I've used Entrusted Pets twice in the past; once for my White-Capped Pionus, Lola, and again for my cat, Bitsy. From the moment I called this place, I was met with empathy, patience, and understanding. I was helped every step of the way and they even put me in touch with a vet who could perform the euthanasia necessary for my 18-year old cat. Any pet-owner can attest to the depth of despair they feel when they have to say goodbye, so having someone there to help dispel any confusion was such a blessing. They went above and beyond. Fast forward to today, 11-29-25. I called Entrusted Pets right when they opened at 9am and the call was answered by someone who responded in a manner that did not align with what I've come to expect from Entrusted Pets. I explained how my 11-year old German Shepherd was diagnosed with cancer and we were told she had maybe a week left. I asked if they still offered assistance with setting up the euthanasia and I was told no. I was then told that a vet would have to come to my place, and we would then have to bring our dog's body to them for the cremation. This is in stark contrast to my previous experiences where I could bring my pet to their facility, say goodbye, and they took care of everything after that. But today, there was no understanding, no support - it was very clinical and matter-of-fact. The entirety of the call lasted exactly one minute, and that included me asking all my questions. Unfortunately, this place isn't what is used to be. Instead, I'll just find a Vet to come to my home - as suggested - and take it from there. read more

I am thankful I found Entrusted Pets. I was able to bring Hammy Hamster in the day I called. They give you time to say goodbye and take very good care of them. I'm impressed that even if a person chooses the communal cremation that they bury the ashes in a very nice place in Payson that people can visit. I chose the semi-private option. I will definitely use their services in the future when I unfortunately need them. They understand that pets are family.....even the small ones like Hamsters. read more

Ernesto was amazing. Our sweet Sedona passed away at 4:30 am on February 15th. I called him and left a message since they did not open until 9:00 am. I was in a panic since we did not have an appointment but he let us bring her in for a private cremation and we stayed for the entire process (over 2 hours) so we were able to bring her ashes home with us the same day. He was very compassionate. I highly recommend Entrusted Pets, the prices were reasonable and I was able to purchase a very nice urn while I was there and he gave us her pawprint and let us spend some time with her before she was cremated. He was patient and never rushed us. I am so grateful for Ernesto and Entrusted Pets. read more

Dropped our sweet Lexi girl off on Thursday was given an estimated pick up date of Saturday or Sunday. We were pleasantly surprised when we got a call to pick her up the next day. We also purchased a clay mold of her paw print and an ink print of her nose and all came out perfectly!!! I hope I don't need to use these services anytime in the near future but should I have to, I will hands down use this company again! The price for everything was also very reasonable and affordabl! read more

If this business is 100% over the top. Not a fancy place. But Jimmy that's got to be the most compassionate, caring individual I have ever met which is just what you need at a time like this. He let me spend almost 2 hours saying goodbye to my baby girl. I will never forget it. Then, when my little boy passed, he did the same thing. He was super gentle with them, and really cared about the grief that I was going through. There's no place better to take your animals at the worst time in your life. If read more

Did you know that you don't have to go through the vet to get your dearly departed pet cremated? My old little dog died and I took him to Entrusted Pets for cremation services. It cost me much less than what my vet charges. The customer service was impeccable. I highly recommend this business. read more

I was about to give 5 stars but glad I waited. At this time I can only give it 1 star. If anything change I will update this review. I took my beloved kitty here 10 days ago and have not received her ashes. I have left at least 2 phone messages and tried to message Jimmy thru Yelp. He has never returned my calls. I am heartbroken that he did this to me. I was completely devastated when I found her dead but now not to even have her ashes is beyond comprehensible. I put my trust in Jimmy and have received nothing in return. UP DATED from 1 star to 4. After 3 weeks and no response I tried to call again and this time blocked my phone. Jimmy answered. Was this just a coincidence??? I told him I have waited 3 weeks for some news about my kitty. He was on his way and would call me when he got there and could find her. After he called I drove to the location and he came out to my car and brought her to me. He said he had tried to call me once on the nunber I gave him but got some kind of message about the number not working. I told him it was probably some minor problem or I could have been on the phone with someone. He did admit that he should have tried calling more than 1 time. If need be I would try them out another time in the future, but hoping that will be at least 10 more years. read more

