Information Raquel Z. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to be informed about any dogs with a history of anxiety, biting, or aggression to ensure a safe and positive environment for all pets.

A typical day

I engage pets in a variety of fun activities tailored to their interests and energy levels. We enjoy long walks in the park, interactive play sessions with toys, and even training exercises to learn new tricks. For social pets, I arrange playdates with other friendly animals, fostering socialization and fun. For those who love mental challenges, I incorporate puzzle toys and games that stimulate their minds. Whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or simply snuggling on the couch, I ensure each pet has a delightful experience filled with joy and companionship.

Pet care experience

I understand the importance of socialization and basic obedience, and I incorporate positive reinforcement techniques to help your pets grow into well-behaved companions. Additionally, I am a trained certified caregiver and have specialized experience in caring for humans and can ensure that your pets receive the gentle attention and tailored care they need. I’m patient, attentive to their unique requirements, whether it's administering medication, adjusting their activity levels, or simply providing extra comfort and companionship. My passion for animals drives me to create a safe and loving environment for every pet, and I pride myself on building trust with both pets and their owners.

Raquel was responsive and very affectionate and responsible with the pets! Maggie got lots of walks and the house was extra clean. We were glad we chose her to house sit for us.
