Pet care experience

Pearl's Palace - A Dog’s Paradise

Hi- I'm Rikki & Pearl is my shadow. I like to pamper animals with holistic care that leaves them feeling relaxed. I’m dog CPR certified. I also have extensive experience in senior dog care, ensuring that older pups receive the extra love, attention, and specialized care they deserve. Pearl's Palace, is like an animal "spa" surrounded by a welcoming community of pet-loving neighbors. With round the clock attention and care, we hope you and your pets find our home as comfortable as we do. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have!

Amazing Rover who keeps the owners up to date at all times. We had peace of mind that our pets were being cared for and pampered the entire time we were gone.

Schedule

From the moment your pup arrives, they’re welcomed like family. Mornings often start with a friendly sniff-and-greet, followed by some outdoor play or a stroll around the neighborhood to stretch those legs. If the weather’s nice, supervised pool time keeps things exciting (and doubles as a workout). Midday brings rest in a shaded spot or inside the home, with fresh water always available. Throughout the day, dogs enjoy a mix of play, cuddle breaks, and light grooming—nail checks, brushing, or a spritz of my handmade lavender-infused conditioner for relaxation and bug protection. Afternoon activities may include fetch, enrichment games, or lounging by the pool while soaking up the sun. Evening winds down with a final potty break, gentle pets, and plenty of praise before pick-up or bedtime, so your dog heads home happy, relaxed, and maybe just a little spoiled.

Pets

A typical day

Welcome to Pearl's Palace; Where Dogs Rule and Humans Drool! 🤤 🐾 As a dedicated pet care professional, I keep tails wagging and spirits high with plenty of walks, engaging playtime, refreshing swims, gentle grooming, cozy cuddles, and scenic rides (when permitted). I’m all about exceeding your pet’s expectations and making their stay feel like a five-star vacation with complimentary soap. 🐾🫧

Before your animal checks into Pearl’s Palace, here’s what I need to know: Their temperament (social butterfly or shy loner?), any medical needs or allergies, behavioral quirks (chewer, scaredy-cat, squirrel-obsessed?), exercise routine, training commands, house rules (furniture access, bed privileges?), interaction preferences (kids, other dogs, cats?), favorite toys or treats (bribery is key), and how they handle separation anxiety (chill or jailbreak artist). I appreciate your patience while I navigate the schedule - Pearl’s Palace is quite popular!
