I'm a stay-at-home mom with plenty of time for walks, playtime, and cuddles. I do ask that pets are comfortable around children, as I have a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old at home.

Information Larissa A. would like to know about your pet

To help me provide the best care for your pet, please share the following information: Is your pet comfortable around children or other animals? Do they enjoy interacting with other pets, or prefer to be alone? Are there any pets in the neighborhood they should avoid? Does your pet take any medications or require special care? Are they allowed to have treats? Are they house-trained, or do they sometimes go indoors? Do they have any allergies, mobility issues, or a history of aggression?

A typical day

Going on walks, playing games (fetch is the majority favorite), resting, making sure they’re fed and medicated (if necessary). Anything to make sure that they are enjoying their time.

Caring and responsible Pet-sitter

Pet care experience

Welcome to my pet sitting service! As a sitter I have over 9 years of experience caring for a variety of pets. I am dedicated to providing a safe, loving, and engaging environment for your family members. As a former dog mom I have over 20 years of experience, and years of experience fostering stray cats in Brazil. I offer daily walks, playtime, feeding and plenty of affection. My home is pet friendly, with a secure outdoor space where dogs can run and play. I also provide cozy areas for cats to lounge and explore. As a former pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy. That’s why I prioritize open communication, sending regular updates and photos so you can relax, knowing your pet is in good hands. Please note: I have children who are kind, respectful, and experienced around animals. They enjoy interacting with pets - playing fetch or engaging with playful cats using toys. Also, they are happy to give space to pets who prefer a calm and quiet environment. Whether you need a weekend getaway or an extended vacation, I’m here to provide the care and attention your pet deserves. I look forward to becoming your trusted pet sitter :)

Missy had an amazing time with Larrisa! She wasn’t feeling too well when we dropped her off but Larissa was able to take care of her and she was feeling better in no time! Larissa took special care to ensure Missy was eating and drinking well

Missy had an over two week long stay with Larissa and had a great time! Larissa consistently sent updates and photos every day and ensured Missy was always taken care of. She even gave her a bath! I’m looking forward to having Missy stay with Larissa and her family again!

Larissa has been amazing. It was a last minute call as my bernedoodle got conjunctivitis the day before a 1 week trip. I met her and she was so sweet, she made sure to send pictures everyday and manage my dog medication. Such a relief for our family to know Nala was in great hands. I highly recommend Larissa and will definitely reach out to her to take care of Nala again.
