Pet care experience

🌿Calm and responsible pet care

I have been surrounded by animals my whole life, including cats, dogs, birds, and fish. I also have experience supporting animal rescue work, which strengthened my patience and sensitivity toward animals with different backgrounds and needs. To further deepen my knowledge, I will soon begin a legally recognized FBA training in dog and cat care (Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office – BLV), strengthening my understanding of dog and cat health and behaviour.

I have known Raquel for several years, and one thing that has always stood out to me is her genuine love and respect for animals. She is naturally caring, patient, and attentive, and animals seem to feel comfortable around her very quickly. As a friend, I have seen firsthand how seriously she takes the responsibility of caring for pets. She pays attention to details, follows instructions carefully, and always wants to make sure animals feel safe, happy, and well looked after. What I appreciate most is her calm and gentle approach. Whether with cats, dogs, or other animals, she takes the time to understand their personality and needs rather than expecting them to adapt to her. I would trust Raquel to care for my own pets without hesitation and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. — Mike, Friend

Raquel is amazing with my dog Cooper! She’s super reliable, and he always comes back happy and tired. I’m so glad we found her. Definitely recommend!

Raquel made our dogs days happier while we were away on holiday. She took amazing care of them, and we could feel that they were comfortable, relaxed, and very happy with her. She is incredibly kind and attentive, always keeping us updated with videos and pictures, which was very important for us and gave us peace of mind during our trip. We can highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Schedule

I am currently fully dedicated to pet care, so I have plenty of time to spend with your paw friends 🐾 I always adapt to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs, whether that includes walks, playtime, mental stimulation, brushing, cuddles, companionship, or simply calm presence. I also like to reinforce existing routines and training to help pets feel secure and consistent in their daily habits.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in a calm, safe, and familiar environment, always following their usual routine as closely as possible. Before each stay or visit, I take time to understand the pet’s personality, habits, and specific needs, including feeding, medication, and preferences. During care, I make sure all essentials are covered (food, water, cleanliness, comfort) and I spend quality time with each pet through walks, play, gentle interaction, or quiet companionship—always respecting their boundaries. I also provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners can feel completely at ease while away. For me, every pet is unique, and I treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own.

A typical day

I adapt each day to the pet’s routine, energy, and personality. Active pets enjoy walks, playtime, and simple enrichment activities, while calmer pets receive gentle companionship, brushing, cuddles if they like them, or quiet presence for comfort. I always follow the owner’s instructions and reinforce familiar routines when needed, making sure each pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for throughout the day.

To make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for, I would appreciate knowing a few important details before the stay 😊 First of all is important to know if your dog is ok with cats, because I have one. Also: 1. Routine, health & special needs Please share your pet’s daily routine, personality, allergies, medications, medical conditions, or any special care instructions that may help me provide the best possible experience. 2. Walks & behaviour outdoors For dogs, it is helpful to know how they behave during walks — for example, if they pull on the leash, react to other dogs or people, are fearful in certain situations, or have specific training routines. 3. Cleanliness before arrival To maintain a clean and comfortable environment for all pets, I kindly ask that pets arrive clean and well groomed whenever possible. 4. What to bring for the stay Please bring everything your pet may need during their stay, such as food, bowls, leash or harness, bed or blanket, favourite toys, medication, and any items that help them feel safe and at home. 5. Vaccinations & parasite prevention For everyone’s safety, pets should have up-to-date vaccinations and be free from fleas, ticks, or other parasites. 6. Behaviour & socialisation Please let me know if your pet experiences separation anxiety, destructive behaviour, excessive barking, or has difficulty interacting with other animals or unfamiliar people. Honest communication helps me create the safest and calmest environment possible for your pet. Thank you for your trust, I look forward to caring for your furry family member 🐾
