Pet care experience

Happiness is a warm puppy

My experience in Pet Care is from having my own homeless animal shelter located in South America. I have experience healing animals physically and emotionally. I am a certified first aid professional for dogs, cats and birds. I love them all, from tiny ones to gentle giants. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets in your absence. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

Raquel is fantastic! My normal sitter was out of town and she made it a seamless transition. Think I have a new sitter actually! My old pup can be a jerk but she spent hours making sure he was comfortable with everything. Even made a bunch of friends along the way! Endless pictures and constant communication made everything a breeze

Raquel was awesome. Our anxious little fur baby had an amazing stay. She sent pictures several times a day and it made my trip so much more relaxing knowing she was not only being cared for, but spoiled too.

Our dog Ellie stayed with Raquel for 2 weeks. She clearly enjoys caring for pets. She sent us photos of Ellie twice daily showing her playing in the yard with other dogs. We appreciated her offer to bathe Ellie on her last day. Definitely recommend Raquel for your pet!

we have nothing but praise for Raquel's sitting for our dog Moe. She kept us well informed on how things were going with texts and pictures. It really gave us peace of mind because Moe hasn't been boarded often and really seemed anxious and scared when he was. When we picked him up he showed no sign of anxiety at all. We hope to use Raquel again. She seemed to be a perfect fit for Moe. She provided a constant sense of security and companionship that you don't get in a kennel

Raquel is by far the best sitter. Sophie loves to go to her house.

Schedule

I am fully available, every day of the week I have my schedule ready to welcome a new four-legged angel. My service includes personalized care since I do not accept more than three pets at a time. I'm very dedicated and professional. You will receive updated photos throughout the day of what your pet is doing. I have a large fenced backyard for your pet to sunbathe, smell flowers, and relax. Your pet can take a nap in my own bed or in a dedicated bed in the house for your four-legged child.

A typical day

In the mornings I will wake up with your pet and we will go to the backyard so she/he can sunbathe and do their business. After a relaxing morning, they will have breakfast with fresh water and relax in the house. Afterwards, we will go back to the backyard to play. They will exercise their sense of smell as they will smell the plants, flowers, and different smells in my garden. After this, they will rest and be pampered until it is time for them to sleep. During the day you will receive multiple photos and updates of your four-legged baby. FEEDING TIME: I make sure to feed all of our angels separately, in separate spaces.
