 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. L.E.A.S.H. was over the top when our Bernese Mountain Dog, Ysabel suddenly passed away early on a Sunday morning.  From the time our call was taken by dispatch to when Greg arrived at our home within the hour.  He was very compassionate, understanding and respectful of the situation, and he provided us the time to say our goodbye.  Greg explained the process and within less than a week, he personally returned to our home with Ysabel's ashes and her beautiful paw print.  In a time when you have lost your best friend, I cannot say enough about this company, their respect and process.  I highly recommend L.E.A.S.H.

Owner's reply
Elizabeth, thank you for trusting L.E.A.S.H. Pet & Exotic Animal Mortuary during such a difficult time. Caring for sweet Ysabel and providing immediate support at your home in Fountain Hills is at the heart of our mission. We are glad Greg could bring you peace of mind through our Gold Package arrangements. Keeping you in our hearts as you honor your precious Bernese Mountain Dog.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m so happy with my experience at LEASH, considering how difficult it has been to lose a beloved family member. Greg was respectful and so kind. I am so happy to have a paw print and a little lock of hair to remember my sweet pup. Thank you for the kindness and care during this difficult time.

Owner's reply
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Merette. Assisting your family in Sun City and providing gentle early morning pet pickup for Emma was a true honor. We know how much those special keepsakes mean when honoring a best friend, and we hope her paw print brings lasting comfort. Holding you in our thoughts as you cherish the memories of your sweet dog.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The experience we had was so beyond amazing.  We lost our boxer late in the evening and were trying to figure out how to keep our toddler from finding him before we could take him to the vet for cremation as we have previously done.  The team we worked with made it so easy to get organized via text messages while I was at work.  Greg came around midnight to pick our boxer up.  It was all very profesional but also respectful and sympathetic. He explained what he was going to do and what next steps would be.  Greg also hand delivered our boy back to us.  Thank you so much for everything.  With 3 dogs and 2 cats I will definitely use your services again in the future.   We have also recommended your company to others we know.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much, Celeste, for taking the time to share your experience and for posting that sweet photo of Jameson—he was clearly such a loved and special boy. Assisting your family at your home in Glendale late on a Sunday night was an absolute privilege. Being available 24/7 for home pet pickup so families don't have to stress about vet visits or difficult moments with little ones is at the core of why we do this. We are so glad Greg and our text dispatch team could bring your family peace of mind through our Gold Package arrangements. Keeping you, your family, and all your sweet fur babies in our thoughts as you cherish precious memories of your handsome Boxer.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My sweet Hamster Coal ended up passing away unexpectedly and LEASH made the hard stuff easier, i’m so glad I stumbled on to their website (not to mention the flexible hours)!! Greg picked up my Coal and was incredibly compassionate, understanding, and reassuring about everything, it made me feel a whole lot better about the whole situation and I knew Coal would be in good hands. After a week Coal was delivered back home safe and sound and Greg worked with my busy schedule to make sure I got Coal back as soon as possible. She came back with inked paw prints, some fur, and a compassionate card. I will definitely recommend and be back here if I need their business, such kind and compassionate humans work here and it’s more appreciated than you know, thank you!

Owner's reply
Abigail, thank you for trusting L.E.A.S.H. Pet & Exotic Animal Mortuary with sweet Coal. Caring for your family at your home in Goodyear during a Saturday evening is at the heart of our mission. We are so glad Greg could bring you peace of mind through our Gold Package memorial arrangements and flexible home delivery. Sending our warmest thoughts as you cherish memories of your sweet hamster.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There’s not a single place that deserves a better review than this place, I mean it. I’m still at a loss for words. But, I lost my cat Milo in a very tragic way. He was my very first cat, my very first death of a pet. I lost my mind when it happened, after it happened. I had no clue what to do where to go. I found myself doing research for hours on the best way to provide my beloved family member a proper resting place. I stumbled upon LEASH. God knows how and why. They responded even though it was 2:30 in the morning. Sweet lady on the phone explained the whole process of aquamation. An employee drove over 30 minutes to meet me at the office at 3:30 am. Made me feel like family. Made me feel okay for that moment in time. I just knew I was taken care of. Most importantly they made me feel like Milo was taken care of. I will now, forever  have my beloved Milo with me, by my side. MiloBoy, you walked beside me through this life, and I can only hope that your paw prints will guide me home…right back to you in the next life. I love you boy.

Owner's reply
Ali, reading your words about sweet Milo touches our hearts deeply. Assisting families from Scottsdale during middle-of-the-night calls and meeting you at our Phoenix facility is at the very core of our mission. We are honored that our team could give you comfort and provide gentle Pet Aquamation for your beloved boy. Rest in peace, sweet Bengal cat MiloBoy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. For anyone who has a pet that passes at home I recommend LEASH to come help you with their remains and cremation. Amy made the process very easy. Greg picked up my pet and was extremely courteous and patient with me as I was a complete mess. He returned her ashes to me as quickly as possible and treated me like a normal human being who is grieving, he didn’t make it seem like he was bothered by my tears. My deepest condolences to anyone who loses a pet, I know just how hard it is and implore you to call this company if you need help their remains. This is a photo of my baby girl, Blake. She is now my angel and I am with her in spirit forever and ever.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Briana. Losing your sweet baby girl Blake is so heartbreaking, and we are deeply grateful that Amy and Greg could bring you comfort and patience during such a difficult moment. Knowing Blake’s ashes are back home with you means the world to our team. Thank you for your kind recommendation and for trusting L.E.A.S.H.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Frank. Ginger was clearly the true princess of your home, and losing such a cherished fur-daughter is deeply heartbreaking. We are honored Greg could surround your family with comfort and sympathy during this difficult time. Thank you for trusting L.E.A.S.H. with your precious girl.

