Pet care experience

Gentle Care and happy walks

What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my calm, patient, and gentle approach to each dog. I pay close attention to their body language, needs, and comfort. I'm especially good with puppies who need gentle guidance and basic training, as well as with older dogs who require more leisurely walks, extra care, and a loving, comforting presence. I treat every pet as if it were my own, with the same kindness, respect, and affection I would want for my own.

Raquel was amazing with our high energy dog! She was friendly, detail oriented, asked lots of questions at our meet and greet, reached out if she had any questions or concerns during her stay, shared photos while we were away, and took great care of our fur baby and our home. I highly recommend Raquel if you need a top-notch dog sitter!

Raquel took care of our recent rescue, Mocha, for the first time and it went great! Mocha can be wary of new people, but Raquel was very patient with her and made her feel at ease. Raquel is a great and proactive communicator which made me comfortable as well. She followed all instructions and sent frequent updates/pictures. We are already looking to set up our next booking with Raquel!

This was our first time using Raquel and all went great. Our dog is extremely shy and literally hid from her for a little while. 😂 Raquel was not put off by him at all and she won him over! She provided a lot of updates and pictures while we were away. She did a great job.

If I could give Raquel more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! She far exceeded our expectations in every way. She stayed in our home and cared for our dogs while we were away for almost two weeks. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, organized, communicative, flexible, and so sweet and kind. Before and throughout our trip, she asked thoughtful questions to make sure she fully understood our dogs’ routines and care needs, and she did an amazing job keeping them on their normal schedule. She took exceptional care of our dogs, including one with multiple medications and special care needs, and kept us updated with lots of photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. She also took great care of our home, leaving everything neat and tidy when we returned. Most importantly, it was obvious how much she genuinely cared about our dogs. We’ve used many pet sitters over the years, and Raquel has quickly become our favorite. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, flexible, and genuinely caring pet sitter!!

Schedule

I recently moved and have free time since I have online classes during the week on alternate schedules, so I have time to play with your little ones and shower them with warmth and attention.

Safety, trust & environment

Within my family, three of them are a furry friend named Balu who is 7 years old, a cat named Copito who is 6 years old, and a kitten named Lucas who is 5 years old. I am used to taking care of them and keeping them under constant supervision, not only in their diet but also in their physical and emotional well-being.

A typical day with the pets I care for includes regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I make sure they get physical exercise and mental stimulation through games, exploration, and affection, while always respecting their routine and comfort.
