Safety, trust & environment

I’m available to stay overnights &/or extra hours in your home for your furbaby(ies). I bring water bowls with me on longer walks & in warmer weather. I have an extra leash as well. I wear a headlamp and reflective jacket at night. I also gather vet info & emergency contacts for safety reasons. I’ll ensure your home stays clean. I'll take care of your plants &/or wildlife, too, if you have any!

Information Larissa K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what kind of activities &/or toys your pet(s) like, as well as any specific needs, preferences &/or behavioral issues they have so I can better cater to them. Also, kindly inform me if your pet has a special diet (cooked food, certain eating habits, etc), if they are food-motivated, how long they can be left alone, how they typically behave during walks, & of any exercise preferences. I have experience with medical administration & can administer if necessary. If your pet has separation anxiety, I will spend more time doing my best to help them feel comforted while you're away. If your pet is being trained, please inform me as to how you may want me to interact with them (commands, etc). Let me know if they're allowed to walk on a retractable leash as well.

A typical day

I can match your pet’s energy, whether they are energetic & playful or calm & quiet. I will engage their senses for mental & physical stimulation. This includes walks/jogs/hikes, play, quality pets, cuddles, etc. Your fur babies will be offered the same respect, love & care while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Use my code when booking: https://www.rover.com/sit/larisk96608 Hi pet parents! I love being around animals & I’ve grown up with & cared for them since I was young. I have caregiving experience for family, neighbors & friends, including elderly pets & those requiring special assistance. I’ve demonstrated a caring, cautious, patient & observant approach with every animal I encounter. I’m frequently between Troy or Clifton Park. We have a GS puppy and a senior kitty who live separately. It’s important that your fur babies are vaccinated to ensure the safety of my own. Currently working on socializing my pup to make more friends! I prep/cook for my pup & cook/administer supplements to my kitty. I want them to have the best lives. You can expect the same for your pets - I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I will care for any animal(s). I’ve worked with cats, dogs of different breeds and sizes (up to 120 lbs), birds, rodents, & horses. I will always follow your directives & ensure the safety of your pet(s) at all times. I can match your pet’s energy, whether they are energetic & playful or calm & quiet. I will communicate (picture) updates with you to put your mind at ease. I will not only feed, pet, walk & play with your fur babies, but I will do any & all types of clean-up after your pets. Your fur child(ren) will be offered the same respect, love & care while you’re away! Thank you for considering me. I'm furtunate & grateful to be of service! Any & all questions are welcome!

Larissa made my mind feel at ease as she took care of my boys. It was last minute overnight stays but she was very good to them.
