Pet care experience

Experienced Sitter-Works from Home!

Hi! I'd love to care for your dog, cat, or other pet on weekends (visits, sitting, walks, or boarding in my own home). Sitting or boarding on weekdays would work for me as well. (I can take your dog on my runs with me if you would like!) I have had pets stay at my home overnight, and also have stayed overnight at their home, whichever you prefer is fine by me! I have been caring for other families' dogs for about 15 years now, and if you would like, I can provide you with some references. I also grew up with cats and dogs in our home.

My blind cat stayed with Larisa and was very comfortable at her house the moment he arrived! Happy to know Zeus has a safe place where he’s happy when I’m out of town

As always Larisa does such a great job with Taco. She sends multiple pictures each day and ensure that he has plenty of play time and naps. Taco loves staying with Larisa and Bella!

10/10 Larisa was so easy to communicate with and sent lots of great pictures throughout the stay.

Larisa and her husband did a great job taking care of my pup! Kept me updated the whole time so I wasn’t worried about my princess. Would use again and highly recommend!

Larisa was so amazing to our little Auggie! We received updates with pictures throughout Auggie’s stay with her, we’re so appreciative for all the help especially since it was so last minute. Highly recommend!!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have one medium sized dog crate I can provide if you would prefer to leave yours at home! I also have food and water bowls. We do have our own dog (the dog in my profile photo), who is very friendly and gets along with other dogs, cats, and people. She is extremely sweet and spends most of the day napping. We have the means and space to keep your pet separated from our dog if that is needed or desired.

Pets

A typical day

I would love to take your dog for a run or walk with me if they are able to do so. There are plenty of sidewalks in the area for going on walks or runs where I live. We also have a fenced in backyard for hanging out, playing fetch, or getting some sun.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Larisa can host up to 2 pets per night
Please let me know if your dog needs to be crated while I am out or at night. If they have any specific times they are fed that is helpful to know as well. I always like to know who their vet is too, just in case. Knowing whether your dog has anxiety when left alone would also be good to know.
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.
