Meet Our Team

Dr. Erin Zaring

Hi, I’m Dr. Erin, and I’m so glad you have found Comfort @ Home! 

I am proud to be the sole owner of Comfort @ Home. Many veterinary clinics and in-home pet euthanasia services are corporate-owned or controlled by private equity firms. At Comfort @ Home, we are unique. My veterinary nurse Leanne and I make all the patient care decisions at Comfort @ Home. We are proud to serve the communities we and our families live, work, and play in.


At-home veterinary care has been my passion for the majority of my career, and I’m honored to have the opportunity to focus my practice on pain management, palliative treatments, hospice care, and in-home pet euthanasia. These are important yet underserved areas of veterinary medicine. 


I grew up in rural southern Indiana, and I was frequently exposed to a variety of animals. I knew at a very young age that I would become a veterinarian. There just was no doubt in my mind - it was what I had to do. After volunteering at the local shelter and several local vet clinics, I left home for my eight years at Purdue. My undergraduate degree is in neurobiology & physiology, and then of course I earned my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. Boiler up! At the beginning of vet school, I planned to be a mixed-animal practitioner. (That’s a vet who takes care of pets, farm animals, and horses.) However, I soon realized that my true calling was to care for people’s beloved dogs and cats. 


The summer before vet school I got my first “adult pet,” my orange tabby heart cat, Howie. I learned so much from Howie. He turned me from a dog person into a dog AND cat person. He was a stubborn guy who taught me how to provide gentle care for scared, anxious pets. With time, he and my second heart kitty Sam (another orange tabby!), taught me how to provide in-home care for senior pets. Sam eventually gifted me with experiencing in-home euthanasia from the pet owner’s perspective. While extremely heartbreaking, it was also a peaceful experience that I will always cherish. 


Currently I have three kitties: Luka, my formerly stray old lady – the smartest cat I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. Zelma, my spunky and beautiful black domestic shorthair. Ronald, a goofy and loving long haired white kitty. In 2023, I was finally able to have a dog again! My family welcomed our rough coated collie, Lizzy, to our home, and she has been a delight. I should probably also mention that I share my home with humans. My husband Chris is originally from Boone County, and he was the clinic administrator for our mobile practice. We have two terrific sons, Heaton and Colton. They keep us on our toes!

    Hi, I'm Leanne! I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse and Canine Myo-manipulative Functional Therapist with over 25 years of experience in the veterinary field. I have worked alongside Dr. Erin since 2011. I love in-home veterinary care. Bringing gentle and compassionate care to pets in the comfort of their own home is so rewarding. My love for animals started when I was a child. My mom was very involved in the local humane society and we would often foster many pets throughout the years. 


     I graduated from Purdue University with a BS degree in Biology. Then went on to receive my degree in Veterinary Technology. At Comfort at Home Veterinary Care, I work alongside Dr. Erin helping cats and dogs improve and maintain a good quality of life and control their pain. I perform Laser Therapy and Massage Therapy. I am certified in Canine Myo-manipulative Functional Therapy (a fancy term for canine massage therapy). I am currently working on also becoming certified in feline massage therapy. 


    When I am not seeing our wonderful patients, I love spending time with my family. My husband, Scott, and I have two children. One daughter, Elliott, currently in Cosmetology school, and one son, Mason, currently in high school. We have 3 adorable kitties, River, Hank, and Bruce, and one amazing pup, Annie.
