Safety, trust & environment

I am able to do overnights if needed while my husband stays home with our animals. We can always play with my puppy or I can just hang out with your fur babes.

Information Larissa A. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences! I’d like to know if your dog is skittish ahead of time so I can prepare. I also like to have your vet info in case of an emergency situation, as well as any medical problems your pet might have.

A typical day

I am trying to get more fit! So we might go for hikes or go to the beach if you are okay with it. I try to individualize everything per pet, so we will talk about what is best. I’m great with going out for walks, but also hanging out inside is great too.

Pet care experience

I am a nurse and have the ability to change my schedule around. I can work as little or as much as I wish. I am also a wedding photographer, and have previously worked with animals at a shelter and vet clinic. My availability depends on the day so let me know what you’re thinking! You might even get some free photos of your pup. I have worked at an animal shelter as an adoption counselor and intake representative. I have also worked at a vet clinic, so I know the basics of animal care and boarding. I have my own dog at home, and he usually just sleeps and cuddles most of the day. I understand how stressful leaving your puppy can be, so I’ll make sure to send updates, and won’t be mad if you message me for them! I try to keep my calendar up to date as much as possible. Shoot me a message to confirm availability. I’d love to hang out with your pup in my free time Safety is my #1 priority. I have my own dog so I know how scary it can be leaving them with someone else. I will send plenty of updates if you’d like them. Just let me know! Please note: I do not accept house sitting requests for people that smoke in the home

Larissa has been dropping by and letting my pups get outside and she has been so great to work with! One of my dogs is leery of most people but has seemed to warm up to her in a short time. She’s great at communicating and being flexible when I needed to change our schedule. I’m so glad I found her!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
