Dog lover/walker/sitter/trainer
Pet care experience
My first job at age 14 was at a dog kennel where I cared for dozens of pups. After taking professional training courses with my Rottweiler, I moved on to helping others train their pets. I have a passion for rambunctious puppies or larger dogs, but also love the snuggles of a Chiweenie.
Reviews
Larissa was AMAZING with our 2 German Shepherds! We felt so comfortable leaving our babies in her care for the weekend.
Larissa helped out when my usual sitter was busy and she is so great! She was punctual, sent pics and gave my little pup the attention he needed. We can’t wait for us to help us again in the future. ☺️
Larissa was wonderful with our senior pup! She was communicative, thorough, and clearly loves dogs and caring for them. She handled our pups complicated meds routine with ease and we are excited for her next visit!
Larissa was SO awesome with our two dogs who both have their challenges (one nervous with people, one reactive with dogs). She did a meet and greet in our apartment and we knew it would be a great fit. She sent us multiple updates and pictures during her visit too!

I love to get up and move. I can provide your dog with AMPLE exercise (up for the challenge of high energy breeds) and snuggles. When I am caring for a dog, I spend ALL of my free time with that pup. IMPORTANT: I had a personal dog of mine die under someone else’s care because they did not take her choker/prong collar off. The collar got stuck on something and she broke her neck/suffocated trying to get it off. Please note: if your dog has a choker or martingale collar I WILL NOT LEAVE THEM ALONE WITH IT ON. I will take off any collars that are not breakaway when I leave after our time together. Whether you do this on your own is your decision - but if I’m the last point of contact I want to make sure you come back to a happy, alive pup
Information Larissa B. would like to know about your pet
I like to know the energy level of your dog so I know I am not giving them too much or too little exercise. Otherwise - I definitely need to know if they are friendly to other dogs, people (men/women) and kids or if they have any triggers/fears I should know about.
A typical day
I love walking, hiking, or jogging. Depending on the area, I prefer to keep dogs close to home for their comfort. Parks are my favorite especially if you live near one or your dog is okay with car rides to get there. Let me know if your dog is good at the dog park and we can do that too!

Availability
My whole day can be moved around to accommodate your pet! DOG WALKING (plz read): I have a very friendly 40 pound mutt who can come or stay home - depending on if your dog wants a friend! HOUSE SITTING (plz read): I have a very dog friendly 40 pound mutt named Watson who would need to come with me for house sitting! He gets along with ALL dogs (small, large, and puppies) and is very well-behaved indoors. I can only do house sitting requests that would allow me to bring my pup so your pup has a friend! I have references from people who have had myself and Watson dogsit their homes from anywhere from 1 day to 2 weeks.
