Information Raquel N. would like to know about your pet

I like to know how social your pup is, their diet/dietary restrictions, and level of leash and potty training. Please share your dog’s sleep and potty hours so I can keep them to schedule! Please let me know ahead of our booked hours if your dog needs mobility assistance or special medication needs (vitamin/insulin hours).

A typical day

My goal is to make sure your pup sleeps well after our visit! I have my favorite doggy parks mapped out and ranked according to busyness. I can assist if your pup needs leash training, transportation to and from appointments, or sensory friendly activities.

Raquel was such a reliable sitter for Ghostie, my Chihuahua mix! He really warmed up to her even though he gets antsy around new people. He also gets anxious with taking his meds and being left alone for too long, so I don't trust him with just anybody. But Raquel made the medication bearable for him and spent a lot of time with him over the four days that I was gone. I really appreciate that my little guy was well cared for and would hire Raquel again any time.

Gary tends to withdraw when I leave, but Raquel quickly able to make him comfortable. He maintained his normal playfulness and jovial spirit - probably because she was super attentive to his needs and seemingly was able to assure him that he was safe and comforted the entire time I was away.

Raquel is a dear niece who helped pet-sit my family’s pug whenever my wife and I left town for business or pleasure. After Chuck was diagnosed with diabetes, I was worried about finding the right sitter for him. However, since Raquel’s own dog had diabetes, she knew how to administer insulin through a needle and gave fresh food recommendations that Chuck really enjoyed. I knew he was in the right hands. Chuck always reacted well to her, even on errands and vet visits.
