Information Risa H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any behavioral issues, special needs, food and/or dietary restrictions, triggers, and territorial tendencies, or anything else that you think is valuable information for me to know to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable.

The dog whisperer

Pet care experience

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🫶🏼

Thank you Rita, I know MAISY isn’t easy to walk, but thank you for being patient and kind to her. I truly appreciate it, and your understanding. You’ve been great.

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!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
