Paw Pals Pet Services

Paw Pals Pet Services is an in-home pet care service based in Riverside, California, for dog owners weighing dog boarding in Riverside against keeping a dog at home. Instead of a kennel stay, a sitter comes to the house for daily visits and handles the dog's routine there. The service covers the practical side of an empty house as well, not only the dog.

What each visit covers

• Daily visits to pets in their home
• Food and water provided
• Exercise and playtime included
• Medication administration as needed
• Mail and newspaper pickup

That last item matters more than it sounds: mail piling up is the clearest sign a house is empty. The rest is the daily rhythm most dogs already know: meals, a walk or play session, and any medication that has to go down on schedule. In-home visits like these generally suit dogs that settle better in familiar rooms, dogs on a medication routine, and households with more than one pet.

Practical details

The address on file is in Riverside, CA 92501, and the listed contact is (951) 452-8868. Paw Pals Pet Services does not publish business hours, visit lengths, or rates, so those details are worth settling by phone before a trip. Owners with a dog on medication should say so early, since medication administration is listed among the services included in a visit. A phone call is also the way to confirm how far the sitter travels for visits.
