I will respect your pet like it’s my own. I had chihuahua for about 8 years and I have never had issues with him escaping or getting hurt. I’m attentive of their needs.

Information Raquel C. would like to know about your pet

I prefer small dogs but I’m open to other breeds and sizes if they are house trained. I want to know their feeding and walking schedule as well as any special quirks they may have

A typical day

I love dogs so playing with them and keeping them stimulated is fun for me as it is for the dog. I also enjoy walks around the neighborhood.I will respect the requests of the owners.

Pet care experience

Update: I recently started fostering so if you need to book a Dogsitting session, please schedule me way in advance so I can give the shelter a heads up that I will be letting the dog stay at the shelter those days. Thank you! Hi! I am interested in dog sitting because I just bought a house with a decent yard and no dogs to enjoy it with. I have plenty of space with even more love to spare. I work remote so I’m available to dogsit M-Sun. I had a senior chihuahua with CHF so I know how to give meds and check for any complications. He’s since crossed the rainbow bridge after almost a year of battling with CHF. He was my best friend. I have always treated my dog like my child and I will do the same with any dog that comes into my life. I am great at snuggling and walks and any extra care that your dog might need. I don’t break rules so if you have any specific requirements for your dog, I will follow them. I’m mostly doing this to give back because I am so grateful I got to meet my little love bug and I want to pay it forward. I am always in contact as well (I send lots of pics…sometimes professional too). I LOVE SENIOR DOGS BTW. Thanks.

Raquel is absolutely the best. She keeps me updated with King and Rico's stay with pictures and messages about their day. I will definitely be booking with her again.

This was my first time leaving King and Rico outside of my family's care. Raquel did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my fur babies and at the same time putting my anxiety at ease. I would definitely be booking with her again.
