Hope Veterinary Care
At Hope, we take pride in delivering personalized, compassionate care to our patients and their caretakers in Sangamon County and the surrounding areas. (Springfield, Chatham, Rochester, Pleasant Plains, Sherman, Williamsville, Athens, Petersburg, Auburn, Virden, Riverton, etc.)
Our family aims to provide a comfortable environment for your family; we want everyone, whether two legged or four, to feel welcome when they enter Hope’s doors. We offer a warm hello (coffee anyone?) for you and a good ol’ tummy rub or ear scratchin’ for your furry pal.


We strive to do our utmost for you and your pet. We love your pet almost as much as you do and we hope you realize just how much when you walk through our doors and see how we interact with, tailor the visit to and yes, even sometimes spoil your pet.
It’s what we do..
Fear-Free Certified Professionals
We are proud to have Fear Free certified professionals on our team and are dedicated to caring for your pet’s emotional well-being as well as his or her physical well-being.


AAHA Accredited
Hope Veterinary Care has achieved the highest level of veterinary excellence following a thorough evaluation by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). We earned AAHA accreditation after a rigorous review of the hospital’s practice protocols, medical equipment, facility and client service.
Cat Friendly Practice
We are committed to providing quality care to our feline patients. When we heard about the CFP program, we knew it was time to take a fresh look at the practice to determine what could be done to make the veterinary visit more positive for cats and cat owners.

Clients Opinion
"The wonderful ladies at Hope are always looking for ways to make you and your furry friend feel loved and special. Separate entrances for cats and dogs, calming music and scents, and lots of affection and treats! Not only do they care for your pets like they were their own, but they help our community with low cost vet care for those in need, and hold fundraisers for various programs in our area. Canned food drives, winter clothing donations, christmas gifts for those who need it most... These ladies do it all!"

"I love this veterinary clinic! Clean, reasonable rates, and an enthusiastic staff who is very focused on getting to know your animal. They have a separate waiting room for cats. They even volunteered to cat-sit for me for an hour while I went next door to get a pedicure. Ha!"

"Wonderful and caring people. They take the time to explain all the options available to provide the best care for your pets and treat them like family."

"I wish we'd have switched to Hope sooner! After years of mixed messages and rushed care from a previous vet, Dr. Sherrock and Kayla made us and our nervous little dog Murray feel instantly at home and in good hands. They took the time to understand our dog and make sure we understood their recommendations. Getting to meet internet celebrity Gillie the goat helps, too! ;)"

"We brought our new dog Roxy into Hope Veterinary for the first time and couldn't have been more impressed with everyone who took care of us. The doc was awesome and the staff was extremely helpful and attentive. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality animal care with a personal touch!"

"Lyle and Roxy enjoy going to Hope. They do not become anxious when they are there. They receive treats, love and excellent care."
