DOG RESORT, I AM HOME FULLTIME!
Pet care experience
I am centrally located in the heart of Palm Beach Gardens, right across from Ballen Isles. I am also very close to and between, Northlake Blvd and PGA with entrances and exits right off i-95 making my home convenient for trips to the PBI Airport, The port of Palm Beach, or Brightline. We have a beautiful, remodeled, single family home. We are close to shopping, hundreds of restaurants, world class golf courses, pickle ball, and tennis. We are near gorgeous Beaches, boating and fishing, are near state parks with trails, kayaking, paddleboarding. My property sits on a ¼ acre of land with a large inground pool. We have a large tiki installed for shade, outdoor fans, and TVs. I recently installed artificial turf to keep dogs happy, your fur baby will be welcomed to swim if they like. I am a married, Mother of two girls ages 14 and 12. I watch 3/4 dogs, as a maximum at a time. I home majority of the day, taking care of my home and watching my clients dogs while my children are in school. This way I can provide love and attention every dog needs and wants. Your dog will be in my full time care. I am experienced in dog ownership and care my entire life. Fully fenced yard with a 7 foot privacy fence. My home is one story 3 bedroom 2 bath, so no crazy steps which is ideal with dogs with mobility issues. I am home full time, so your fur baby will get tons of LOVE. Like any daycare, sometimes you pup might get a little dirty, or wet having fun. I can provide a bath at an additional charge if you would like. Why are my rates so low you ask? Because I do this because I LOVE DOGS! I know how hard it is to leave town! You don't want to leave them with just anyone. That's why I paid for the additional background check. Once you board a dog in my home you will never go back to a facility. I have over 35 years of experience with dogs, of all shapes and sizes. Well over 100 reviews all by verified Rover Clients. I am committed to give your fur-family member all the love and compassion you would in your own home. I can provide long walks around the neighborhood. I WILL REQUIRE a shot record. I also require current flea medication. My yard are home are professionally exterminated as well as the pool is chemically balanced, to ensure it is safe to swim 365 days a year. My home is also secure with a 24/7 monitored security system. Your dog(s) must not be aggressive in anyway toward children or other dogs. Safety is my number #1 priority! I can offer a twice a day walks mile or more, depending on your dogs capabilities. Our neighborhood, is very dog friendly we have large sidewalks throughout for a safe environment. We are dog lovers we adore pets a have the utmost respect for all animals and your pet will receive lots of love, exercise, and companionship. I do require a meet and greet. I have experience with highly active dogs, diabetic dogs, handicapped dogs, puppies, dogs with separation anxiety, senior dogs and special and or Restricted diets. I am also able to administer medications orally or by shot (like insulin) if needed. Although I am not a certified trainer, I have assisted with behavioral issues, and Potty training, at the puppy rate, if not house trained... regardless of age. I respect any in all home structure you have for your dog, so please let me know what rules you have instilled in your fur baby. Please see the Rover Guarantee, and the terms and conditions back by Rover. By booking with me you're agreeing to their terms and conditions.
Reviews
Larisa was a wonderful sitter for Monty. She sent pictures and told us how he was doing. She followed instructions, and we could see how happy Monty was to be with her family. Thank you!
Larisa was great with communication from the booking request throughout my pets week long stay. She sent pictures each day and let me know how my pet was doing ❤️ This was SO appreciated since my dog is on the shyer side. I love that her kiddos are involved as well, just more love for my pup!
My experience with Larisa was excellent. She made the process worry free and was extremely flexible for drop off and pickup. I’m pretty sure my dog enjoyed my trip more than I did! Will definitely be using her again for all future boardings.
Larisa is the best dog sitter! My dog gets the wiggles every time he sees her. He loves playing with the kids and the dogs and he runs to her house when we get out of the car. Larisa sends photos and she’s really communicative. I drive 30min to bring Rowdy to her because of how well she cares for him. Thank you Larisa!

Safety, trust & environment
I am home all day except for errands humans run, like groceries ect... if you dog has stitches, or is wearing Donut we will have to reschedule until he/she has completely healed. Any surgeries must be cleared by a veterinarian for open play, and possibly getting wet, as we have a pool that isn't protected with a baby gate.
