What Arizona pet parents say
Real reviews from Google
"Brooke is the best! She has sat for our very busy house of two cats and two very active dogs many times and everyone is always so well taken care of. Would highly recommend her to anyone!"
"Brooke Andrus has been our dog sitter for the last 5+ years, taking care of both our previous lab and our current lab. She’s very communicative and responsive, always sends pictures and updates, and takes great care of our boy and our home while we’re away. She’s friendly and has a very empathetic nature to her. I would highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pet as her own 😁"
"An amazing service for pet owners who want an experienced, trained professional to care for their fur babies! We booked Stefanie to check-in on our Frenchie Emma, a day after having minor surgery, to do a wellness check and make sure her stitches were doing ok. The convenience of having a credentialed vet tech do a house call is a game changer for us! Especially since last minute vet appointments are virtually impossible unless it's an emergency. Will definitely utilize these services in the future!"
"Hi. I'm writing to let you know how pleased I was with your employee Sarah. She was very kind to both me and my dog. She took time to show me the correct way to use the medication.y dog and I had a very pleasant experience."
"Sarah was a lifesaver when we rescued a dog that was diagnosed with Megaesophagus (ME.)She helped keep us calm while we learned everything. Truly a Godsend."
"My experience with Martha on 2 separate occasions were nothing short of phenomenal! Martha went above and beyond to care for my kitty kat Sammie when he was at his sickest and I could not be there. She initiated his medication, helped him through the first few days in becoming accustomed to even being on medication. She sat with him while he begrudgingly ate his ‘special’ food. Martha played with him and comforted him when he needed it. Martha kept me fully informed and updated. I could not have imagined the level of care she provided was even possible. I will never forget the kindness Martha gave so freely to Sammie and to me…Martha is priceless!"
Frequently asked questions
Is in-home medical support in Scottsdale the same as seeing a vet?
No. Your veterinary professional carries out the plan your veterinarian has already prescribed — medications, monitoring, wound care, recovery support — in the comfort of your pet's home. They don't diagnose conditions, prescribe medication, or replace regular vet visits.
Do I need to already have a diagnosis or prescription from my vet before booking?
It depends. We prefer clients to have one, and we request medical records for all medical bookings, since it helps your veterinary professional provide care that's consistent with what your veterinarian has already recommended. If you're not sure whether your situation qualifies, reach out and we can talk it through.
What kind of medical support can a veterinary professional provide at home?
Medication administration (pills, injections, and more), post-op monitoring and recovery care, wound care and bandage changes, and general condition monitoring — all following your veterinarian's written instructions.
What if my pet needs emergency care?
In-home medical visits are for ongoing, non-emergency care your vet has already outlined. If your pet is experiencing an emergency, please contact your veterinarian or the nearest emergency animal hospital right away.
Do you support pets with chronic conditions, like diabetes?
Yes. We offer specialized in-home support for pets managing diabetes and other chronic conditions, including insulin administration and routine monitoring.
How do I get started in Scottsdale?
