Hi! My name is Raquel Messinger. I’ve had multiple dogs and other animals throughout my childhood. All of my animals have had long, happy, and healthy lives. I started doing this because of my love of all animals, they make my day! I have a puppy and have had senior dogs as well so I have plenty of experiences for all ages.

Raquel did a great job. My dogs love her - not an easy accomplishment considering they are Belgians! I would recommend her to anyone!

I would like to know if there are any special needs the dog has, as well as when to feed him/her. I would need to know if you would like me to take the dogs on walks or anything else like that.
