Gainesville FL house calls with a printed $65 doctor exam and $50 travel fee. Official: licensed vets; surgery and advanced imaging go to the nearest emergency hospital. Expanding nationwide is marketing, not your city.
$65 exam
Why it is listed
The lowest official DVM exam USD on this list — if you are actually in Gainesville, Florida. It is not a national network yet. A tech visit is not a doctor exam. Surgery still means a hospital.

Pros & cons
Pros
- homecallvets.com 2026-09-02 names checkups, sick visits, vaccines, lab work, prescriptions, wound care, dental assessments, senior care, and end-of-life care in the home. Visit fees: Tech Visit $45; Doctor Exam $65; Travel Fee $50 added to every visit (one flat travel fee per visit, multi-pet discount available). Provider gives a full estimate before starting treatment.
- FAQ: match with a nearby licensed veterinarian who comes with equipment. For emergencies requiring surgery or advanced imaging, they will help you get to the nearest emergency hospital. Available 7 days a week. Same-day visits when providers are available; most visits scheduled within 24 hours of request (their language — we did not time it).
- Booking: phone (352) 359-9333 or an online form. Currently serves the Gainesville, Florida area; the page also says expanding across the state and nationwide — that is a plan, not a coverage map. Call to check availability.
Cons
- No individual DVM bio on the consumer homepage (a phone-mock “Dr. Sarah” graphic is not a named licensed veterinarian). Quality named-DVM points are zero.
- Gainesville is the only named operating market. Do not treat “expanding nationwide” as a booking in another state.
- Tech visits are a vet tech, not a DVM exam. Travel is extra. Same-day is “when providers are available,” not a guaranteed SLA. Not an ER.
