Pet care experience

Reliable & Experinced pet sitter!

For as long as I can remember, I have always had a pet. Animals have been a constant part of my life, and I have committed myself to taking care of them and I truly enjoy it . Growing up surrounded by pets has given me a deep appreciation for animals and inspired me to gain as much hands-on experience as possible in animal care. I have volunteered with several animal organizations, including APA (Action Program for Animals), where I primarily provided dog socialization and took dogs on walks. Through this experience, I became comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and gained valuable experience working with larger breeds as well as reactive dogs, allowing me to provide patient, safe, and compassionate care tailored to each pet's individual needs. I have also volunteered with CCCS (Cruces Cool Cats), where I assisted with basic sanctuary sanitation by cleaning and maintaining the facility to ensure a healthy and comfortable environment for the cats. In addition, I helped with TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) transportation and cat socialization, giving me experience working with cats of many different personalities. I also volunteer with ASCMV, where I completed a required dog handling mini course that taught proper handling techniques, canine body language, and safe interactions with dogs of different temperaments. This training has given me the confidence and knowledge to work with pets that are shy, nervous, reactive, or high-energy while always prioritizing their safety and comfort. Outside of volunteering, I own an Australian Cattle Dog mix, so I understand firsthand the dedication, patience, and exercise that high-energy breeds require. I am also an avid runner, which makes me well-prepared to provide energetic dogs with the physical activity and enrichment they need through long walks, runs, or active play sessions. Whether your pet enjoys an adventurous outing or prefers a calm, leisurely walk, I am happy to adapt to their individual needs and routine. I understand that pets are more than just animals—they are cherished members of the family. When you trust me with your pet, I will care for them with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own. Their safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I am currently enrolled at DACC as a freshman, majoring in Associate of Science with plans to transfer to New Mexico State University's Animal Science program. My long-term goal is to attend veterinary school and become a veterinarian. Every opportunity to care for pets allows me to continue learning, growing, and gaining valuable hands-on experience, and I look forward to providing the highest quality care for your furry family members

Raquel did a week long overnight with my pooch Tuukka. I've never been more comfortable with anybody else and I know Tuukka was give an exceptional care. I think he bonded with her... Her care for Tuukka, her thoughtfulness, her clear and prompt communication and the condition she kept the house were all exceptional. Thank you!
