Friendly, caring pet lover!
Pet care experience
I adopted my first cat when I was in high school and my rescue dog when I was in college. They're both still with me 13 and 9 years later. It's safe to say I'm obsessed with animals and all pets--I love greeting new pups when I go on walks. I am welcoming and patient with new animal friends so they can approach me on their own terms, too. I have experience taking care of friends' pets when they're away and love my own two pets dearly. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member!
Reviews
We have a quirky and suspicious dog, and Raquel handled her with ease. We would definitely choose her to dog sit for us again!
Raquel is consistent, dependable, and fantastic at communication (with photos/videos and words 😂). I continue to use her as often as she’s available and recommend her to anyone needing pet care.
My dog experienced issues with his paw and Raquel was responsive and accommodating to all his needs! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable and caring dog sitter for their pet.
I will continue to rebook Raquel! She takes excellent care of my cat and always writes sweet messages and sends cute pictures from her visits.

I am adaptable and flexible to your pet's needs and their home environment. I cannot currently care for your pet in my home, but am happy to take them on walks and make drop-in visits.
Information Raquel Z. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pets have any special needs when it comes to treats or interactions with other animals. For example, if your dog prefers to stay away from other dogs or people during walks.
A typical day
I love to go on walks with dogs and make sure they get the mental and physical stimulation they need from outside activity. I like to have a healthy mix of following them at their own pace and encouraging more exploration. I know each pup is different--some might want to spend more time sniffing and some need to expend energy on longer walks! I am also happy to play with your pup during drop in visits--if they love fetch or other games I'm happy to initiate some play time and/or any additional treat rewards.
