Full-time Pet Care Provider

Pet care experience

***COVID-19 UPDATE*** I am fully vaccinated and still offering all services! For your health and mine, I will be taking added precautions when interacting with you and your dog (or other furry friend). This includes disinfecting all leashes I use on walks, regularly washing my hands and sanitizing and wearing a mask. If you have other requests to ensure the safety of you and your pet, I am more than happy to accommodate them. Please stay safe!! I am a former dog owner with experience taking care of dogs of all ages. From training puppies to caring for senior pets, I will care for your furry family member as if he or she were my own. I live in apartment and am near a number of trails, so if your pup likes to go for walks, there are lots of options! I am happy to stay in your home and care for your fur-baby(ies) while you are away as well. My goal is to make the time you spend away from your furry family members as stress-free as possible. I hope to hear from you and look forward to getting to know you and your furry friend(s)!

Pearl is wonderful. She cares deeply for our dog, Buddy. We all appreciate the photos and messages she shares with us while caring for our dog. Thank you, Pearl for being a great communicator and having such love for the animals you care for.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my #1 concern at all times and I try to think ahead and prepare for all possible scenarios before every situation to ensure the safety of your pet. Whether I am boarding a pet, caring for a pet in your home, or taking your pet for a walk, I make sure I have nearby vets and emergency vet clinics on speed dial. I always carry treats with me and have extra leashes in my car. I abide by all safety and care rules you give me about your pet, and am extra cautious especially if I do not know your pet well. Again, safety is my #1 concern when your pet is in my care and I try to go above and beyond to make sure your pet remains safe while I am taking care of them.

Information Pearl B. would like to know about your pet

My apartment is small, therefore dogs who are above 40 lbs; dogs who are very hyper; dogs that have tendencies to consume non-food items; and dogs who have separation anxiety and are not crate trained are not safe in my home. If you think your pup might fit one of these criteria, you can still reach out!! I would be more than happy to take care of your furry friend in your home or discuss additional options. Your dog’s safety is my #1 priority — I want to work with you to find the best possible solution for you and your pup while you are away.

A typical day

Daily walks - (in compliance with your dog’s medical and physical needs or limitations) Pee breaks every 2-4 hours LOTS of pets & cuddle time Games - Find the treat, chase, fetch, and any other games your dog (or cat, or other!) likes to play! Overnight cuddle buddy - Does your dog (or other animal) enjoy sleeping with his or her humans? I enjoy this too! Your dog or other is welcome to sleep in my bed during overnight stays — I firmly believe that all human beds are meant to be shared with our fur babies. Medication administration - I have lots of experience with older dogs and injured dogs, so you can rest assured that your dog or other furry friend will receive their medications on schedule while you are away. One-on-one attention - Your furry children are my one and only concern when they are in my care. If there's anything else you'd like me to do, let me know!
