Pet care experience
Free Meet & Greets! 🐶 Hi! Please call me Raq ☺️ Like a lot of people on this app, I was raised around animals and created special bonds with them early in life. I’ve always been the type of person to protect and care for the innocent, animals being my first priority. (Not just pets, lots of wild animals like mice & toads trapped in the window wells around my neighborhood as a child!) I had 2 dogs in my home growing up, and rescued my own fur baby right out of high school! Last year I took in a foster kitten, who unexpectedly had 3 kittens in my home, and I cared for them for 8 weeks until they were old enough to find their forever homes. I’m here to offer some loving vibes, cuddles, and attention to your fur baby when you’re away and need someone to check up on them. I also have experience administering insulin & medication to cats & dogs.

We LOVE Raquel! I feel so blessed and lucky to have found her on Rover.com! She stayed with our two dogs and cat for 7 days while we were visiting family. Our dog, Appa, doesn't like other dogs (except our little elderly Maltipoo), so boarding is impossible. Raquel bonded with him right away. Last night at bedtime, he walked to the room Raquel was using while she was here. He slept on the bed with her while we were gone and I think he was missing her. ❤️ Our dog, Emma, came down with something a couple of days before we left and Raquel literally nursed her back to health. She is her elderly, perky self again! Raquel gave her the meds and hand fed her part of the time. Our cat, Kitty, felt very comfortable with Raquel as well. And... our home was cleaner when we came home than it was when we left! We will DEFINITELY be using Raquel again - many, many times in the future! We only just met her before the trip, but I feel like she's a part of us now. Raquel is absolutely AMAZING with animals!
Raquel was great! Always punctual for drop ins with the new kitten. It looked like he had plenty of play and cuddle time too.
Raquel is SO great! She was flexible in the face of last minute changes and even won over my very anxious, defensive rescue dogs. Highly recommend.
Raquel was incredible with my two cats, one of which is diabetic. She was prompt, communicative and an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her!
About Raquel A.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat all animals as if they were my own. I have a huge soft spot for older animals who need a little more attention and enough energy and patience to handle the younger ones!
Information Raquel A. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I need to account for. I am extra observant with reactive dogs and dogs that are a flight risk.
A typical day
They say mental stimulation is more effective for energy levels than physical stimulation. I’m all ears & open to any of your special requirements for your pet!
