Reliable dog sitter!

Pet care experience

I have many years of pet sitting experience. I am currently in college working on becoming a vet. I have worked at an animal hospital for a couple of years and volunteered for several others too. I love animal rescue and spend my free time volunteering for shelters and rescues. I don’t have any pets of my own, but I do foster dogs, cats, and other small pets, so I have lots of experience with all sorts of animals. I am not working right now and all my classes are online, so I can usually have a lot of flexibility and am able to come without an advanced notice. If you are interested just send me a message and we can get something set up!

Larisa is professional, dedicated, level-headed, courteous, and knows her onions. She looks young enough that I wondered if I should worry. Our medication schedule gave her less than 12 hours for a Thanksgiving visit several hours away. But she handled everything perfectly, including leaving time to spare, making judgment calls on medication (which she double-checked with us), and identifying the mechanism underlying a behavioral issue (which she found an efficient way to mitigate). Our mistrustful cat bonded with her, and our peevish cat flopped on the carpet for her scritches. We really appreciated her updates, photos, and videos.

Larisa came through for me when I needed a sitter on short notice! She's a great communicator. We came home to a happy cat.
