Pet care experience

I have had pets for over 30 years and I can not imagine life without that special relationship. I currently foster cats through the Brooklyn Cat Cafe and have a special needs resident kitty of my own. I have been pet sitting professionally since 2016 and I am very grateful to have discovered what started out as a fun side hustle during a career change is actually my dream job! I take my responsibilities very seriously (but not so seriously that your kitty will not have any fun!) I have no plans of moving or stopping cat sitting and I do not travel often so I would love to be your kitty's goto sitter and friend. I have many years of service work experience and understand the importance of prompt and efficient communication. I pride myself on customer service and will do everything possible to make your life easier for you and your fur babies. Last minute emergency bookings could be accommodated. I'm located in Kensington, Brooklyn and am mature, responsible, and tidy. Watering plants and picking up packages not a problem! My standard service area is Dahill Rd to Ocean Ave, Foster Ave to Parkside Ave. I can go outside that radius on a case-by-case basis (depending on distance, number of visits, and availability) so please do feel free to reach out to check! You can rest assured that your home and pets, likely two of the most important things in your life, will be safe and loved with me!

Larissa has watched Cali three times now and continues to be a wonderful cat sitter! She is communicative and thorough. There was a home issue from the last visit and Larissa went above and beyond to keep Cali safe. I highly recommend Larissa for any pet sitting needs! 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Larissa was fantastic! Very communicative, responsible, and great with our kitties! She even went above and beyond and picked up our mail and packages while we were away.

Availability

I work in arts administration from home with a flexible schedule. Visiting pets is a fun way to break up my day and connect with neighbors! Flexible drop-in times are appreciated whenever possible in case there are pets in my care that require timed visits for medically-related needs.
