Riviera Mobile Vet's Mission

Riviera Mobile Vet is dedicated to providing top-notch veterinary care directly to your furry, feathered, and scaled companions in Santa Barbara, CA.

In addition to routine dog and cat veterinary care, we focus on unique offerings tailored to your pet's needs and best suited for the home environment. Specifically, we focus on exotic pet care for rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, lizards, birds, backyard chickens, and more. We remove the guesswork and uncertainty around pet travel and required health certificates.  If your senior pet could be more comfortable in their golden years we can build a comprehensive and holistic palliative care plan tailored to your pet and their unique environment.  When it is time, we will guide your pet through a peaceful and compassionate euthanasia.  Discover the difference in-home care can make for you and your beloved animals.

Experience the compassion and expertise of Riviera Mobile Vet, we are here to make veterinary care convenient and stress-free.

Dr. Sinai

Welcome to Riviera Mobile Vet, driven by Dr. Nancy Sinai’s wealth of experience, expertise, and genuine passion for all animals. With a diverse background in animal husbandry, a deep appreciation for the human-animal bond, unique and extensive experience in exotic pet care, and special training in end of life care, Dr. Sinai is your trusted partner in ensuring the well-being of your cherished companions.

Prior to veterinary school, Dr. Sinai worked in animal husbandry and alongside many trailblazing vets at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the California Academy of Sciences, The Marine Mammal Center, and for several shelter and rescue organizations in Northern California. If it involved taking care of animals, she was there! Eventually ready for more school, and thirsting for a deeper understanding of medicine, Dr. Sinai graduated from UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and began working in Berkeley, CA as a general practitioner and emergency veterinarian seeing all species. 

Upon moving to Santa Barbara, Dr. Sinai continued her clinic work with many wonderful local veterinary clinics and added shelter medicine and surgery to her repertoire.  

Driven by a belief in the powerful connection between humans and their animal companions, Dr. Sinai values slow medicine where we can meet animals and families in their home environment to best understand eachother.
