Confident and Dedicated Caretaker
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
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!
Risa took good care of Anny. Anny got along with her dog and was very tired when we got home. She does live in Durango West… not where shown on the map.

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.
Information Risa H. would like to know about your pet
Let me know ahead of time if your dog has special needs or specific, important routines, dietary restrictions/allergies, any behaviors I should watch out for, how they get along with other dogs, and what kind of activities they like best!
A typical day
I like to give dogs things to do that stimulate them both mentally and physically. We’ll play lots of games together, especially those that particularly excite your pet. If your dog likes water, I have a few spots on the river and on hikes that are great for playing and splashing. There are many trails near my house which are ideal for going on long walks away from busy roads. Walks around my neighborhood also provide plenty of interesting smells for your dog to enjoy.
