Availability
I work in performing arts administration from home with a flexible schedule. Visiting pets is a fun way to break up my day and connect with the local community! Every inquiry will get a reply. Long duration and multi visit per day bookings are welcomed. My commitments and responsibilities are local--I do not travel often so I would love to be your kitty's go-to sitter and friend 😻 Flexible drop-in times are appreciated whenever possible in case there are pets in my care that require timed visits for medically-related needs.

About Larissa H.

Cat skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very careful when entering and exiting a residence to prevent sneak outs. I am conscious to ensure doors are locked (previously held key/safe/alarm code responsibilities for very large companies), scan for hazards, and make sure your pet is safe in your home while you are away. Any closed doors/off limit areas and lighting settings will be honored through duration of visit unless otherwise advised. I am Pet CPR/First Aid Certified.

A typical day
I follow your pet's lead! Whether they wanna nap, hide, play, eat, cuddle, be bushed--I will meet them how they choose to be to be present in their space. My goal is to maintain whatever routine is already established for your pet as much as possible while you are away. I will do everything I can to make sure everything is fresh, clean, and comfy for them.

Cat care experience
**Repeat clients: please send me a message if you do not see availability for the days you need!** I have had pets for over 30 years and I can not imagine life without that special relationship. 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 accept new clients on a limited basis to ensure I am not overbooked and can be consistently available and present to provide quality, loving care for your amazing pets. 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 am mature, respectful/discreet, and tidy. Watering plants and picking up packages not a problem! My standard service area is Dahill Rd to Flatbush 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!
Reviews
Great once again. Your messages and pictures set us at ease about leaving our cat alone for an extended period. Thanks Larissa!
Easy and helpful experience and our cats were well cared for-will use again!
Our cat simply loves Larissa, and she sends the best pics!
It’s such a relief to know that your cat is being so well taken care of when you are away from home. Larissa is so good about being in touch and playing with our Mochi and sending pics, our only worry is that he won’t like us as much he likes her when we get back. If you want the most reliable and kindest cat sitter ever, just book Larissa!
