Pet care experience
Hello! I'm new to Rover but am a veteran dog walker; I completed 40+ walks in the month of Jan 2021 and, as of April 2022, primarily service the Clippership area of Eastie via word of mouth. I've previously lived with a yappy rescue chihuahua, older shepherd mix, and helped potty train a 10 month old Aussie shepherd. I've had 2 years of prior experience walking pups, working with large and reactive dogs, as well as leash pullers. I will ALWAYS walk your dog with a leash, pick up after your pup, and treat them like they're my own. I'll also teach them not to pull and recommend specific harnesses to use if they are not already walking with one. I honestly recommend harnesses for every kind of pup, as it reduces strain on their neck and provides more comfort and ease of redirection if necessary (e.g. away from garbage, attention from other dogs, etc). Based in North End/ Eastie, MA. I am fully vaccinated (c. April 2021). Let me know if your pet has allergies! References from my regular clients available upon request
Reviews
Pearl is one of the most responsible people I know and I would trust her to walk or sit for any dog! She has a ton of experience walking and sitting all types and sizes of dog, and will make sure your dog is well cared for. I cannot recommend her enough to be a dog walker/sitter!
Pearl is one of the most dependable and responsible people I know. She loves dogs and would be a great caretaker. I've known her since college and she was always someone you could count on. Whether it's with people or pets, Pearl is great choice!
Pearl is a dog and animal lover! She makes sure all instructions are followed and is well organized. Pearl will make sure your dog is safe and gets al that bundled energy out. I highly recommend her to be a dog walker/sitter. She has my trust with my lil pup!
I am definitely a helicopter dog-parent, and Pearl is at the top of a very short list of people I trust with my dog. She’s smart, responsible, and a great communicator. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter and dog walker! She’s so sweet and caring with my dog, and I know that my pup is safe when she’s with Pearl.

Safety, trust & environment
I will always keep an eye on your dog, whether at your place or mine. If your dog is boarding with me, and I occasionally need to step out for errands, I will make sure the room is secure, and I aim to never leave them alone for more than 4 hours at a time (6 hours on rare occasions).
Home
Information Pearl L. would like to know about your pet
I'm good with small dogs and large dogs alike. I politely request that pullers be walked with a harness, which reduces strain on their neck and is more effective at redirecting distracting behavior. I have experience with prong collars & slip leads. Please let me know if your dog has any allergies, medication, prescription dog food & treats, or specific behaviors that I should be on the lookout for. Honesty is the best policy.
A typical day
If boarding with me, I can take your pup out every 6-8 hours and take them to the dog park once a day (if permitted). If you have a puller, I will buy a harness just for them (that you can keep after their stay), as well as long-lasting chews like Bully sticks to keep them entertained. I incorporate basic leash manners during my walks and can teach your pup to Sit, Stay, High Five, and Touch. I like to run and am happy to jog with your dog to get its bundled energy out. I am covered via Pet Care Insurance, as Wag and Rover don’t insure walkers.
