Rikki can host
Availability
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.

Information Rikki G. would like to know about your pet
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!
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. 🐾🫧

Pearl's Palace - A Dog’s Paradise
Pet care experience
Hi- I'm Rikki & Pearl is my shadow. I like to pamper animals with holistic care that leaves them feeling relaxed. 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 pet vacation 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!

Reviews
Rikki is very patient with my timid dog. She’s also very responsive to messages through the apps
We were lucky to find Perl Palace and Rikki for a last minute 4th of July weekend. Looks like Layla enjoyed the time with them and their other pet clients 🐕 . Rikki sent us daily pics and feedback, Perl was also good and gentle with Layla at meet up. We will for sure request their service again in the future 🙂
Fury always has a great time. He comes home wiped out from all the playing and socializing.
Rikki Rocks! It was wonderful working with Rikki and having her care for our Fiona. We received regular updates and photos of Fifi throughout her stay ~ and as an added bonus, the photos looked professionally done thanks to Rikki's unique props and sets! We highly recommend Rikki and look forward to Fiona staying with her again. P.S. Rikki's Great Dane, Pearl, is absolutely gorgeous ~ she and Fiona got along famously! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
