Flexible professional critter lover
Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Raquel and I have been caring for and loving cats, dogs, chickens, and even the occasional reptile personally and professionally for around 15 years. I have four dogs and three cats myself (Hillary, Kennedy, Maddie, Gretchen, Bert, Ernie, and Ruth to be exact!) I've been "critter-sitting" professionally as a side gig and loving it for about 5 years! I really enjoy house/critter sitting for a number of days at a time and am also more than happy to make visits and take your pups for walks! Aside from pet care, I work 90% remotely as a life and business coach for people with chronic illnesses, and am also an online college communication professor, which enables me to remain flexible and spend time with your animals as well! I am comfortable and experienced with administering many types of medication to animals with special needs (including shots! no biggie!). I'm a very detail-oriented, quick-learning, all around capable human who would love to get to know your fur babies! As previously mentioned I also have some experience caring for chickens and reptiles (specifically snakes) and am still learning!
Reviews
Raquel and Melissa were very attentive to our pets. Their house has a lovely big backyard where they can play. They sent pictures so we could see how our dogs were settling in while we were gone. We came back from vacation to happy pets and they really would have happily stayed with them. Highly recommend and will use again.
Raquel was absolutely wonderful with our pups over the holidays! She was lovely to coordinate with, asked questions, and genuinely cared about what they needed and when.
Racquel has been a reliable and responsible caregiver for our puppy. She's detail- oriented, asks good questions, and enjoys a great rapport with our fur baby.

Information Raquel H. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences. I'd be very curious about any history of aggression toward people or animals and potential triggers.
A typical day
I am open to all sorts of fun activities that your dog likes! Fun walks, fetch, games of keep away and even playfully chasing your dog around the house! I've also never met a cat that didn't love a good toy on a string or a laser pointer.
