Availability

As a teacher, I have the advantage of getting home in the early afternoons, giving me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive care, whether it's afternoon walks, playtime, or companionship. Additionally, I have full availability on weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer, making me a reliable option for pet parents who need consistent and loving care year-round.

Pet care experience

As an elementary school teacher and a lifelong pet owner, I bring patience, responsibility, and a nurturing touch to pet sitting. Caring for both children and animals has taught me the importance of routine, positive reinforcement, and meeting individual needs—whether that means giving extra cuddles, administering medication, or keeping up with an energetic pup. Having owned pets my entire life, I understand how much they mean to you, and I treat every furry friend as if they were my own. Whether it’s puppy training, senior pet care, or simply providing love and companionship, I’m here to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for!

Raquel H did an amazing job watching my puppy Bella for a full week! She took such great care of her and made the whole experience completely stressfree for me. Raquel sent plenty of updates, photos, and messages throughout the stay, which really helped me feel confident that Bella was happy and well cared for the entire time. It was clear Bella was getting lots of attention, love, and playtime, and I truly appreciated how thoughtful and communicative Raquel was from start to finish. I would absolutely trust her to watch Bella again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring puppy sitter!
