Highlights
Pet care experience
An experienced pet sitter
Hello! Unlike some other sitters on Rover, i have a year of dog sitting experience and work experience in a kennels, cattery, riding school and small animal vet clinic. I have been caring for dogs ever since 2012 when i was around seven years old and have also had some experience with rabbits and birds around the age of 4 years old. During my work experience, i have learnt how to analyse basic animal behaviour well and have learnt how to follow a schedule of feeding times, medicine that need to be administered and how to meet the needs of both dogs and cats. I’ve helped with grooming and bathing at the kennels and i am patient at all times, giving space to animals when they need it. I am the type of pet sitter to give some advice to owners if i feel it may benefit the owners and the pet. For example, if i see your dog eats too quickly, i might recommend a slow feeding bowl to reduce chances of things such as GDV happening to your dog. I have helped two owners during my time as a pet sitter as i have noticed medical issues in their dogs such as signs of a urinary infection or epulis. If you do not want advice, please let me know beforehand as i do not tolerate rude behaviour.

Ratings and reviews
Larissa took great care of my old dog Riley, he had a wonderful time staying with her and I really appreciated all the photos and updates Larissa sent. I would highly recommend!
Larissa was so lovely with Alfie. He’s a nervous dog but he was well looked after. I’ll will be reusing her in the future.
Lucy was well cared for and happy on the stay over We were regularly updated on how she was doing by text and regular feedback that help ease our worries as we have never left her alone with anyone who was not family Would highly recommend and definitely use again
Larissa looked after my boy today and I couldn’t recommend anyone better. She is welcoming and friendly and did an amazing job with Marley. She took him for walks fed him as required and he was really content whilst he stayed. Will definitely be using her service again, thank you🙏🏼
Larrissa looked after our dog and we were absolutely delighted with how it went. Without hesitation, I would recommended her services. Will use again.
We're very happy with the care our dog received staying with Larissa and will definitely be booking with her again. As this was the first time we have used an online boarding service and the first time leaving our dog we were a bit unsure how she would react to boarding. We needn't have worried, she didn't seem stressed in any way when we picked her up which says to me she was well cared for. Very happy with Rover and happy to recommend Larissa.

Schedule
Im currently available at all times so whatever type of schedule you would like for your pet, i can work around. When a dog is in my own home and is sleeping over, i sleep nearby to make sure that they are comfortable and safe as that is my first priority. I give every dog at least one walk a day (or more if you would like)
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my own home, i have an attached house which is kept clean at all times and it has a back garden with tall fences and no grass. Its a relatively big garden with lots of plants and vegetables around. I do have a dog of my own in the house who’s an eight year old Sproodle who is playful but is no threat to other dogs as she loves to greet them no matter the age. She is gentle with puppies and sleeps in her own bed in the kitchen. In my house, i live with two sisters and my mother. No matter the house im caring for your pet in, i will stick to a schedule and your rules however you prefer. I will make sure your pet is entertained and cared for well and will return home happy!

A typical day
Most days with dogs are chill as they have access to the whole house and the sofas are comfortable for them to sleep on. I can play with some dogs if they like toys and there is a nice nature path nearby where i can walk the dogs. I do not walk dogs off the leash for safety reasons. Dogs in my house always get love and attention all day every day to keep them comfortable and happy.
