I want to hang out with your pets!

Pet care experience

I grew up with four corgis, a unique and challenging breed. Having dogs gave me an adoration for pets and animals in general. Although I do not have any formal training, I have been told by many people that I have an affinity for dogs. I often find that dogs and cats who are not typically friendly develop a liking for me. Over the years, I have returned more dogs who wandered away from their owners than I can count. I am mildly allergic to cats, so if you have cats in your household, please vacuum thoroughly before I come by.

My dogs still love Larissa and it's great to be able to rely on someone that they will get out when I can't be home.

Larissa was absolutely amazing! Our dog Ruby had a great time and was well taken care of. This was our first time leaving her with someone new. We received a lot of pictures and she was very obviously happy. 100/10 recommend, and will definitely use her services again if needed!

Information Larissa B. would like to know about your pet

I need to know whether the dog is friendly with other dogs and people, whether it has any special needs, and perhaps any behavioral quirks. I am highly selective with pit bulls, but I do consider all dogs on a case-by-case basis.

A typical day

I'll be more than happy to take the dog on a walk in a special fun location if the owner requests it. I'll also play with whatever toys the dog likes. If your dog sheds, I will help with brushing.
