Introduction: Hi there and welcome to Your Best Friend Pet Services’ profile! We like to work with pet parents to see how they interact with their companion pets so that we can provide the same kinds of communication cues when we’re caring for them. Having pets ourselves, we understand how strongly people feel about their pets... they are members of the family. We want pets to be (almost) as comfortable with us as they are with their pet parents.

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 dog walking!

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 dog walking and pet sitting needs. Thanks again Holly!

We contacted YBFPets after seeing them recommended on NextDoor. They stopped by, met our dog, and we hired them for a short pet sit to see how everyone got along. Things went fine so we had them pet/house sit for six days. They sent lots of pics to show our dog being attended to and obviously enjoying himself. We are bringing them back for a longer stay next month. They are very reliable and keep their commitments. Holly is running a real, full-time business and will do whatever she can to meet your needs.
