“Dr Raf is a highly recommended warm compassionate vet - who kindly came to our home to help us care for our elderly cat. His calmness and expert care was much appreciated.”
- Xanthe from Bondi Beach
Rafael is amazing with animals and that makes everything easier. I would recommend him to anyone and feel very lucky to have found him.
-Kate Alstergren (Bondi)
A fantastic veterinary professional, Raf went above and beyond for our elderly and much-loved Devon Rex; showing genuine concern and care for her wellbeing over several months. Cannot recommend more highly.
-Jennifer Cook (Bondi)
He cares. Answered my 9pm panic text with a phone call, after dealing beautifully with my very vocal and spoilt cat. Can't recommend this service enough.
-Belinda Holmes (Bondi)
Wonderful home, service, friendly, personable. Highly recommended.
-Bevan Millin (Bondi)
MEET THE VET
How It Started
Growing up in rural Auckland set me up for a lifetime helping animals. I shared my childhood with dogs, cats, goats, chickens, and a paddock full of horses. As a kid I spent many years with Vets and helping in the clinic. I had an early passion for animals and the natural sciences, and as a vet I feel deeply privileged to help people in my work.
More Recently
I got my start working in rural Victoria doing lots of surgeries and emergency calls. Since moving to Sydney, I’ve worked in some of the city’s best clinics including North Shore Veterinary Specialist Centre, and the University Teaching Hospital in Camperdown. My main interests are in the fields of surgery and anaesthesia, and I’ve undertaken further training in these areas. In addition to my mobile work, I also do surgery and consult at several hospitals in the eastern suburbs (Rose Bay, Double Bay and Randwick). In 2018 Bondi House Vet was awarded the Waverley Local Business Award for Outstanding Pet Care.
The At-Home Experience
No stressful car rides and no busy waiting rooms. I provide personalised care while your pet is completely comfortable at home. I’ll arrive fully equipped, and make sure your pet’s experience is a happy one.
Clinic Support Team
We are very lucky to have Nurse Lisa and Nurse Lily assisting with bookings, and follow-up care. Coming from extensive experience in many clinics, they both have an amazing ability to help both animals and people.

Vaccinations
Vaccines are an important way to keep your pet safe.
Most dogs in Sydney get a vaccine for parvovirus every one to three years, and an annual vaccination for Kennel cough. Cats usually get a vaccination against cat flu and parvovirus annually, although in some cases (Indoor only cats) this is only needed every three years.
Vaccination always comes with a complete physical exam and health check, including dental and heart checks. Vaccination is still recommended annually, but there are other options depending on your pet’s specific environment or immunity. To find out if your pet is due for a vaccination, feel free to send us a message.
Dr Raf was so kind, patient amd professional with both myself and my senior cat. He took the time to get to know her and what her issues were and gave options for me to consider without putting any pressure on. I really appreciate that he was able to see me same day and was able to come back so quickly to do bloods.
-Matthew Luka
Incredible service. We booked the vet in for a visit to our cat for his vaccinations and regular health check. The vet was very informative and gave good care. Highly recommend!
-Waut Lammar
Dr Rafa is the number one house vet without a doubt. He’s extremely caring, gentle and professional. On his return visit to check up on our cat Tino, even Tino was happy to see him! I will recommend him and his team to everyone we know that has a furry friend. Thank you for being so lenient with visiting times and also your patience to work around people’s schedules.
-Beatrice Gottardo
End Of Life Care
With old age your pet may need more frequent vet visits. This can be divided into 3 stages:
Geriatric care:
When exactly your pet is considered to be of “old age” will depend on their size and breed. Some large dogs might be considered old at 10 years, whereas old cats are usually closer to 20. Old age care usually means regular blood tests, and careful attention to oral health and mobility. Arthritis is very common in older pets and there are lots of excellent medications that can help with this.
Palliative care:
This is when your pet has a serious medical condition that cannot be cured, so we provide nursing care and medications to make them as comfortable as possible. With good veterinary care your pet can live happily for an extended period.
End of life care and Home euthanasia:
If your pet has a very reduced quality of life and no cure is possible, then end of life care followed by euthanasia might be the best option. Making this decision is always tough, and should happen after thoughtful discussion with the vet. The vet will also need to examine the animal carefully to make sure the diagnosis is correct.
During this delicate and important stage of your pet’s life please contact us to discuss all the options.
Dr Raf also runs a dedicated palliative home care and end of life care service called Loyal and Loved Veterinary
Hospice. To make a new enquiry about home euthanasia please click one of the links below.

REVIEWS
Dr Raf is the best! He’s been our vet for over 5 years and always has my dog Harleys wellbeing in mind with the whole process. Very grateful for his great work.
-Sarah Routhier (Bondi)
Thank you so much, Rafael, you came quickly on the same day I called, when it became obvious she was passing on. I will never forget her or you. The service, professionalism and kindness are so appreciated. I am very grateful as it was a real blessing to have you there.
-Jean R (Kensington)
Highly recommend this vet. Makes the effort to explain everything clear so that it was easy to understand. Shows a real care for animals. And comes to your house to, what more could you want
-Marc Tucker (Bondi)
He comes to your home with a van full of equipment, pills and potions - a travelling vet clinic. My sometimes difficult cat smooched up to him and allowed him put her on the scales. From then on they were best friends.
-Sara Bennet (Vaucluse)
