About
Welcome to Your Best Friend Pet Services!
With over 13 years in business, I provide trusted house sitting, dog walking, and pet sitting tailored to each pet and their family. I take time to learn how you communicate with your pets so I can mirror your cues and routines, helping them feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.
As a lifelong pet parent myself, I know that pets are family. My goal is for your pet to feel almost as comfortable with me as they do with you.
I carry pet sitter liability insurance for myself and my husband, who lends a hand from time to time. You can view the certificate on my website.
If you’re looking for reliable, personalized care for your furry family members, I’d love to connect and learn more about their needs.

Holly was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Willow. She is professional and offered many great ideas at our meet-and-greet. She sent loads of pictures and videos from each visit documenting how Willow’s routine was followed and also how happy he was. When we arrived back home he was relaxed and happy as if we’d never been away. We 100% would hire her again the next time a pet sitter is needed.
Details: Cat • 1 pet • Changing litter or bedding • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Standard visit (60 minutes) • Two times a day • My home, venue, etc.

Holly and Peva are incredibly proactive and responsive. Gill loves when they go on walks with him and they send me a text and picture daily to reassure and delight me as they both have great senses of humor. I wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone looking for dogwalking!

We recently had the pleasure of contracting with Your Best Friend Pet Services to care for our dog and cat while we visited family in Southern California. The owner, Holly Pardel, was professional and friendly throughout. She scheduled a time at our convenience to come to our house to meet with us and our pets, Roxie and Roscoe. She allowed us to explain exactly the care needed for each animal. Her warmth and attention to detail immediately put both myself and my wife at ease and allowed us to leave for our trip confident that our "kids" were in very good hands. Holly came to our house twice a day. Her visits included feeding, administering medications to our lab, Roxie, as well as taking her for walks around the neighborhood. She sent numerous photos and videos of Roxie at play which again served to reassure us that all was well at home. She also took in the mail for us, and even fed our goldfish, Sunkist! Upon our return home after nearly a week's absence, we found our pets healthy and happy. Her rates are extremely reasonable for the services provided (much less than if we had boarded them). I can recommend without reservation Holly Pardel for all of your dogwalking and pet sitting needs. Thanks again Holly!

Holly has been great with my dog! She has taken her from a pup to a good dog! It was not easy but Holly has been excellent with my Golden retriever. I would recommend her services!
