Pet care experience

I’ve loved, enjoyed & taken care of different breeds of dogs since I was a child. I’m currently in grooming school and I provide baths for your pup during their stay, as an additional service, so they can go home nice and clean (certain breeds depending on their coat). I am a volunteer with Rescue One, and I signed up to foster pups who have been surrendered or rescued and are waiting to be adopted. I have experience and understand well dogs that suffer from separation anxiety. Making their stay comfortable is a priority and keeping parents informed with updates, pictures, and videos to reassure their pup is being loved on and their anxiety is set at ease. I especially understand and cater to pups and parents whom have never been apart before. It can be nerve racking for pup and parent and setting an environment and communication is what I provide to make pup/parents first time a breeze. I encourage meet and greets before a stay to make sure parents and pups are comfortable.

Sunny had great fun playing with the other dogs. I loved receiving the videos of him playing with everyone while I was on my trip. My friends enjoyed watching them, too. Raquel did a great job taking care of him.

Very sweet and caring family! They made the whole process seamless for new comers to Rover. She sent updates and loved on my pup and made us feel so comfortable being away from him for the night. 100% recommend Raquel!

Karmin, my puppy had A wonderful time. We got her back just as we left her, loving and cuddling. Raquel did an excellent Job and I would recommend her to anyone. Sent picture and videos to me of Karmin and responded to my messages almost immediately. Thank you Raquel!

I have a fenced in yard, and pups are welcome to be free in the house. If needed or preferred by the pup parent, I have Great Dane sized kennels that provide safety and and ample room for comfort. I am especially vigilant in the behavior of pups interaction with other pups. Safety is a priority and if at any point I feel your pup is nervous or uncomfortable with another pup, I have the set up to keep them separated yet still having fun! Whatever your pups needs are, I can accommodate.

Information Raquel C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. Please let me know if your dog is friendly with other dogs. If they are not friendly with other dogs we can discuss proper arrangements/schedule to make sure all fur babies remain safe at all times. I do require that vaccinations be up to date and ask for a copy to be provided.

A typical day

I love to make time for play and exercise, I have a nice size fenced yard to play in and I live near nathanael greene park. On weekends we enjoy taking a little road trip to busiek state park for a nice hike. Don’t worry if that’s not your pups thing we can always just stay at the house and simply relax. ☺️
