Scheduling a Visit in Rio Verde
Rio Verde's more rural, spread-out properties mean drive time can vary even within the community, generally running 35 to 45 minutes from our Scottsdale base. Next-day scheduling is typical; we'll confirm the exact fee and timing once we know your address.
We regularly visit families throughout Rio Verde, including Rio Verde Foothills, Tonto Verde, and Trilogy at Verde River.
What a Home Euthanasia Visit Includes
Every Rio Verdeappointment is performed by Dr. Tiffany Boisjolie or a veterinarian she has personally chosen. No special preparation is needed on your end — just choose a spot where your pet is comfortable, whether that's a favorite bed, the couch, or the backyard. If your pet is eating, go ahead and offer their favorite food or treats beforehand, and continue any pain medication as normal on the day of the visit.
The doctor will first talk with you about the procedure and answer any questions before beginning. Your pet is then given a sedative, allowing them to settle into a comfortable rest before the euthanasia solution is administered — a peaceful, painless process, never rushed.
Afterward, you can choose to keep your pet's body for burial at home, elect communal cremation, or have your pet's cremated remains returned to you individually. Ashes are generally returned within 7-10 days; for individual and private cremation, your pet is identified with a numbered tag that stays with them through the entire process, checked against your paperwork before the ashes are released back to you. See the full fee and aftercare breakdown for exact pricing on each option.

“This team really is the best. The gentleman who took my initial call was so kind and helpful. He talked me through all the services they offer and was not pushy or clinical at all. Dr. Tiffany was incredible. She was so patient and compassionate. She called ahead of the appointment to check in and answer any questions we had. Then when she arrived she took more time to walk us through step by step what would happen. She asked what our sweet cat was like and made sure she was in her favorite spot with her favorite treats. I never once felt rushed or pressured. She waited until we were 100% ready before doing anything. Afterwards she gave us plenty of time to say a final goodbye and let me carry my sweet little girl out of the house. The crematorium they work with was great as well. The clay paw print came out beautifully and the lovely carved urn I received was really high quality and a beautiful resting place for my kitty. Making the decision to let your pet go when its time is hard. And the pain of loss is devastating, but Dr. Tiffany and her team really made the experience so much easier and allowed our beloved Kitten to have a peaceful and dignified passage onwards while she was in a safe space surrounded by her comforts.”

“Charley spent 15 great years with us with his never-ending loyalty healing & love. My wish was when it was his time it would be with him surrounded by his family in his home showering him with love. Dr. Tiffany was warm tender & compassionate giving us the time needed & explained everything in the process. Charley was let go from this life gently just like him, gentle. Thank you for making such a tough time as easy as it possibly could be. The G family”

“Dr Tiffany is a very kind, personal and trained veterinarian. She honored my beloved Butterscotch and my need to be close to her. She will explain the process, make sure you understand each step and allow you the time you need to get through the most difficult and painful event a pet owner has to go through. Nothing is rushed - she was equally concerned with Butter's and my needs. She honored Butter through the entire process. I cannot express my gratitude to her and am happy to share this information with others needing to make this difficult decision. Dr. Tiffany is the best!”

“We are deeply grateful to Pets at Peace and Dr. Tiffany for helping us give our beloved Popcorn a peaceful and compassionate goodbye. Her gentle, empathetic care—and the time she gave us to be fully present—meant more to our family than words can express. Being able to say goodbye in the comfort of our home made an incredibly difficult moment feel personal, peaceful, and filled with love. We cannot imagine saying goodbye to another beloved pet in a veterinary office. Thank you, Dr. Tiffany, for helping us honor Popcorn with the loving farewell she deserved. ❤️”
