Pet care experience
Been dog and cat sitting for various friend and family as well as friends of friends the last 18 years. Currently I have a cat of my own that I've trained to go hiking and kayaking with me. I'm upbeat and energetic and love getting to know the unique personality of each individual pet. I'm here to provide loving care while also enforcing discipline as guidelined. I believe every pet is capable of as much as one is willing to teach them and will bring that to each encounter. I am flexible with my time schedule as I work from home and am able to adjust as you may need. I also have handled more than one pet at a time if you are a multiple pet household. Thank you!

I wish I could keep Larisa a secret and have her availability all to ourselves! She went above and beyond, taking the best care of our dog and cat AND house - we joked that they wouldn't want us to come home because they were having so much fun! We will absolutely use her again in the future and would recommend her without hesitation. Thank you, Larisa!
Larisa did an amazing job watching our two boys and was very quick to respond. She also sent lots of pictures checking in here and there :)
Larisa was on time and responsible!
I booked Larisa for drop-in visits over Memorial Day weekend because my husband I were going to Wilmington for a little vacation. At about 11:30 pm on our first night in Wilmington, I realized I had never received a Rover card for the scheduled 9:00 pm visit. I tried messaging and calling Larisa, but got no response. She didn't get in touch until 1:30 am, at which point she said our cats were "all good" but that she had experienced problems with her phone and couldn't access the Rover app. My husband and I immediately knew she was lying because our garage door app showed that it hadn't been opened since we left home, and the plan was for Larisa to open the garage using a code and access keys to our home. Long story short, my husband and I drove all the way back home to Charlotte in the middle of the night because we were so concerned. When we got home, we found more proof that Larisa had lied. The cans of cat food were still sitting unopened on the kitchen counter and the water bowl had not been refilled. I told Larisa to cancel the additional visits we had booked, which she did, but she did not offer to refund the first visit. In other words, she was taking my money for services that she never provided. I went through a long process to report all of this to Rover, and they refunded the money for that first visit based on the evidence I provided that Larisa had never actually entered my home. This entire experience was extremely disturbing. Larisa created a safety concern for my pets by neglecting them, she lied to me repeatedly, and she basically tried to steal from me by accepting payment for services she never provided. All of this is even more shocking because I had booked Larisa in the past and never had any concerns about the services she provided. I'm now left wondering if she lied to me previously and failed to provide adequate care for my pets without me knowing it.

Availability
I work from home so I'm able to the majority of the day when house-sitting with your pet(s). I do need to check on my cats once a day, they have automatic feeders, but other than that there are no consistent plans in my day that require me to leave the house, however it is flexible enough for drop ins and am able to pop out to do those whenever needed
