Pet care experience

I am a natural pet-magnet!

Dog breeding was one of the most memorable and valuable experiences of my teenage years! My family has always owned dogs and cats, as well as smaller critters. For many years I have provided pet and house sitting services to relatives, neighbors and friends. My strongest assets are friendliness, attention to detail, and adaptability to a pet’s individual needs. I have the ability to gain an animal’s trust even if it is unfriendly, skittish, or difficult to handle. I treat other people’s pets as I would my own, within the boundaries that the owners have established for their homes. I am characterized by being affectionate, dependable and trustworthy. My goal is to provide such an excellent level of care that the owners are never concerned about the safety and well-being of their pets or homes. Please note: I am sensitive to odors, so house sitting is not an option if you smoke inside your home or have mold issues.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 03, 2024

Larissa is absolutely wonderful. The whole family is so warm and welcoming. I am always so worried leaving our fur baby and I can honestly say that Larisa cared for Kailuna like her own. Their dog Clark is the perfect companion for kailuna and the two of them ran about the yard for hours. Larisa sent so many photos and videos. It made us feel so good to see how happy he was throughout the day. We can’t say enough about the wonderful care that kailuna received. Larisa and family are warm, friendly and communicative. We are so grateful to have found them.

As always, Larisa was amazing and accommodating while watching our pups over the holiday season. We had nonstop travel between Christmas, weddings and vacation, and Larisa was consistently providing us happy pictures and updates of our girls. Then, we arrived home fully expecting some hair tumbleweeds and chewed up toy remains from the girls, but she has tidied up everything before leaving. Absolutely above and beyond necessary, but so well appreciated. Thank you, Larisa! Happy Holidays, and we have some Caribbean gifts for you!

Larisa is our number one petsitter! She has petsit for us twice now over the holidays, and when she arrived for her second visit, the dogs went wild with excitement. I can see from the photos she shares that they are truly comfortable with her, and it makes us happy to know the dogs routine doesn't change too much with Larisa's flexible schedule. Thank you so much, Larisa!

Larisa was excellent and awesome -- highly recommend her! She was incredibly loving toward our 2 dogs and took great care of them. It was so nice to be able to go out of town and not have a worry in the world about leaving our dogs behind. Thank you, Larisa!

Larisa has been a trusted caregiver for furry and non-furry people in our family for well over a decade. I can vouch for her integrity of character and her love and care for her pets and the fur-babies of others as well, including giving housing and help to lost pets. She is a compassionate, kind, and responsible care-giver.
