Hi! I’m Raquel, a caring and reliable pet lover based in Staines. My motivation to become a pet sitter comes from my lifelong love for animals and the joy they bring. Back home in Portugal, I have three dogs — Noah, Nina, and Nala — and a cat named Mimi, and I miss them every day. Being away from them has made me understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, and that’s exactly what I offer. I have several years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m confident handling both energetic dogs who need long, active walks (typically 30–60 minutes) as well as calmer or older pets who prefer shorter, relaxed outings and gentle companionship. I always adapt to each pet’s personality and routine.When pet sitting in your home, I make sure your pet feels comfortable and stress-free by sticking closely to their usual routine. This includes feeding at the right times, regular walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I also keep your home tidy and respect your space. I am trained to stay calm and handle unexpected situations. For example, if a pet becomes nervous, anxious, or encounters a minor injury, I know how to provide reassurance, comfort, and first aid when needed, and I will contact you immediately to keep you informed. I also know how to respond safely in case of emergencies, such as sudden illness or accidents, by following veterinary advice and acting quickly to protect your pet’s wellbeing.I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, always focusing on safety, comfort, and fun. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. I only accept vaccinated pets and carefully follow all instructions you provide. I treat every pet as if they were my own — with love, patience, and care.