Entrusted Pets - Clifford=Sweet boy - Pet Cremation Services Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I will update this with you one more time as I keep getting phone calls from this company. I received a phone call from Sabrina who I believe is with a third-party company. She let me know that Jimmy spoke with her and that she needed to reach out to me. Instead of her apologizing and letting me have my own opinion, she was very argumentative telling me that I was wrong and that's not how they operate. Again companies make mistakes and I totally understand that, but to call only to argue about a pet I lost and how I feel was not treated well is beyond me. I hope no one experiences losing a pet with this company because even after you lose your pet you're forced to argue over how he was taken care of. read more

Two years ago I came home to find my precious boy, Anakin, had died. I found Entrusted Pets and they were wonderful and compassionate. Yesterday, we said goodbye to our beloved dog, Wiggin. Once again, we made arrangements to have Entrusted Pets do the cremation. They allowed us time in a room with our boy, and were kind and compassionate. Most people do not realize when you bring your pet to the vet to say goodbye, you have the option to bring them to be cremated yourself. This act, while difficult, allowed us more time to say goodbye, as they give you a room and don't rush you in any way. read more

I feel so lucky to have found this company. My experience was with James, who was a deeply comforting person to deal with in what was one of the worst times any pet owner has to experience. From the first phone call he treated both me and my cat Coffee with utmost respect and explained every step of the process very clearly so I could get exactly the service I wanted for her. I love that they are appointment only so that you never feel any pressure or undue anxiety and have their fulll attention to your every need. James assured me the cremation would occur quickly and he would make sure she was back with me asap. It took about 2 days and that's over a weekend. Very grateful for his professionalism and his timeliness. Not only was the service outstanding, the pricing was also the best I had found after looking at several competitors. While I hope I don't need their services again anytime soon, should I require them again I know that they will handle my pet with respect that is unparalleled. Thank you for making this experience as smooth and as pleasant as it could be. read more

It's hard to lose a pet and when dealing with someone and a company after losing your best friend you want that company to make you feel comfortable that they'll do the right thing and with as little hassle as possible. I'm glad I chose this place. James was very understanding and made a tough time easier to process. I could tell he loved animals and was honest with the return time on when bringing home my pet. Will absolutely use this company again. Thanks again James read more

Losing your pet is a very hard thing to go through. I had no idea where to start on how to handle the final steps for our pet. Entrusted pets made the process very simple. They are caring and respectful. Jimmy was understanding of our grief and patient when it was time to say goodbye. I would highly recommend them!! They are reasonably priced and have many options to honor your pet. They included a paw print which was a very nice touch. read more

We were absolutely devastated when our fur baby took her last breath.and the thought of what we had to do next was overwhelming and heart wrenching. I called our veterinarian and several others as well as multiple pet crematoriums feeling so hollow and devoid of any care from them over our loss. We were just another customer they needed to get in and get out. I absolutely could not get over their abrupt, matter of fact responses to our loss. I came across Entrusted Pets, 45 minutes away, but when Nancy answered the phone she was sympathetic and considerate of our devastating loss. We scheduled our fur baby that day and they had her ready the next day to come home. Jimmy was absolutely the most considerate and understanding professional that I have had the pleasure of meeting. Knowing he and Nancy took care of our fur baby brought me overwhelming comfort in a terrible situation. I cannot begin to impress enough upon anyone who has to go through this to contact Entrusted Pets for your goodbyes to your fur baby. They are professional, sympathetic, understanding and their overall kindness is above and beyond. Thank you Nancy and Jimmy for caring for our fur babies final goodbye. read more

Entrusted Pets - Final paw print in remembrance gifted to us from Entrusted Pets - Pet Cremation Services Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

See all

We had never cremated a pet, but our dog was tragically killed by a larger dog and we were still dealing with the care of our other surviving dog who was also attacked. We found that Entrusted Pets had lower prices than the other crematoriums around Phoenix, so we drove down with low expectations. When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised with how nice and professional the interior of the building was. Nancy comforted us and helped us make some difficult decisions. She explained the process to us and showed us where Bruno would be taken and how everything worked. She made us feel so much better and we walked out knowing Bruno would be taken care of and we had made the right choice. Entrusted Pets treated us and our poor Bruno with dignity and respect. We learned that day what a difference it makes when someone experienced treats you with kindness and helps you make the hard decisions. We're glad we chose Entrusted Pets and we're grateful for their and Nancy's help at a time when our world had been turned upsidedown. read more

