Pet care experience

Your dog's lawyer

I am my mother's fourth child (I grew up with three golden retrievers). Two of the goldens still go to the beach everyday at ages 15 and 16 (they still live with my mother). I've been swimming, walking, playing, washing, cooking for, feeding, cleaning up after, chauffeuring and generally chilling with dogs almost everyday for 15 years. I'm accustomed to medication regimens and mindful of safe play, especially for elderly and disabled dogs. I'm also very comfortable with large and extra-large dogs. My childhood friends include a Newfoundland and St. Bernard. I have experience pet sitting in clients homes in the Bay but am new to Rover. I just started a sabattical from lawyering. Happy to be your dog's lawyer though (this is not legal advertising).

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to care for your dog in their home so that they are the most comfortable. Otherwise I would prefer that your dog and I establish a few walks or activities before boarding at my place, so that they feel safe and comfortable with me.

Risa has done a wonderful job raising 3 golden retrievers, 2 of which are older than 14 and living happy, active, lives. Saying she loves dogs is an understatement, she will work to understand what your best friend needs not just from a feeding standpoint, but from an activity standpoint to make sure they are stimulated and enriched. She's been trusted to dog sit for various friends and each time, the dogs can't wait to hang out with her again. Cannot recommend Risa more highly to look after your loved one.

If you are looking for a pet sitter you can truly trust, hire Risa! We are incredibly particular about who watches our two dogs because they have a complex routine—including fresh food prep and strict medication/supplement schedules. Risa handled everything perfectly. She sent us daily photo updates of our dogs looking totally relaxed and cuddled up right next to her. She is incredibly kind, professional, and completely exceeded our expectations. Our dogs loved her!
