Pet care experience

New mom looking for a side gig :)

I’ve lived with cats and dogs my whole life, I was always the primary care taker for my golden doodle growing up and I take care of my own kitty now. I was also in charge of house breaking, and skill training for three different dogs we had. I’m excited to meet some new cute kitties and pups!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When I’ve watched pets before I’ll make sure to let them outside to do their business, then make sure I play with them for a while to get their energy out before they have to come back inside :)

Took great care of my pup! She was always quick to respond and let me know if anything was going on.

Larisa absolutely loves dogs and cats. She's very sweet and loving with them. She has owned several breeds of dogs and cats, including a golden doodle, golden retriever, beagle, and both longhaired and shorthaired cats.

Larisa loves animals and her passion for their well-being is evident in the care she provides. Our dog, Indi, gets so excited when Risa stops in to take her on walks, feed and play with her. She is incredibly responsible and follows all feeding and instructions carefully. I highly recommend Risa because she will treat your pet like her own and is responsible and respectful. We trust her with coming to our home to take care of Indi and our cats while we are away, and know our pets are in good hands. We will definitely be using Risa again and again!

Risa Loves animals! She’s taken care of and has rescued multiple animals since I’ve known her and has given each of them tons of care and affection. From cats, dogs and even goats there’s no one I would trust more to care for my pets!

Schedule