These are people you can trust. I've used this service four times for my deceased pets. They treat them like the loved ones they are to you and your family. Without even asking, they provide a plaster paw print with your dog's name on it that brought a tear to my eye. I'm one of those people that wants an individual cremation and I want my pets ashes back. They are sacred to me. Jimmy is a top notch service provider. read more

My daughter lost her pet hamster and asked me to have him cremated. I contacted Entrusted Pets and scheduled a time to drop him off. Jimmy was amazing and explained everything to me. The whole process was amazing and although I hope to not have to use their service anytime soon, they will be the people I recommend others to. Thank you. read more

Really wonderful, compassionate staff. We are so thankful to have found them when one of our dogs passed unexpectedly. They have a private room for you to say your final goodbyes, which while hard, was a big part of what we needed. Our family couldn't be more thankful. read more

Entrusted Pets - Sweet Sox - Pet Cremation Services Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I wouldn't recommend this place. I went a seen the place and went to fill out the app on line like suggested and when I went to upload the records it would allow me . I contact the place and sent the docs over 5 times for the worker to tell me my records for my dog is not updated. I explained to them that my dog is up to dates on the shots and your not reading it correctly. I was them told that manager said she need a updated version of the records that I got from the vet. This place needs to learn how to read the records and have better communication instead of having you text a number back. I called another place after I was denied and the paperwork was good. I suggest you get people that really want to work and have knowledge of what they are doing. read more

Working with Jimmy is always a pleasure, he is so kind and caring of each pet. He is always one to go out of his way, we appreciate you!

This review is so long overdue, but our experience with Jimmy went above and beyond So I wanted to make sure to leave a review. We were a disaster when we had to euthanize our cocker spaniel who was 17 years old. I spoke with Jimmy so many times regarding every detail and he was so empathetic and patient that he was a saint. We wanted Sebastian to be cremated alone so that we could be assured that we would be getting his ashes so we brought him down there and we witnessed part of the process. The standard urn was beautiful and Jimmy took a paw print of Sebastian for us. We came back a few hours later to pick up the remains and cried some more. In today's world where everyone can't wait to get customers out the door, Jimmy is definitely a rare find! Thanks so much!!! You helped alleviate so much stress during such a difficult process and we appreciate it! Dawn & Jamie read more

We have been treated wonderfully by Entrusted Pets and in particular Danny. He was so compassionate, caring and understanding to our needs and situation. I would recommend Entrusted Pets to anyone needing their services. read more

I cannot say enough about this place. First of all being associated with Messingers Mortuary speaks volumes.... the Messingers are a family that cares about your family. We recently had to say good bye to our 15 year old min-pin, which of course you all know is devastating , coupled with a miscommunication on our part and needing to have the remains delivered elsewhere all while you can barely think straight is not something I would wish on anyone. Well, Jimmy at Entrusted Pets set our minds and hearts at ease as he handled our whole debacle with kindness and compassion. We got our Mosley home with his Mom and we will be forever grateful. Thank you Entrusted Pets and Thank You Jimmy read more

There aren't enough ways to describe how amazing theses people are. I dealt with Nancy, my husband with Jimmy. Anna both were so kind she went above average beyond. I was unable to afford vet care when my sweet little baby boy Meshie got parvo at 5 months old age he succumbed after 4 long brutal days. No one would take less than $275, their prices were 1/3 of that, not to mention also included a commemorative box with his footprints in ashes, as well as an ink print. I have been so heartbroken without my son here to brighten my day, and I would pay the same cost twice twice if I knew how wonderful the service was beforehand. Thank you guys for being so compassionate and helpful. read more

We are a foster family for older canines for over 20 years! The younger healthier ones get placed in forever homes rather quickly-of course. So we have been there multiple times as you can imagine. We absolutely love Entrusted Pets! They are very empathetic, kind, and offer value beyond the dollar. We use the Scottsdale location where Lauren, the Rockstar of the rainbow bridge brigade. She is always smiling and very helpful during ruff times. They answer the phone immediately, listen to our ramblings and are just a great facility. Always has been a pleasant experience and we will always come back to them. And the one bad review that Miguel wrote---well lets say that he may not be a patient person. And no Miguel, your review does not "kill" the good ones this time. Interesting use of the word. Thank you Entrusted Pets for being there during our time of need! read more

