Friendly, caring pet lover!

Pet care experience

I adopted my first cat when I was in high school and my rescue dog when I was in college. They're both still with me 13 and 9 years later. It's safe to say I'm obsessed with animals and all pets--I love greeting new pups when I go on walks. I am welcoming and patient with new animal friends so they can approach me on their own terms, too. I have experience taking care of friends' pets when they're away and love my own two pets dearly. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member!

My dog experienced issues with his paw and Raquel was responsive and accommodating to all his needs! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable and caring dog sitter for their pet.

Information Raquel Z. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any special needs when it comes to treats or interactions with other animals. For example, if your dog prefers to stay away from other dogs or people during walks.

A typical day

I love to go on walks with dogs and make sure they get the mental and physical stimulation they need from outside activity. I like to have a healthy mix of following them at their own pace and encouraging more exploration. I know each pup is different--some might want to spend more time sniffing and some need to expend energy on longer walks! I am also happy to play with your pup during drop in visits--if they love fetch or other games I'm happy to initiate some play time and/or any additional treat rewards.
