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 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!

If we could give Rikki a 20 star rating we would!! Our sweet Izzy can be a handful/challenge but Rikki quickly figured her out beautifully! Rikki stayed on top of Izzy’s medication, understood her issues and somehow managed to keep up with Miss Izzy and her ways! Rikki sent pictures and updates which we loved- knowing Izzy was cared for made us relax!! We truly/ honestly can’t say enough positive things about Rikki! We feel so fortunate to have found someone we feel comfortable leaving Izzy! If we say more, Rikki may be too booked to keep Izzy in the future!! Definitely recommend Rikki!!!

Rikki took great care of my Boston Terrier Layla. She sent me daily pictures to put my heart as ease while I was out of town. This was my first time using Rikki to care for my fur baby while away due to my the other sitters being unavailable for the time frame that I needed. Rikki allowed me to do a meet and greet to ensure that my Boston terrier would feel comfortable. I would definitely use her in the future if needed. My Layla fit in well with her Great Dane as well. Rikki has a warm spirit and really has a love for pets.

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.

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!
