. General practice is where she found she preferred the everyday work of keeping pets well.
She's Fear Free certified, so she reads your pet's body language and works at their pace instead of forcing the exam. And she's a registered veterinarian, so the vet at your door is the same qualified person every time, never a roster.
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.
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!
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 🤗💕🐾🌹
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.
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 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.
Dr Winnie worked in emergency, a university teaching hospital's surgical unit, and general practice before going mobile. She knows what a harmless lump looks like, and what a lump that needs a surgeon looks like. That experience comes with her to your home.
Puppy and kitten first visits, vaccinations, wellness and senior checks, arthritis and mobility, and honest advice when something's wrong. Whatever stage your pet is at, it's handled at your pace, at home.
A standard home visit is from $110, with no travel fee in Werribee. Anything extra is itemised and shown to you first. No surprises, no upselling.

Online or by message. Dr Winnie confirms within 4 business hours and sends a short list of what to have ready — any recent vet records, a quiet room, any specific concerns.
She pulls into your driveway with her equipment - scale for body weight, stethoscope, otoscope, medications, vaccines if needed. She sets up wherever your pet is most comfortable.
Dr Winnie listens to the heart and lungs, checks the ears, looks at the teeth, feels the abdomen, watches your pet move. She explains what she's finding in plain language as she works. Takes about 45 mins.
Findings explained in plain language. Treatment plan is provided if needed. Specific referrals and follow-up if your pet needs something beyond a home visit.
Dr Winnie visits all of Werribee 3030, from the established streets around the town centre to the newer estates at Riverwalk and Harpley.
If your street is brand new and maps can't find it yet, send your lot or street number when you book and she'll find you.
Do you cover all of Werribee?
Yes. Dr Winnie visits every part of Werribee 3030, from the town centre to the new estates, with no travel fee. If you're just outside, send your suburb and she'll confirm.
How much does a home visit cost in Werribee?
A standard consultation starts from $110. Additional fees apply for other services, check our pricing page for more information.
A home visit to Werribee does not carry any additional travel fee.
Is a home vet visit as good as going to the clinic?
For everyday care, yes, with more time and less stress. When something needs clinic equipment, Dr Winnie refers you and shares her notes. Her background is emergency and teaching-hospital surgery, so she knows when a referral is the right call.
Is there a 24-hour vet in Werribee for emergencies?
Yes. The closest 24/7 emergency hospital to Werribee is Greencross Vet Hospital at the University of Melbourne, 250 Princes Highway, Werribee (03 8721 1414). Dr Winnie also refers to Advanced Vetcare in Kensington (03 9092 0400) and Geelong Animal Referral Hospital (03 4219 2169) for 24/7 emergencies and specialist care. Geelong can sometimes be quicker depending on traffic. Dr Winnie 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 the nearest one. 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.
