Passionate Animal Lover
Pet care experience
Hey there! My name is Risa! I have grown up with animals all my life. Growing up, I found my passion early on. My passion has driven me to aspire to become a veterinarian. I am passionate about making sure that all pets are cared for and happy! I make sure to cater to your fur babies needs and stick to their schedule so they are most comfortable! I have 6 years experience working and handling dogs, as I have worked and managed at a dog boarding facility. I am now working as a veterinary assistant at a vet hospital! I am very comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dogs. I feel accomplished knowing that a dog is tired out from a good day of play or a long walk. Aside from dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, chickens, and small animals (ferrets, bunnies, etc)! Have a special needs fur baby? I am experienced with administering injectable medicine such as insulin! Since working at my veterinary hospital, I have also learned how to express a bladder for fur babies who are paralyzed! Seizure baby? No problem! I have a set protocol for seizures (if they do happen) to keep them as safe as possible! I have been CPR and first aid certified for canines and feline for 3 consecutive years as well!
Reviews
Risa is the best my doggies love her
As usual Risa took loving care of my two babies. She sent me daily updates via text and photos. My dogs love her, and I feel very comfortable leaving them in her care when I travel. She is wonderful!
Risa did an amazing job watching the pups! I will definitely be rebooking!
Risa was wonderful with our pets! She took Abby for lots of walks and she tried to find out reclusive black house cat...George. She sent lots of pictures and sent us a lot of sweet notes. She's the best!
About Risa S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I keep an eye on how long I’m out for and tend not to be gone for more than 5 hours without a potty break. I love to keep open communication with parents and send daily pictures with updates!
Information Risa S. would like to know about your pet
I am experienced in administering all medications, whether it be oral, topical, or injections! Please let me know about any habits such as being destructive (mostly when they are bored) so I can play with them! If being walked, please let me know if they are friendly with other pups (so I can keep a watchful eye for others whom may be walking their pups). Please advise of any food aggression whether it be towards other animals or humans!
A typical day
I always enjoy walking pups or playing fetch in the yard to get some energy out! If a walk is part of their daily routine, make sure to let me know so I can stick to it while you're away!

Availability
I do go to school Monday through Friday but I do have serval breaks throughout my day to let pups out for a potty break! On weekends, I work at a veterinary hospital but have a large gap for my lunch break! This allows me to hang out with the pup(s), give potty breaks and play!
