This is a long overdue review. Also, I think this is more like a thank-you letter to Jen than a…read morereview. As many others have stated, Jen is amazing. Our dog, Shaka, just loved spending time with her and the other pups she cared for. We were a little worried at first about his temperament being around others (humans and other animals) since he gets a little skittish, but he seemed to thrive there. When it was pick-up time, he was always happy and seemed to sleep very well from getting his exercise and socialize in. (He also smelled great on his longer stays. Thank you for the baths!) Jen is super flexible and communicative. We were so appreciative of this since we tend be rather spontaneous and would ask to drop him off the day before sometimes. We also would extend his stay last minute, for example, when we were taking road trips and wanted to stop for the night instead of driving all the way through a town. (Sorry and thank you so much, Jen!) Shaka has stayed over from one day to two weeks (possibly more), and each time, we've received text updates from her and even pictures of him happy with his friends. I always looked forward to those. Shaka passed away early last year, and I've been meaning to write this for a long time to say, "Thank you, Jen!" for being such a wonderful caregiver and trustworthy and friendly person overall. Dog parents, I 1000% recommend Jen.

He adapted to our ever changing schedule and helped us out so many times in a pinch. Winston loves Nate and I am so happy we found Urban Dogger.

They've walked her for 6+ years and every time they drop by, it's the highlight of her day. They send text updates on how she's doing and she usually gets post-walk zoomies because of all the fun she's had.

But Nikki at Pearl Paws is a natural lion tamer! :) Nikki has been there for us, feeding Jam and keeping him comfortable on the occasions that we are away. You can forget about stressing about your pet while they are in the care of Pearl Paws. Really! Leaving your pet in the care of Pearl Paws, you can be confident that not only will they get the care they need, there will be someone that truly cares about them and will show them love. Pearl Paws is reliable, trustworthy, and kind. What more can you ask for? Many other companies you'll find on yelp (and ones we have used in the past) outsource the pet care services and you end up with a different freelance person each day. This was not what we were interested in. We wanted a personal relationship with the person that came to take care of Jam. And upon first meeting with Nikki and/or Tony, you get to know the lovely individual that will be in your home every day. Honestly, you'll feel like you have a good friend hanging out with your fur baby. It's the best. Highly recommend!

We met with the owners Nikki and Tony as soon as we moved in to introduce our baby girl Madiba. The rapport was instant. I instantly trusted them and could feel and see their love for and respect of dogs in the way they interacted with Madiba and the questions they asked me. First of all, I should say that I don't trust people easily and I definitely don't trust easily when it comes to Madiba but I knew this was a perfect match. I know they care for Madiba with love and they connect with her. This is critical to me. We use Pearl Paws for both walking and sitting and i can't describe the peace of mind I feel when I know Madiba is with Nikki and Tony. It's easy to schedule with them. They are flexible and will work with your schedule. Their prices are extremely reasonable. They do sitting by the hour and overnight as well. Their love of animals is not limited to dogs, they care for a number of cats as well. If you live in Block 17, NV or any building nearby, you'd be crazy not to rely on Pearl Paws.

I need someone who has a lot of experience and knows how to handle a sometimes ticky dog. Janelle knows everything there is to know. She cares for my dog as much as I do. I do not trust any other service to take care of Ginger when I go out of town. Janelle is flexible and is always willing to work with the client's schedules. It's important to be available and understanding, which she is. She is great at communicating about walks and my dog's behavior which for an overprotective dog mom such as myself is a huge relief. I feel that the walk pictures speak for themselves.
