Raquel is absolutely amazing!!!! She communicated so well with my dog. We felt so safe with her. My dog is elderly and she took care of him so well. I would recommend Raquel ! She deserves more than a five star review ..,. My husband and I are very Grateful for her!

Dog Walking • Aug 27, 2022

Raquel was a real treat to meet! She was great with my dog, Molly and was patient with my constant scheduling modifications. Raquel is very punctual with the times I selected and walks through the door at that time. Not a moment to soon or a moment too late. I am very pleased with Raquel's professionalism. I have found Molly's walker!

Raquel was amazing! I was nervous about leaving my pup for a few days but I felt at ease having Raquel there. She was great at communication and I came home to not only a happy dog but a clean house. She’s the best and really helped me out when I was in a pinch to get a sitter. 10/10 recommend :)

Communication is very important to me since I'm good at worrying about my dog Abby when I am not the one taking care of her. Thankfully, Raquel kept me updated and sent me pictures letting me know that they were doing well. If you are looking for a responsive sitter, Raquel would be great!

Schedule

My schedule is fairly open. I do 4 days a week at Banfield Pet Hospital but I usually get out of work before 7. I am able to check in on pets during my lunch break and am open to staying 1+ week overnight with any pet. On my days off, my availability is completely open morning to night

Safety, trust & environment

In my own house, I typically let the fur babies explore around the living room and back yard with my fur babies unless the owner states they are not good with other animals. As for the pet owner house, I am open to whatever way you would like me to care for your baby. I offer drops ins, boarding, walks, and over night stays so my service vary based on the owners preference.

Pets

A typical day

I typically like to ask during meet and greets about the pets energy level and if they have any favorite activities for us to partake in together. If there are no specific instructions, I like to play outside with the fur babies and find a nice open are to go for a walk with the fur baby.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Raquel can host up to 1 pet per night
Things I like to ask before hand is the eating schedule, does the dog have any medications they take, how often the fur baby needs to be taken for a walk, what specifically they eat, if there are places the pet is not allowed to be, does the pet have a bed time, and what the fur baby likes to do for fun
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
