Highlights
Pet care experience
Confident and Dedicated Caretaker
I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs, cats, and horses since I was a child, and began pet-sitting when I was 14. Neighbors, family, friends, and friends of friends have all found me to be a trustworthy caretaker of their furry friends. I have lots of experience taking care of pets in their home environment and following the particular regimens that each pet needs. I have experience training animals, specifically puppies and untrained older dogs. I am confident dealing with large and energetic dogs, and from experience know how to help animals warm up to me.
Cat care experience
Risa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
Note: My house is located 15 minutes from downtown Durango in Durango West 2. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog named Kuma who can keep your pet company! I have my own crate to use if needed. I live near many great trails, ideal for long walks in the sunshine.
Ratings and reviews
Risa was wonderful taking care of our two Great Pyrenees and tabby cat (and our two horses as well!) Very prompt communications, very pleasant to deal with in every way. We will certainly have her back.
Risa was great with our animals! Would happily have her watch them again.
Risa was amazing! She took excellent care of my fur babies, above and beyond! Will definitely use her again in the future and would highly recommend.
Risa is a natural with dogs and she also spends time training my dog to not pull while on leash. Something we have been working on. She’s reliable and clearly loves our “Pippa.”
Risa is fantastic and we could not have had a better experience. Friendly and very responsive. Highly recommended. Thank you Risa!
Sadly we booked with Risa and due to scheduling didn’t get to use her due to scheduling issues on my part but she was super accommodating and if we are in Durango again I would book with her again!

I am currently working part-time and have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for pet care many weekends and most days of the week! I can often move my schedule around to fit you and your pet’s needs.
