“Ashley is amazing! She’s very responsible and loves our dogs! When we come home from work they are both happy and calm (the calm part is unusual!). We feel totally comfortable staying at work late or taking overnight vacations when we know Ashley will be with our dogs! Thank you!!

“Sarah’s been walking my dog Sophie daily for over 2 years. She’s also stayed at my house multiple times when I’ve been out of town – watching Sophie and the house. Sarah’s completely trustworthy and a real pet lover. My dog is always so thrilled to see her, she practically knocks her over

“Sarah- I have to tell you this!! I went and got Mufasa the collar you suggested and did what YOU said and showed me and almost cried…I was so happy! I can walk him now! 6 years and I never could; 5 minutes with you and BAM! I can. You’re amazing, thank you SO much! AND now my kids can even walk him.. it is AMAZING!

I’ve had the pleasure (or I should say my cats have had the pleasure) of working with Ashley. They love, love, love her! It really shows that she enjoys what she does. She goes above and beyond what is expected (vacuming my place, keeping a journal of the cats activities while I’m gone). She even shared some tips on how to keep my kittys extra happy while I’m home. Ashley is a way better option than boarding your animals for sure!

"Hi Ashely, Just a quick note to thank you for washing the sheets and mattress pad. I appreciate it very much and I know it isn't really in your job description! I think perhaps Patches had been coming in - she marched in shortly after I arrived home. I think she eats lizards and is then sick so it could have been her doing the throwing up. Or of course it could have been either of the other two... either way thanks for the clean up. I think the magnetic door is working but currently Kirstie won't actually try it out. She prefers to wait for one of the other doors to be opened. Even better if I have to stop what I am doing in order to open the door! Hopefully I will get to test it out later. In any case in the winter she wouldn't come to any harm waiting outside... Anyway thanks again.. I suspect I will be going away again shortly...I will let you know" -Margaret
Sarah has repeatedly gone above and beyond what I expected in a pet sitter. Recently we left for a long summer trip. Before we left one of our cats snuck out and had not returned. Sarah took it upon herself to put up flyers in the neighborhood and search daily.
She also had to put up with ALOT from the dogs (cleaning up repeatedly after a sick dog). She’s dependable and always has been available for us. Her love of animals shows in the details. She leaves toys and treats and good pet advice, once suggesting that our dog’s itching could be allergy related. She suggested a few other food options and it worked.
When we are heading out on a trip we tell our dogs that Sarah is coming to play and they get VERY excited.

Sarah is absolutely amazing! When I leave town I never worry about my dogs at all. When I return home from a trip the dogs are never stressed or anxious. She cares for them as if they were her own. I have been using Sarah for about two years and highly recommend her to all of my friends and neighbors.

“I would like to say that Sarah Gorman is an amazing pet sitter/business owner/animal lover. I would entrust Sarah with my home and pets 100 %, which is hard to find. Not only is she dedicated to what she does, she truly loves the animals and that’s very important!”
-Michael C.
“Dear Sarah,

Love, Montana, Chyanne & Elizabeth L
“We are very pleased with the attention and care you gave to all of our pets. We are sure to use your services in the future!Thanks on behalf of Bailey especially, for the throw toy. It will be well used!”

“My three pups have had the pleasure of Sarahs company and care during mid-day workweek visits for the past several months. I recently underwent some life changes that meant I would no longer be able to visit my dogs at the mid-day during my lunch break.
After finding her web site through a search engine, I read her Bio page and was immediately impressed with her qualifications and her obvious dedication to the welfare of animals. And, after meeting her in person and seeing her interact with my four-legged terrors, I knew that I had found the right person for the job.
From her first visit, Sarah has provided me with updates of her visits and has been very accommodating and flexible in dealing with me and my sometimes inconstant schedule. I am completely confident that the pups are well cared for and appreciative of her time. I could not possibly recommend Sarah more highly (nor could, Bella, Javier, or Jack!).”
-Chris D
“Sarah is obviously someone that is very passionate about animals. She spent more quality time with my dog than she promised. She left a great note about her visit, some nice treats and even a really cute picture of my dog, Maggie. She saw that someone had been in my house when I was gone and sent me a text to ask what was up. (It was me in the house, I forgot something!) I was really excited that she even noticed that someone had been in the house. She pays attention to detail and she is a loving and special person and the one you want in your house when you are gone. When your pets cant have you there, everyone will be thrilled to have Sarah there. If you’re looking for a pet sitter in Scottsdale .. look no further! This is as good as it gets!

“Sarah at Elite Pet Care is wonderful! We have used her many times for all different types of services from pet sitting while away on vacation, coming over for day visits while we are away at work and even for emergency vet care when we were unable to take our dog.
She is extremely friendly and reliable. We always have a progress note for the day when we come home and best of all our fur babies absolutely love her! She even takes pictures of our dogs while we are on vacation and sends us text messages with pictures and updates. We highly recommend Elite Professional Pet Care to anyone and can’t say enough good things about them!”
-Erin P.
“Sarah visits my puppies a few times a week during the long workday. She is GREAT! She is super flexible with my hectic schedule and I love reading the notes and text updates she sends me when I am stuck at work. I swear the dogs seem more relaxed and happy on days that she visits! I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone that has to leave their pets for long periods of time. She’s a weight off my shoulders!”
-Alexandra
“We have seven pets and I would not be more comfortable with anybody else but Sarah taking care of them.She helped us so many time, sometimes on very short notice. Very reliable, responsible, professional, pet loving. Highly recommended!”
-Yelena

“Sarah – just a brief note to let you know I got home about 3:00 and the pups were fine, of course. I can’t begin to tell you how impressed I am with your professionalism and great service. I felt very comfortable leaving the pups in your care – first time ever they’ve been by themselves for an extended period of time!
Thanks again, Sarah.”

“Sarah,
Thank you thank you for such a thorough and thoughtful e-mail. You made our day.
Please work with Roxie and Max any way that you think makes sense. We would love to see Max
be more self-confident but he is 13. Something about old dogs and new tricks. Thank you for trying.
Can’t tell you what peace of mind it gives us knowing our “fur kids” are in such good hands.
Best to all of you and a special pet to Buddy.”
-Regards,
Jai and Deborah
