Warm, loving & experience petsitter

Pet care experience

Hey there! My name is Raquel, a college graduate with a minor in veterinary studies and i’ve loved all animals my entire life. I dedicated a large part of my childhood and school years to volunteering with shelters and rescues so there really isn't a breed I haven’t loved working with! I come from a family of dog lovers, my sisters owning a total of 9 collectively. Family reunions are packed! (no pun intended) My best friend (a vet tech) owns a dog grooming and boarding business, which I like to help out with on occasion so I guess you can say I’m living a dog lovers dream!

Wonderful! My dog was so happy and Raquel checked in regularly with pics. Can’t wait to use her again.

Information Raquel M. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know the following: 1. How active is your dog? 2. How does your dog interact with other humans/children and pets? 3. Any triggers for aggression or fear? 4. Is your dog potty trained? What’s their usual schedule? 5. Do they get separation anxiety?

A typical day

A typical day with me starts off with a morning walk, followed by breakfast. Though I’m a homebody at heart, I love taking advantage of nice weather and being outside on the weekends especially after the last few years we’ve had being forced to stay indoors! There’s quite a few parks and trails nearby, but I also have a car so I’m able to go just about anywhere. The beach boardwalk (weather permitting) is always a big hit (always leashed)

When I’m trusted with the responsibility of taking care of someone’s fur baby, my schedule revolves around my guest! I try to include them in everything I do and if I can’t bring them along, that thing can wait. The pets take priority.
