Pet care experience

Pet lover to all types 💕📸

🐾 Hello, my name is Raquel! I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to care for pets for over 10 years across Arizona, Florida, Montana, New Mexico and Washington. I’m incredibly grateful for the trust my clients continue to place in me—even as I’ve settled here in Queen Creek, AZ. I truly love all types of pets—small or large, curly, fluffy, or hairless, shy and gentle or playful and energetic. Each one has their own personality, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy getting to know and caring for. 🐾 PET PHOTOGRAPHY (BONUS PERK) In addition to pet sitting, I have a passion for photography and love capturing both portrait and action shots of the animals I care for. I often bring my camera along to document special moments with your pet. There’s absolutely no obligation to purchase these photos—I simply offer them as an optional add-on, and you’re welcome to give whatever you feel is appropriate. My goal is to create something meaningful while your pet is in my care.

Safety, trust & environment

🐾 WALKS / POTTY BREAKS / FEEDING / MEDICATION My goal is to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and care for them physically, medically, and emotionally—just as you would at home. Please provide detailed instructions regarding their schedule, feeding, medications, and any specific behaviors or needs I should be aware of. 🐾 WALKS / PLAY I’m a retired collegiate athlete (Diver @ NAU) who genuinely enjoys being active outdoors. Whether it’s walks, light runs, or playtime, I love having a furry companion by my side. I also enjoy slower moments—like relaxing, reading, and giving your pet the attention, comfort, and cuddles they deserve. 🐾 STRICT LEASH POLICY For your pet’s safety, I maintain a strict on-leash policy at all times. Dogs will only be off-leash if they are in a securely fenced front or backyard with your approval. 🐾 SAFETY FIRST APPROACH To ensure a safe and controlled environment, I do not allow interactions with other dogs or people during walks. I also avoid dog parks to minimize any risk of unpredictable situations.

I can’t say enough about Raquel. She is a top notch dog sitter. She stayed at my house for 8 hours of puppy sitting my 13 week old lil Peanut and was attentive to all his puppy needs. She also is the best with consistent communication and picture updates. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for the best puppy care!

Raquel is literally the best sitter. So good that you plan your trips around when she is available. As always, 5 stars isn’t enough. Thank you for always taking care of Zoey!

I cannot rave enough about Raquel. She goes out of her way - somehow gets my dog to pose like a model, my house is always neat and tidy when I come home and she communicates. Need a reliable person who will love your dog??? Ask for Raquel ❤️

🐾 PERSONALITY & PREFERENCES I truly enjoy all breeds and personalities—no preference here! Every pet is unique, and I love getting to know what makes yours special. I do ask that you share your pet’s routine, temperament, and any specific behaviors I should be aware of (such as triggers, separation anxiety, counter surfing, escape tendencies, etc.) so I can provide the best care possible. 🐾 MEET & GREETS I understand many owners prefer to schedule a Meet & Greet to ensure it’s a great fit for everyone. I’m happy to offer this one-on-one time so you and your pet(s) feel comfortable and confident moving forward. I do require a $30 fee for Meet & Greets to honor the time, care, and attention I dedicate to each visit. 🐾 Thank you so much—I look forward to meeting you and your fur family!