The Harley-Davidson CVO™ Home Return Upgrade Option for Cave Creek Pet Parents

Cave Creek is world-renowned for its biker culture, scenic desert highways, and tight-knit community. As enthusiasts ourselves, the staff at L.E.A.S.H. Pet & Exotic Animal Mortuary understand that for many local riders, your pet wasn’t just a companion—they were your ultimate sidecar partner and a true member of the pack. To honor that bond, we are proud to offer an exclusive Harley-Davidson CVO™ Upgrade Option for our hand-delivery home returns. When you choose this Upgrade, a member of our staff will escort your beloved companion’s urn and keepsakes back home to Cave Creek on a top-tier Harley-Davidson CVO™. Your pet’s final ride home will be carried out with the respect and open-air freedom they love and deserve, making their return a memorable tribute that resonates with the spirit of the Cave Creek community.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer true 24-hour mobile pet pickup for residences in Cave Creek and Carefree?

Yes. L.E.A.S.H. Pet & Exotic Animal Mortuary provides a true 24-hour, round-the-clock mobile emergency response, 365 days a year. Whether you are up in the gated foothills of Carefree, tucked into the foothills of Black Mountain, or living out near Spur Cross Ranch, our dedicated specialists are standing by to respond to your residence immediately.

How fast can your team respond to an immediate pet loss at my home?

Because our Retrieval Specialists are strategically positioned to navigate the North Valley corridors up Cave Creek Road and the Carefree Highway, we guarantee an emergency mobile arrival time of within one hour, day or night, for all private residential home pickups and local veterinary transfers.

Are your services recommended by local veterinarians in the Cave Creek area?

Yes. We are highly veterinarian recommended across Maricopa County. We work closely with local veterinary teams and regularly provide compassionate, dignified transportation for families transitioning from regional care centers, including Cave Creek Equine Surgical & Imaging Center on Carefree Highway and Desert Forest Animal Hospital on Tom Darlington Drive.

What is the town ordinance regarding burying a pet in my Cave Creek backyard?

Both the Town of Cave Creek and the Town of Carefree strictly enforce local environmental and zoning regulations that make residential backyard pet burial illegal. Because the high-desert soil is rocky and shallow, deep excavation is incredibly difficult, posing significant health risks and code violations. Professional pet cremation or eco-friendly aquamation is the legally required and safest choice for local pet parents.

Given Cave Creek’s open desert terrain and wildlife, why is 1-hour pet pickup necessary?

Our beautiful high-desert ecosystem is home to active native wildlife, including coyotes, javelinas, bobcats, owls, and mountain lions. When a pet passes away at home, delaying aftercare or attempting to hold the body at your residence can attract these desert predators directly to your property. Combined with Arizona’s intense desert heat, our guaranteed 1-hour response safely secures your companion in a climate-controlled environment instantly.

Can Carefree and Cave Creek families arrange a drop-off at your facility?

Yes. If you prefer to transport your beloved pet yourself instead of scheduling our mobile home pickup, you can bring your companion directly to our main specialized mortuary. While our physical headquarters is located at 1912 West Campbell Ave Suite B in Phoenix, we provide seamless coordinates and direct appointment scheduling over the phone for North Valley families driving straight down Cave Creek Road or the I-17. We are open 24 hours a day, so you can schedule a secure drop-off time whenever you are ready.

Why do local families choose pet aquamation for a natural desert scattering?

Many Cave Creek pet parents choose to scatter their pet’s remains among the natural desert landscapes they loved exploring, like the trails near Spur Cross Ranch or the Go John Trail. For these families, we highly recommend our gentle, eco-friendly pet aquamation (alkaline hydrolysis). Because it uses a quiet warm-water flow instead of fire, the returned mineral ashes are softer, cleaner, and pure white—meaning they blend naturally and safely back into the Sonoran Desert soil without harming local flora or fauna.

Will your vehicle draw attention in my neighborhood when you arrive?

We understand that mourning a companion is deeply personal, especially in close-knit desert communities and private country clubs. To preserve your absolute privacy, our mobile concierge dispatch teams always arrive at your residence in clean, completely unmarked vehicles. We perform our duties quietly and with the utmost discretion, ensuring your neighbors are not aware of the transition unless you choose to tell them.

Package cost is determined by service type, weight of pet and location of pet intake.
Private payment plans not available on Platinum, Bronze or Quartz packages.
Clients beyond 30 miles from our Phoenix location may experience distance costs for pet retrieval.
