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!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, her communication is great, she sends constant photos and updates. She’s such a sweet lady and she brings comforting energy, she took great care of my cat!

Our Golden Retriever, Penny, was a little shy during her first boarding stay, but Raquel's kind attention and pup-friendly home made her feel safe and well cared for as seen in the many photos and updates we received. We have already booked Penny's next stay with Raquel!

We had a wonderful experience! She provided excellent care for my dog and kept me updated with plenty of photos throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. I am so happy with the service she provided and will definitely be booking her again in the future!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Raquel! We were away for a week, and she took such wonderful care of Butters. She was extremely responsive and sent multiple updates and pictures every single day. She took her time helping Butters adjust, ensuring he was properly and safely introduced to the other dogs she was boarding. It was clear in every photo how happy and content he was—especially with all the great outdoor areas for him to sniff and explore to his heart's content. Knowing he was in such capable and loving hands gave us complete peace of mind while out of state. I’m sure he will miss her and his new furry friends, and we will definitely book with her again for our next trip

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.
