Highlights
Pet care experience
Feel at ease while your away
Hello, my name is Larisa, ever since I can remember, I have always been around and loved animals. I'm an enthusiastic dog lover with 6+ years of experience caring for all breeds and ages of dogs. From rambunctious puppies to senior dogs, I've always found joy in providing a safe and happy environment for furry friends. Since some of my family members are allergic to animals we couldn't have any dogs or cats. As a result, I made an effort to get to know my neighbors with pets. I started with dog walking and later I started pet sitting for a number of the neighbors. Once I was living on my own I was able to get my own dogs, which has really enhanced my life! I have experience in caring for dogs with various behavioral challenges, as well as administering medication, and can provide a safe and supportive environment for anxious or shy dogs. I'm a firm believer that every dog deserves a walk, a belly rub, and a whole lot of love. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and dedicated to making your dog's day as enjoyable as possible.

Safety, trust & environment
Since I have fur balls of my own, I only provide care in my clients' homes. I follow their regular routine, provide daily walks, and maintain a stress-free atmosphere in your house. I always pay close attention to their particular requirements, making sure they are content, protected, and at ease while you are away.
Ratings and reviews
Larisa A. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Our five-year-old Springer Spaniel enjoyed spending eight days in our home with Larisa. She took her for long walks, played with her and worked with her "four-on-the-floor" training we've been working on. There was no transition when we arrived home, everything was back to normal, which was very nice. For us it was nice not to have to leave her at a kennel. We will call Larisa again.
Larisa did a great job in walking our dog Luca, a 65-pound English Shepherd. I felt confident going out of town for a week and leaving him in her hands. I knew her experience in dog training would keep him safe. Besides that, he loved her and could wait to take his walks!
Larisa is a responsible and hard-working person who LOVES animals and has always cared very well for her own dogs. I would absolutely trust her with my pets. I have known her since she was a toddler and have always been impressed by her positive attitude, her friendliness, her compassion, and her loving kindness. Larisa is also amazingly strong for her small size and she has had BIG dogs of her own, so I wouldn't let her stature affect your decision in choosing her to care for your pets. Anyone who places their animals in her care can rest assured that she will do everything to care for them to the best of her ability, and she also has the assistance of her family and her boyfriend, Gavin, to back her up.
Larisa is amazing with pets, she has walked my two dogs for me in the morning when I couldn’t. Larisa kept them busy through out the day by playing fetch as well making sure they are feed. She is such a loving person to that my dogs caught on to her very fast. She even watched them over night for me a few times. I would highly recommend her
Larisa started out just walking our four-year-old Golden Retriever around the neighborhood. She made an instant connection with our dog and family, so much so that we started using Larisa to watch our dog at home while traveling. It made for a more enjoyable trip knowing Larisa was at our house, taking great care of our dog. She is an incredibly compassionate individual and has a genuine love for all animals. That love translates into attentiveness and care. I would have no problems recommending Larisa to others looking for someone to care for their pets.