I would highly recommend Entrusted Pets! The staff was amazing! They were so warm and empathetic during a very difficult time for me. I've used them 3 times now, for my dog and my 2 cats and they were great every single time! I have all of my keepsakes they provided in my house to hold onto my memories. I've even referred others to them and they have also had a great experience. 5 stars for sure! read more

We contacted this place after some research on google and talking to the owner Joe. We called late and he was eating dinner, so we apologized but he said he would call us back that same night. He called back about 30 min later and listened to what we needed and really went above and beyond to explain what the process was for cremation, the cost, and how long it would all take. He also instructed us on what we needed to do with the body in the meantime until we could make it down there in two days. Other places we called were really not friendly, and didn't take the initiative to explain anything. He was very nice on the phone and we made an appointment, he was also the cheapest option of all of the other places we called. Pricing was not really a huge importance to us, but I felt as though some places were price gouging pet owners. We met Joe and we sat down and filled out the paperwork. He asked us about our pet and showed a lot of interest, like he actually cared. Then he walked us through the facility, showed us the crematory oven, and explained each and every step that he was going to do with our pet. He also offers a ceremony where you can be there when they put your pet in the oven. That was too emotional for us so we opted out of that. I am not sure what the cost was for that, but it was reasonable. We said our goodbye's, left our pet with Joe, went and ate breakfast, and Joe called us about two hours later. The whole process didn't take very long due to the size of our pet. We came back and the ashes were tastefully sealed in plastic inside of a memorial tube with his name wrapped around it. This would be nice to display by itself, but we opted to buy a lead crystal urn and put the ashes inside a velvet bag and into the urn. The whole ordeal was very respectful, affordable, and the owner really went out of his way to make us feel welcome, respected, and was very empathetic. I would highly recommend this service if you find yourself in this unfortunate predicament. Finding the business was a little tricky since it was in an industrial part of Phoenix, but Joe came out to find us. read more

These folks at Entrusted Pets are the best. Very empathetic towards me in my time of extreme emotion from losing a dog, family member I had for more than thirteen years. Lauren was awesome in making the arrangements and making me feel comfortable that my boy would be well looked after until I could meet him in two days at the crematorium. Jimmy took care of the cremation and again was nothing short of stellar. Explained the whole process and showed real caring almost as though my loss was his also. He called when the process was complete, about 4 hours, and I went back to pick him up. They had him in a nice wooden urn and there were two clay paw prints from him and one ink paw print with his name on it. Highly recommend Entrusted Pets if you considering a cremation for your loved pet. Hope I will not have use them again for many years but when the time comes I will be back. Thank you Lauren and Jimmy..............You took such loving care of my Tazer and I am so grateful. Steve read more

I had 4 dogs pass in less than a year from old age. Entrusted Pets was professional and compassionate. They allowed each of my pet to be cremated separately from other pets they servicing which was important to me. They were also affordable which is important because at the end of life you have usually racked up outrageous vet bills! read more

It's been a tough year for us and our pets - sadly, we have had the need to call on Entrusted Pet several times this year. Lauren and Ryan are so kind and were very patient and caring as they worked with us to make arrangements each time. We opted for witness cremation, which I realize is not for everyone but provided us with a much needed sense of closure. Ryan was great about working with us to schedule everything. He's also very willing to answer any questions about the process. While cremation services are not what anyone is hoping to need, if you need them for your departed pets, Entrusted Pet is who I'd recommend calling. The are great folks who care about what they do and make things a bit easier during the saddest of times. read more

I lost both my dog's on the same day. I have very little extra funds, and live month to month. I called several places to get quotes. Entrusted Pets was the most affordable for me. Nancy and Jimmy are a true blessing. They went out of the way to help me. I recommend this business to everyone!!! Hands down. Don't go anywhere else. read more

I highly recommend Entrusted Pets and their affiliations. Jimmy was very professional and made sure to make everything comfortable when my pet passed away on a Sunday. Pricing is very reasonable and accurate for the services. They go above and beyond for your pet when it's that time. read more

After my furkid passed, I called the main number, spoke with Lauren and she set up a drop off at this location for me. Jimmy contacted me to confirm the appointment and met me at the front door. I was a babbling disaster, he was very understanding and kind. He gave me the time I needed to say my goodbyes while I was there and was very gentle with my furbaby. Thank you for your professionalism and empathy. read more

