Pet care experience
I've been caring for dogs since I was 8 or maybe younger! As a child we always had two wonderful family dogs (lab & shih tzu; Scappy & Missy). I am efficient at walking, washing, loving, and feeding dogs. As an adult I've homed a few dogs including a blue noes pitbull named Bleu. I got Bleu when he was a puppy and when he was adopted at 2 years old he knew how to do basic tricks ( sit, shake, lie down), and was also well potty trained. I'm also a professional sitter on TrustedHousesitters so on my free time I have the luxury of watching and loving on pups around the world. My most recent sit was in Orlando, FL. I had the pleasure of caring for an adorable poodle as the family traveled for the holidays. I stayed in the home and maintained basic responsibilities as well. I work remote therefore I am flexible to house sit & pet sit however much my heart desires. On my free time I travel, read, listen to podcast, and spend time in nature.
Reviews
I had an unexpected work trip to attend out of state for a few days and I needed someone to look over my 3 labs. I reached out to Larissa and She was excited to care for my boys. She has met them several times but this was her first time caring for them at my home. She did not stay in the home, just came by daily to walk, feed, and play with them. She sent pics of them resting and videos of them playing. I am so grateful for her services and it took so much stress off of me with boarding them!

I am currently not offering to care for pets in my home however I will and do travel to my client's home. I care for the fur babies by walking them usually 30-45 min walks. Playing fetch or tug, and feeding them their required meals on schedule. Some of my clients have closed in yards but I still prefer to walk the pets for mental stimulation and exercise. For some of my clients I drop in for others I stay at the property. Furthermore, it depends on your needs , I'm flexible :)
Information Larissa H. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know ahead of time if your fur baby have any special needs/ request. Is he/she good around adults, children, other pets? Any medication? Basically anything I should be aware of .. the do's and do nots.
A typical day
I enjoy stimulating the dogs physically and mentally. I am an energetic person who enjoys nature so a typical day would consist of walking the neighborhood or near by parks. I also like to play a variety of games with them such as catch and tug.
