Sarah Gorman – Owner/Professional Pet Sitter

Sarah and Kat

Hi, I am Sarah, some of my clients call me  a dog whisperer:). I’m the owner of Elite Pet Care, LLC, formerly Elite Professional Pet Care. I started this business in 2005 after years and years of pet sitting for friends and family while I worked in the corporate world.

I am an avid pet lover, through and through. My life revolves around my business and helping pets! I love being a Scottsdale pet sitter and dog walker! I know pets are precious and I treat all my clients pets like they are my own! The pics on the main page are some of my clients!

I have been a pet sitter in Scottsdale since 2005. I am a sole proprietor and my business is my life, its all I do, no other job, so you know when I am with your pet, that’s the only place I want to be! Your pets care is my number 1 priority! I have worked hard to be the best pet sitter in Scottsdale and I pride myself in providing the best pet care possible.

I devote my free time to dog rescue, whether with APARN or helping owners in my neighborhood find their lost dogs. If I see a lost dog or cat sign, I will do my best to help owners and their furkids reunite! I have helped dozens of owners find their pets and it is the most rewarding feeling in the world!

I grew up in Chicago and moved to AZ when I was 16. (I am 31 now). I graduated from Pepperdine University in 2001 with a BA in Journalism and a minor in Nutritional Science. My minor has inspired a love for pet nutrition as well, so if you have a question about dog food, please ask!!

After graduation, I worked for a magazine in NY for 6 months, but moved home after being in Manhattan during 9/11.

Back in AZ, I worked for over 2 years at the Arizona Republic news paper. In my free time I was helping out for a local boxer rescue.

I realized that sitting behind a desk for 85% of the workday was not for me. I felt like I needed to be out helping animals. As an avid Animal Planet watcher:) I decided that I wanted to apply to be an animal control officer for Maricopa County.

I was hired and realized that helping owners and animals was my passion. As an ACO, I developed excellent animal handling skills, but reporting to work everyday where dogs were euthanized got very depressing.

With some encouragement from friends, I decided to open my own Scottsdale pet sitting business. I am dedicated to taking care of your pets as if they are my own. I am a sole proprietor and my business is my life! You can be assured that your pets and home will be in the best care possible! When you hire me, your pet and home safely is my number one priority.

I have years of experience and know what to do in any unusual or emergency situation. I have vast knowledge off all things animal related and love to talk pets with my clients.

From pampering and spoiling your pets to maintaining their training routine, I can do it all! I can walk ANY dog guaranteed!

I am a pet sitter servicing Scottsdale, but have contacts to pet sitters around the Valley, so please feel free to contact me for a referral if you are out of my area! For the best care of your fur kids…call me!