When my dear boston terrier passed away at home, I wasn't really sure what to do. I had only had experiences with bringing childhood pets in to be euthanized due to old age so this was a sadly new concept to me...bringing your deceased pet to the location and having the cremation experts handle the rest . Turns out the whole ordeal went rather smoothly. Entrusted Pets' Lauren was responsive to my initial phone call and did not pressure me or seem sales-y. Jimmy, who met with me at the cremation facility was very kind and helpful. Last but not least, they are very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend Entrusted Pets to my family, friends, and fellow yelpers. read more

The most compassionate people ever! I called them in advance of an anticipated euthanasia of my elderly Westie dog. Lauren was unbelievably kind and helpful. She explained how their "private" cremation was just that....singular for ONE dog. Other "pet crematory" businesses claim they offer "individual" pet cremations, but they are, in reality, several animal cremations at once, which each pet being separated by partitions. Sorry to be graphic, but if it is important to you that your beloved pet's cremains are not "intermingled" with other animals, Entrusted Pets is the place to choose. Virtually EVERY employee of ET that I dealt with was incredibly respectful and treated my beloved pets (my other elderly dog died 11 days after the first one!) and me with dignity and compassion. Truly, I would trust Messinger Mortuaries (of which Entrusted Pets is a division) with my human loved ones' and my own post-life needs, because of the experience I had with ET! Lauren is AMAZING.....seems to be an angel here on Earth...so kind and responsive. Danny was also very sweet and respectful. By the way, compared to what your vet (or even going directly to a pet crematory) might charge, ET is less than half the price. They returned my beloved fur babies in sweet red/black paw-imprinted wooden boxes, along with a clay imprint of their paws. Our dogs were treated with the dignity accorded a human! Cannot SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT ET. I miss my dogs terribly, but ET made a sad task less agonizing. Thank you for your kindnesses. read more

I lost my precious little boy Peanut, on December 19th after a long illness that suddenly worsened. I'm still heartbroken. We were inseparable. I did check with other places but this was the best price. Their response was the quickest and was in a very short time frame and everyone was nice. The only name I remember was Lauren and she was so kind. I have a beautiful wooden box which cost nothing extra, and a ceramic cast of his footprint. When I mentioned that I had always wanted to get a tattoo of his paw, but had never done it, Lauren offered the ink print of his paw as well, at no charge. I plan to get that done this month. I am very grateful to everyone involved for their care of my boy. I have a fifteen year old cat who will some day need this service, so I will return. Thank you to everyone involved for your assistance at a terrible time. read more

My dog just passed away and I see that you have a 24 hr service but when I call the number I get no help ???????? All I see is good reviews but all it takes is one bad review the kill all the good ones can I get some assistance please read more

My elderly cat recently passed away at home. I started by calling my vet who quoted me astronomical prices for cremation and I knew there had to be a better option. I called Entrusted Pets after hours and Lauren was just the nicest. She went through the entire process and options with me and told me how to best handle the body until I could take it to the facility the next day. She was there when I dropped my cat off and I was able to have a last moment with my cat in a peaceful room. When I picked up the ashes they provided a cute little box along with paw prints. They are caring and understanding through such a sad and difficult time as well as affordable. read more

I don't even know where to start.... I knew that my Lilly (dog) of 17 years was soon coming to an end, there were several times that I called Entrusted Pets in tears because I thought I was gonna have to lay her down to rest those days, they were so kind and patient and told me to take my time and not to rush, Nancy waited patiently on the phone as I cried. I kept apologizing and she said "please don't apologize, take all the time you need." about 2 weeks later when Lilly passed away and I was beside myself, I called them and made an appointment, I had also made a urn for her and they said to bring it with her and they will place her in there. When my daughter and I arrived, Jimmy was there to greet us with an open heart. I was a mess. he brought us to a comforting room and told us to take our time with Lilly, take as long as you need. He had brought a gurney into lay her down after I was done holding her. He started rolling her away and then I lost it again and went running to her and buried my head into her and cried. again with a loving heart he assured me that he would take good care of her and not to worry and to take my time with her. After I finally let her go, he took her away. One of the hardest things I ever had to do in my whole life. The kindness and epitheticness that these people hold is indescribable. They handled Lilly with total respect, gentleness and kindness. I highly recommend Entrusted Pets. Lilly was back home with me in her urn in less then 24 hours. Thank you Entrusted Pets I am forever grateful read more
