Pet care experience

I WFH, so your pet doesn’t have to be alone!

Growing up in South Africa, there was never a time we didn’t have animals in our home - they were a part of our family! Being surrounded by pets from a young age taught me how to care for them with love, patience, and compassion. I now live in Wandsworth Town with my husband, and we both absolutely love animals. While he enjoys their company as much as I do, I would be the primary carer as I work remotely - with a 4-day work week - allowing me to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care; whether it’s for daycare, walks, or overnight stays.

Raquel is attentive, caring, and great at sending updates so I could see first hand all the fun my pup was having with her! Couldn’t recommend enough!

We couldn’t be happier with the care Curry received during her stay with Raquel & Rob! From the very beginning, they were very friendly, caring, attentive and incredibly communicative. They sent us lots of photos and updates throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy and comfortable Curry was with them. Our dog was well cared for, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed her time with them. We are very grateful to get to know them and would absolutely trust them with our dog again in the future.

Taffy enjoyed the day care at Raquel's and would love to return in the future. Raquel, along with Rob are true and affectionate dog lovers and listened to Taffy's needs and instructions in detail and made him feel at home by taking active care. We're really happy that Taffy was well looked after when we had to be away for the evening.

Raquel was a great sitter. I received continuous updates throughout the day and I’m pretty sure my puppy didn't want to leave. Would highly recommend!

Raquel and Rob were absolutely wonderful with Bob. They took such great care of him, kept us updated, and made him feel completely at home. He clearly bonded with them — he was genuinely sad to leave! Would happily book with Raquel gain!

Schedule

I'm fully remote, including a four day work week. This allows me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets, and they would not be alone during the day.
