Risa has taken care of our dog Diego and our cats, Carlos and Ceci, multiple times and in some cases over multiple days during the past 2 years. Risa is the perfect dog sitter. She is not only extremely responsible and loving with our pets, she is also super sensible of the needs they have (Diego is a large 12 year old mutt who requires medication, short-mellow but frequent walks, and a lot of patience and love). When we have to leave for more than one day, Risa is also super aware of the needs of the house in relation to the pets, plus she always texts us in case she has any questions. Risa also happens to be a really smart and friendly person to chat with. We´ve been friends with Risa for the past 3 or 4 years and she was my wife´s student last year at UCSC, so we can really speak about her qualities in general and her sense of personal and professional responsibility. Please contact me if I can be of any further help to Risa.
