Information Raquel H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any specific needs or allergies. My back yard is free of grass for any dogs that are allergic. Also if you’re dog is social with other dogs or not.

A typical day

I have lots of toys and shaded fenced back yard as well as a large front yard that dogs can explore. The front yard has green grass and trees. We have doggy pool days, movie nights and bubble parties. I have special music to calm puppies at night as well.

Dog loving home w/large fenced yard

Pet care experience

I have a love for animals in particular dogs. I have had big and small dogs all of my life. I have a big home with a large fenced yard and lots of play spaces for dogs who prefer privacy. All dogs sleep inside where I have baby gates and lots of fun areas . I have experience with nervousness and shelter dogs. All first time clients receive a free doggy bandana and all of the proceeds from your tips go to the “Race for Autism 2026”.

Raquel and her family were fantastic with my fur kids. I received pictures of the fur kids every single day for two while I was on vacation. I honestly believe my dogs wanted to stay with her family once I got back. I will definitely rebook with her.

My dog was very well taken care of and came back with a smile on her face and a gift! I appreciated the daily reports of her day that came with pictures. Very likely to return next time I need a dog sitter, and will recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.

Raquel and her family took such great care of Carmelo over the weekend for us 😊 We received updates and pictures and even a report card when we picked him up! We will absolutely be bringing Carmelo back to stay at Raquel's again!

Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Boris for the whole week. When I picked him up, he looked even better than when I dropped him off. It honestly felt like he had been on vacation! Thank you as well for all the beautiful photos—you truly made my day. We will definitely be back again ☺️
