Pet care experience

Pet Care You Can Trust 💟

What sets me apart is the level of care and experience I bring from a lifetime of being around animals. I grew up with all kinds of pets and have personally trained and cared for my own dog from puppy through their senior years, so I understand the full spectrum of their needs. I’m confident with puppy training basics—like leash manners, crate routines, and reinforcing commands—and I’m equally attentive with senior care, including slower walks, medication routines, and extra comfort and patience. I treat every pet like my own and tailor my approach to their personality and routine. You can also expect consistent updates, photos, and communication so you always feel at ease while you’re away.

Raquel took care of my Bichon and was amazing! She sent me pictures/videos and her dog was very playful and friendly. I’ll be booking again.

“I highly recommend Raquel for pet care. She is fun, loving, reliable, and genuinely cares about every animal she looks after. Her kindness, patience, and attention to detail make pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy in her care. Raquel treats every pet as if they were her own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and affection. Any pet owner would be lucky to have someone as trustworthy and compassionate as Raquel caring for their furry family members.”

We had a family emergency and had to fly out and didn’t know what to do with our pups. Was so grateful to find Raquel so last minute. Leaving our dogs wasn’t easy, but she made the whole experience stress-free. It was clear they were well cared for. We loved receiving updates while we were away, and came home to a happy pups. We’re so grateful for the excellent and last minute care and would happily book with her again!

Raquel took amazing care of my two dogs, a Beagle and a Basset Hound, while I was away. One of my dogs is a strong puller on walks, but Raquel handled her with patience and confidence. She made sure both dogs were well cared for, happy, and comfortable throughout their stay. Raquel has such a warm and caring personality, and it was clear from the moment she met them that she genuinely loves animals. She was reliable, communicative, and attentive to their needs. My dogs took a liking to her right away, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Raquel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I would absolutely book with her again!

Schedule

Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to focus on the pets I’m caring for. I structure my day to make sure pets get consistent attention—morning walks, feeding, playtime, and regular check-ins throughout the day. I’m very organized and make sure I’m not overbooked, so every pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve. Whether it’s sticking to a specific routine or providing updates to owners, I make it a priority to be reliable and attentive.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment. I have a fully fenced patio where dogs can get fresh air and supervised outdoor time, and I also have a friendly, well-behaved dog who loves having company and helps keep your fur baby social and entertained. I stick closely to each pet’s routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and downtime so they feel at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow your exact instructions for feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and routines, while also giving plenty of attention, play, and companionship. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping pets physically and mentally stimulated while making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. For dogs, we’ll play lots of games, go on engaging walks, check out new smells around the neighbourhood, and explore a big park near my house for extra exercise and enrichment. I also enjoy reinforcing basic commands and routines during playtime and walks. For cats, I love interactive play with toys, laser games, brushing, and giving them attention at their own pace. Every pet gets plenty of affection, fun, and personalized care based on their personality and energy level.

Before sitting, I’d love to know about your pet’s personality, routine, energy level, and any special needs so I can make them feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. It’s also helpful to know about feeding schedules, favourite activities, triggers or fears, medical needs, training routines, and how they interact with other people or animals. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can tailor their care, keep their routine consistent, and make their time away from you stress-free and fun.
