At-Home Euthanasia in Auckland
We provide a compassionate and caring at-home euthanasia service for furry family members Auckland wide.
Saying goodbye to a pet is one of the toughest decisions any pet owner has to make. As a veterinarian, it’s something I see often, and my heart goes out to each and every family it affects. While it is a difficult choice, it’s also a compassionate one if the animal has a poor quality of life, terminal illness or is suffering. That said, no matter the reason, the experience is a deeply emotional one.
We contacted Kylie for an at home euthanasia but sadly our dag passed away at home before she arrived. Great communication during a sad time & thank you to Jason (her husband) for picking up our boy with so much care to transfer him to the crematorium.

Kylie was the perfect person to come and help Cherry. She made an awful time for us more bearable and most importantly Cherry was comfortable. Her compassion, patience, and heart were exactly what we needed at the worst time. Although you can never be prepared, having Kylie there taking such great care of our Cherry and giving us time and space is something we will never forget, and can never thank her enough. Being able to keep Cherry at home, in her favorite spot, by the fire was the best possible goodbye we could have given her.Kylie made the hardest decision we’ve had yet to make in our lives that much easier. We wanted our two poorly 15-year old beloved cats (family members) to ‘go out’ on a high. And they did. Kylie was soothing and calming both to them and to us, and the most compassionate soul we could have asked for to be with our babes in their final moments. Kylie explained everything and there was no rush. Thank you, Kylie—we were blessed to have your services.I am so glad that we chose to farewell our beloved pet in this way. She was at home, in her favourite resting spot and surrounded by family. Kylie was so friendly and supportive throughout the process. It was peaceful and painfree – I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would recommend this service wholeheartedly.We highly recommend Kylie she was so lovely an sweet especially at a time that’s so difficult, thank you so very much.Kylies empathy an sincere kind nature made it all run so smooth and having done this at home was perfectly peaceful and helped our dog Girlfriend stay relaxed and calm through the process.So grateful for Kylies compassion, empathy and professionalism during this difficult time.

Sioux & Simon – Bethells BeachOur family recently farewelled our much loved cat of 18+ years. Kylie was highly accommodating, coming across town well outside normal hours. Her sensitivity and professionalism with our cat and kids was really valued in such a tough moment. Thank you.Our family had to say goodbye to our beloved dog who was battling cancer. We were so grateful that we chose a home service with Kylie. She is compassionate, gentle and respectful, and gave us as much time and space as we needed.I called Kylie on Sunday due to my Marley boy not doing very well. All I can say is her empathy an sincere kind nature made it all so smooth an having done this at home was perfect peaceful. It can be so hard to say goodbye but having it at home made it much easieras our boy was more relaxed. Amazing service an to be at home while our boy went sleep was so relaxing an much better than being at the vets. I highly recommend Kylie she was so lovely an sweet especially at a time that’s so difficult thank you so muchThe process Sunset Vets prepared me for what was about to happen was so warm & reassuring that the choice you have made is the right one! You never get this kind of gentle, emotional support at any typical vet. I will always recommend for my whānau & friends for home farewells, it truely is better to cope with for our mokai (pets) & whānau. Nga mihi to Dr Kylie.A very professional service. Kind, patient and compassionate, making the process a lot easier.Kylie was so very supportive at an incredibly difficult time. She came at short notice and put our family dog to rest humanely and with dignity. She was very understanding of our situation, and I would highly recommend.I can’t say enough about this wonderful lady Kylie Kim, calm, measured and so so kind. Smokey was at peace within minutes and I thank you for the ease with which you undertook the procedure. Thank you Cushla & KeithWe had Kylie come to our to help farewell our Milo…she was caring, the empathy, compassion and love just shone through her. She was the right person for us and our our Milo.Thank you soooo much Kylie. Wishing all the very Best to you and your team for the Xmas and New Year frm the Rudolph and Matthews FamilyI was dreading this process but the kindness, professionalism, and compassion Kylie showed to me and my dog was beyond words. After almost 14 years of companionship, I could not have asked to say goodbye in a more peaceful and loving way. This would not have been possible without the home visit Kylie was able to make. Thank youLast week we had to let our dog Casey go after a brief fight with an aggressive cancer. We were initially scared to try in home euthanasia but wanted to let Casey have her final moments somewhere she was completely comfortable. We also hoped to give our other dog Nellie some closure.We chose Sunset Vet Care partly because of the amazing reviews and partly because of a recommendation from our own vet. We were so lucky, Kylie is an exceptional person. She is kind, caring, helpful and respectful. When Kylie arrived at our house a feeling of calm settled over us all. She explained what we needed to know to make sure we wouldn’t be alarmed or upset by anything that was happening. She gave space to ask questions. We were never rushed along, Kylie gave us all the time we needed at each step.Casey was able to have some treats as the sedative started to work and then left the world settled in her favourite spot on the couch with our other dog Nellie’s head on her back. A beautiful end to a beautiful life.Dr. Kylie Kim was really caring in how she prepared me and my family before our fur baby Louis passed on. She was very patient throughout the whole process and gave us time to process each step and only proceeded on my cue when I was ready. The whole experience was dignified and done with so much love, support and compassion. Being able to allow the procedure to be performed in our home where our darling pet was surrounded by family and in the comfort of his home was comforting. I would highly recommend Dr. Kylie Kim from Sunset Vet Care and their services. Thank you Dr. Kylie Kim for everything you’ve done for us today with our Louis.Having someone to come into your home and assist you with relieving the pain of your beloved best friend of 14 and a half years and taking them away from you is a huge decision, one that you need the ‘right’ person for. It can make or break the whole situation which is already precious, emotional and devastating enough but to have the ‘wrong’ person come and do it, would make things terrible. From the moment Kylie walked in I could sense her warmth and empathy. She was interested in Mutley’s background, she treated him with respect, she treated my whole family environment with respect and was amazing with my daughter who really wanted to play with her medical ‘toys’. Kylie was kind and gentle to my precious boy and respected everything about the situation. This was one of the hardest decisions I have had to make but Kylie made it that much easier and was definitely the right person for the job. I would highly recommend trusting this heartbreaking and memorable process to Kylie. I am so glad I went with her. Thank you for taking such beautiful care of my beloved boy during his last breaths.
