I love 4-legged babies!
Pet care experience
I have loved dogs since I was a child. We always had a dog growing up and as soon as I moved into my first apartment alone, I got a dog. Since then, we have had many dogs in our home with my children. My children also share my love of dogs and they enjoy having them in our home. They join in the care and nurturing of every animal that we host. Your pup will certainly be welcome in our home, and we look forward to getting to take care of your best friend while you’re away! I have over 20 years experience caring for my own dogs. I have been with Rover for over a year now as a sitter and walker, but have also taken in and raised foster dogs. I love getting to help make sure that pups have all the love and affection they need to thrive. I currently have four dogs of are own, and two of them are fosters. Our newest addition was found on the streets after a major hurricane and she has adjusted very well to life in our home! My pups tend to be very spoiled, but only because they are so loved! I have 3 teenage boys who live with me and they are very helpful when we are hosting pets in our home. I have 4 small dogs in my home and they love having friends in the home to play with, so your pup will never be at a loss for a playmate! Your pup will always be treated as if they were one of our own, but they will always have tons of love between their new human and canine friends. My neighborhood is called Sienna Plantation. It is a large master planned development and very pet-friendly! You will usually always see someone walking their pet through the neighborhood, so it’s likely that we’ll meet even more friends! I have a large backyard for running around and playing with my dogs. I just love my neighborhood because it is so family- and pet-friendly.
Reviews
Got a flat tire on my way home from work on an unscheduled day (ON HALLOWEEN TOO) and without hesitation she helped set up an emergency walk while I got it taken care of across town. Would highly recommend.
My dog was staying with Raquel for a month. While there she sent me a photo/video every 2-3 days or so, which was nice. We arrived to pick him up at night and everything was ok, there were no issues the whole stay. The morning after we picked up our boy, i noticed he was struggling to poop (he was going into the position but nothing came out) and when he finally did, i found what looks like wipes in his stool. i was very concerned and reached out to Raquel, and she said she didn't see him eat anything he shouldn't have, but obviously he did.. fortunately, the vet said to keep an eye on him and as long as he keeps eating and pooping as usual it's a good sign. the wipes stopped coming out in his stool 3-4 days after we picked him up, so everything was alright in the end, but as a dog sitter it's your job to take care of the dogs and things like that shouldn't be happening. I am lucky my boy was able to clear all the wipes out and nothing serious resulted from this.
Zeus is a very timid puppy and Raquel was very kind and patient with him from the start! She was responsive and put my mind at ease with updates on how he was doing. I will definitely be bringing him back!
Ms Raquel was amazing at the last minute to watch Kobe for us. She kept us updated with pictures. Really appreciated her!

Information Raquel S. would like to know about your pet
Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
Your pup will never be at a loss for things to do around my house. Between myself, my sons, and my four pups, love and playtime will never be in short supply. We love bringing new pups into the house and playing with them until we’re all too tired to continue.
