Highlights
Pet care experience
Wet nose kisses are the best!
I have 23 years of experience caring for dogs, 9 years as a Rover walker. I will give your doggo the attention they deserve for being so darn cute! I'm very reliable and flexible, and would love to hear about you and your dog's routines, personalities, or anything else you'd like to share to make the experience as fun and comfortable as possible for your furry friend. I’m very attentive and empathetic to my clients and their pets’ needs. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I travel throughout Suffolk County. I can't wait to meet a new furry pal!! 🐶 I try to keep my Rover calendar as updated as possible. If you have any questions, please reach out for further details. Thank you! ☺️ I always monitor for safety whether indoors or outdoors. I seek to create a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for your pets. I prefer to do meet and greets before booking to ensure compatibility and to review house safety.

I always monitor for safety whether indoors or outdoors. If you have any specific concerns, this can be addressed during the meet and greet….I am not accepting boarding clients at this time.
Ratings and reviews
Risa did a great job taking care of our 3 year old beagle Penny! We know she was well taken care of and loved while we were away!
Risa takes great care of our pets whenever we need care taking and recommend her to folks on the NoFo!
Risa is always a very reliable and trusted pet care taker for us when we’re in The NoFo
Risa was so easy to coordinate with. She watched my 2 frenchies - one of them just 2 months old! I was so nervous about leaving them for a wedding but Risa was a pro. Would absolutely work with her again.
Risa did a wonderful job. We have 2 rambunctious pups and she kept them occupied for the entire drop in. She showed up at the designated time, submitted pics, and let me know how they were doing. I'd recommend her to anyone who is concerned or hesitant about hiring a dog sitter!
Smart, loving, playful and trustworthy. Risa is easy to like. Betty was very happy. We will have her come and stay in our home again.

Schedule
I am a full-time social worker, working in the community and with children. I have always enjoyed caring for animals and am good at reading their body language. I started working through Rover to help pay for school, and have stayed with it because I really love dogs so much! My husband Joe will occasionally assist depending on scheduling needs. Joe is a Rover-verified walker and will assist only with your prior approval/meet and greet.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsRisa can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- I'd like to know the age, breed, and temperament of the doggo, likes and dislikes (does he like tummy rubs or chin scratches, etc). Knowledge of eating, exercise, and bathroom routines will help me provide the best care! For overnight dogsitting visits, we can discuss how often your dog needs to be walked or let out during the day in addition to the overnight stay. *Full "24/7" care will be charged at a premium rate.* Large dogs may be charged at a higher rate. I have had a range from akitas to chihuahuas to pitties, so I'm very comfortable with all sizes and energy levels!
