Dog-Mom Care While You’re Away
When you’re away, you should be able to take a load off—not spend your time wondering whether your pets are comfortable, lonely, or getting the attention they’re used to. The moment you leave them with me, I go into dog-mom mode on your behalf. I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own, Bruce and Fiona. They’ve taught me patience, consistency, and how important the little details are. I’m comfortable managing multiple-pet households, medication and feeding schedules, different energy levels, late-night potty breaks, and the individual routines that help each pet feel safe. Does your dog like to be tucked into bed at night? Perfect—I can do that. Do they sleep better with someone nearby? I’ll be right there. Are they shy, high-energy, particular about their routine, or happiest with plenty of affection? I’ll take the time to learn what makes them comfortable. You’ll typically receive morning and evening updates with plenty of photos and videos, so you can relax and see how your pets are doing while you’re away. I’m also happy to adjust based on how often you’d like to hear from me. To me, VIP pet care isn’t about treating every animal exactly the same. It means paying attention, following your instructions closely, keeping you updated, and caring for your pets the way I care for my own. While they’re with me, they become part of my pack—and I take that responsibility seriously.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my priority. Before a stay, I like to learn as much as I can about their normal routine, personality, triggers, medical needs, and any little quirks I should know about. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, and never put your dog in an unfamiliar or unnecessary situation without your permission. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep their space clean and comfortable while you’re away. If anything seems off, I’ll communicate with you right away—because I’d rather ask a question than make an assumption when it comes to your dog.
Ratings and reviews
WOW! This was our first time using Rover. Larissa was amazing. She sent us pictures and videos of our little Yorkie. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again. Thanks Larissa!
Larissa is awesome. Plan on using her for future trips.
Larissa was fantastic! The dogs loved her and she took great care of them.
We had a great experience with Larissa, she was very communicative, sent pictures regularly and always kept us up to date, I would not hesitate to use her again for any time we need herz
Super communicative and proactive! She handled everything like a fairy godmother - my quirky house, a 17yo dog who could croak any minute and needs to be carried down the stairs, watered several plants, and cared for chickens (even though I think they make her nervous!), plus so many other things. She sent great updates. She’s thoughtful, easygoing, and nonjudgmental (my house is not traditional 😅). She stayed 10 days and I came home to a house just as clean, if not cleaner. She is worth EVERY dollar!!!
Larissa has taken care of Odin multiple times and is so exceptionally good and attentive to what he needs. Odin loves her and is so comfortable with her. She's my first choice any time I need to go out of town.

Schedule
I’m currently an uber driver and I have plenty of spare time to step in and care for your pets as if they were my own. I have a husband who helps with my dogs at home while I’m away.
