Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong Dog Lover
I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and spent years campaigning for one of my own before finally convincing my family to get a dog when I was a teenager. Since then, dogs have been a huge part of my life. As a dog owner myself, I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, enrichment, and, of course, handing out plenty of affection (and telling every dog they’re the best girl/boy). I know every pup has their own personality—from energetic adventure buddies to professional cuddle experts—and I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’m patient, dependable, and detail-oriented, so I’ll carefully follow your dog’s routine, medication schedule if needed, and any special instructions. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and excited to see me while giving you peace of mind that they’re in caring, capable hands.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in a calm, attentive, and structured way that prioritizes their comfort and routine. In a client’s home, I aim to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible by following their usual schedule for feeding, walks, play, litter care, and any medications or special instructions. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so I can adjust my approach—whether that means giving space to shy or anxious animals, or engaging more actively with high-energy pets. I focus on creating a consistent, reassuring presence so pets feel safe while their owners are away. I’m detail-oriented and reliable, and I make sure to follow instructions carefully while also keeping you updated so you have peace of mind. My goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and secure in their own environment.
Ratings and reviews
I've known Larissa as a neighbor for several years, and she's an exceptional pet owner. Her dog Doug is incredibly well trained, and it's clear she prioritizes her pet's health, happiness, and overall well-being. She lives in a multi pet home with a dog and cats and has experience with mixed pet homes. Larissa is caring, responsible, and attentive, and I would trust her to care for my dog Chilko any time! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter or dog walker.
Look no further for a detail oriented, caring and reliable pet sitter. I have peace of mind knowing my dog, cats and pet mice are in good hands when I’m away from home. I know they will receive attention and everyone will receive their medications as needed. I always appreciate when Larissa is able to care for my animals.

Schedule
I work Monday to Friday, but I have a lot of flexibility in my afternoons, which allows me to provide consistent and reliable care for your pet after the typical workday. I’m also fully available on weekends, making it easy to accommodate longer stays, walks, or drop-ins when you need extra support. During the summer months, I have even greater availability, which means I can offer more open scheduling for daytime care, extended visits, or more frequent check-ins. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after whenever you need.
