Years of exp, care & love for pets!
Pet care experience
I had my first dog when I was 9 years-old. Since then, I've owned and have cared for many dogs and cats over the years. I am the designated person to help do drop-ins or boarding for my families pets when they travel, and I'm here to offer the same service to you! My husband and I reside in a 2-story townhome where we are blessed with a family of furry friends, including 3 cats and a dog! Because we live in a community, there is an open and safe space in the front and in the surrounding neighborhood for walks. Our house is very spacious, allowing a comfortable and fun environment for your pets to stay at when you need to be away. We dedicate spaces in the house to the pets we care for so that they are undisturbed when resting. This also allows your pets privacy should you not want them to interact with other pets in the household. We also only accept 2 clients maximum at a time with separate living spaces for their pets, so your pet will never have to be stressed out over living with other cats or dogs. -----EXPERIENCE------ • 20+ years of experience and time spent with both cats and dogs (I've had a total of 8 cats, 5 kittens, and 7 dogs in my lifetime!) • Provided around-the-clock care (including bottle and tube feeding) for newborn kittens • Experienced with administering medication orally (pills, liquid with syringe, eye drops, and topical) • Designated caretaker and coordinator for my families pets, meaning I am usually tasked with all their pets health records and keeping tabs on their medical care and appointments • I have always trained my own dogs, but have also been working with professional trainers in the last year to work with my parents Old English Sheepdog • Background in Pet Science and Psychology -----DOG BOARDING----- Why should you have to worry about your family member when you're on vacation? As long-term pet owners, we understand the anxiety and worries all too well. Rest assured when you board with us! Here are some essential "must-knows" we will ask before booking: • Is/are your dog(s) or cat(s) on any form of flea/tick control? • Is/are your pet(s) up-to-date with vaccinations? • Are there any behavioral or medical issues I should know about? If so, are there any treatments or tasks I need to do during their stay? (Ex. My dog needs to be on a diaper if he's staying with someone because he'll pee every time someone says hi to him!) • Does your dog/cat get along with other dogs and cats? We have a dog and 3 other cats in the house who all get along with each other, and can allow them to come out for play dates with your pet if he or she gets along with other cats/dogs and are up-to-date with vaccinations. What this service covers: • Drop off any time between 8AM-10PM on drop off day • Pick up by or before 6PM on pick up day • Around-the-clock support and care for your furry family member with nest cameras monitoring them when they are in their own room or space • Scheduled walks 2-3 times a day if needed • Exercise and play • Comfortable central AC/Heating depending on the season (I know, we love to spoil our furry friends) • Pictures during their stay Things to bring/provide: • Enough food to last the number of meals and days that your pet will need during his or her stay - bowls are not necessary, but preferred • Any medication, supplements, or treats that you'd like us to administer during your pets stay • Collar/halter + leash for dogs OR litter for cats (no box needed, we have litter boxes) • Bedding • Any other toys or items that are needed due to behavioral, emotional, or medical reasons and needs • Emergency contact information, both personal and vet -----DAY CARE----- Need someone to watch your pet during the day?

Reviews
We had a great experience boarding our dogs with pearl. She took really great care of them and gave us updates daily on what they were doing. And sent us pictures along the way. Our younger dog had surgery right before we left on a cruise and so pro made sure to make sure All over her medications were taken on Time. I could tell when I arrived. The dogs were and in good spirits entry aven gave them a chew toy that they really enjoyed while staying with her. I can't say enough good things about my experience having her take care of my dogs. She is now my go to dog border in the southern california region.
I couldn't be happier with the dog walking services provided by Pearl. Her attentiveness and professionalism are truly outstanding. From the moment I met her, I could tell she genuinely cares for animals. She took the time to understand my dog's unique needs and preferences, ensuring every walk was an enjoyable experience. Her punctuality and reliability are second to none, giving me peace of mind knowing my dog is in safe hands. I highly recommend Pearl to anyone looking for a caring and professional dog walker. Shadowheart and I are incredibly grateful for her exceptional service!
I would trust Pearl with more than just my pets, but with my life! In the many years I've known her, she has been nothing but kind, compassionate, caring, and selfless but also protective of her friends and loved ones. She will leave countless lives better than she found them, and the souls she touched will never forget her kindness. I know I won't!
Pearl is the best!! She took care of my cat while I was on vacation and every morning/night she’d send me an update with a cute little picture of my pet ? She’s super patient and understanding, and will do her best to make your pet feel at home ☺️? Thank you, Pearl!

I live in a townhome community, making it a safe environment for dogs to go out and play or relieve themselves free from any traffic or surprises. Our neighbors are also very quiet and not in and out the house very often, so there is not a lot of distraction during walks or outdoor play time. Some of our neighbors are also loving dog owners and know how to handle or be around them. Otherwise, your pet will remain indoors in a spacious area of the living room during rest time, and can come out to the rest of the house with us to play during the daytime! Here are some essential "must-knows" we will ask before booking: • Is/are your dog(s) or cat(s) on any form of flea/tick control? • Is/are your pet(s) up-to-date with vaccinations? • Are there any behavioral or medical issues I should know about?

I care for my pets on a daily basis, with a few of them having their own life-long (non-contagious) conditions. One of them was a special needs cat, so I’m familiar with caring for pets as part of my lifestyle. I’m mostly at home throughout the week as I work from home and own my own business, allowing me time to always be around the furbabies! This flexibility is what allows me to look out for any potential issues/illnesses and to keep my pets happy and healthy.
