Sarah Kinney, DVM

​

I grew up in rural upstate New York on 10 acres of land, and I spent most of my time as a child outside in the woods or with the family dogs and cat. My childhood instilled in me a love for the created world and the creatures in it, and it was with the intent of learning as much as possible about God's creation that I attended Calvin College, earning a B.S. in Environmental Science in 2000, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, earning an M.S. in Conservation Biology in 2003. During my studies, I participated in bat research in Belize and Black-footed Ferret research in Wyoming. However, in order to care for animals on a more individual level, I then pursued a degree in veterinary medicine and graduated from Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2010. 

​

I moved to Florida following graduation in order to be closer to family and worked in Winter Park as an Associate Veterinarian in small animal general practice until 2025 when I felt the call to provide even more individual care to pets by providing them the gift of a peaceful passing in the comfort of their own homes. Having experienced not only the blessing of human hospice care during the passing of my own mother at home, but also for the passing of my own cats, it is truly a priceless treasure to be in the calm and safety of one's own home during some of life's most devastating losses.  I consider it both an honor and a privilege to be present with and come alongside people when they make the difficult decision to say goodbye to their beloved companions. 

 

Having always had a hunger to learn more about this beautiful world, I am blessed to be able to travel internationally a couple of times a year and soak in the wonders of this planet. When I am not in some far-flung corner of the globe, I treasure times of fellowship with family and friends both locally and across the US. And, since no home is complete without the pitter-patter of kitty feet, I am equally content to stay at home and relax with a coffee, book, and the company of my own most handsome and adorable cats!
