Pet care experience

The dog whisperer

I'm a freelance social media manager, and dog/cat mom who would have 100 dogs if I could! For now, I'll just love on yours! I have two cats and two dogs, and recently lost my two senior medical needs dogs. I know how hard it is to find a trusted animal sitter that will love your babies as much as you do, so here I am!

Risa is SO sweet and all my animals love her!! I have such a hard time finding trustworthy pet sitters, and Risa truly exceeded my expectations. She took the time to do a meet & greet beforehand, sends tons of pictures and updates, and makes sure that everyone feels comfortable and cared for. 10/10 would book her again🫶🏼

Doggy Day Care • Dec 12, 2022

Risa was AMAZING with my lil girl! She truly is a dog whisperer. My normal timid dog went right to her at our meet and greet and gave her a smooch. Risa is so caring and truly loves animals. I knew Harper would be in the best hands. She gave me updates and lots of pictures. So glad I found her!!
