**I currently have a pup of my own full-time, a first meeting between mine and yours is now required to see if they can get along. I will also be unable to take in a large/two dogs at a time. I am at home full-time where I spend most of my day reading or writing on my laptop where it is always located where I am able to see your pup, keeping track of their daily habits and see what they are up to without trouble. I will provide updates everyday during their stay with pictures sent.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pup, along with mine, will have access to both the front and backyard where both areas are gated and big enough for any breeds to run freely around under my supervision. The view to the backyard has a clear view from a window where I am able to keep an eye on your pup from inside my house, giving them the space they need to run or laze around. To ensure your pup has a good stay, please bring in their supplies like a favorite toy or two along with doggy treats. If they are allow and with permission, I have treats of my own and love giving them extra along with providing fresh fruits like apples. For an overnight stay, bring everything I have mentioned along with a doggy bed and bowls and dog food. In case you forget to bring in their essentials, I have an extra doggy bed and bowls they can use.

Information Larissa L. would like to know about your pet

Is there something they can and can't do? What can they or cannot eat? What are their personalities like? Are they take any medications? Do they have a specific bedtime? How high or low are their energy? These are important information that need to be made known beforehand to ensure everyone involved are given the reassurance your pup will have a good and safe time.

A typical day

On arrival, your pup are free to explore around so they can become accustom to a new environment and comfortable within a new household. Once everything has been settled, depending on the weather/time of day, I will take them out on a stroll around the area or to the park. If they still have the energy, I will play around with them in the backyard or in the living area. Or leave them be, letting them laze around in the backyard under the sun while they take a much deserved nap.

Pet care experience

Dogs. What are they? Humankind's best friend... or beings sent by aliens to spy on the Earth? Well, either way, these beautiful beings have a long history being by our sides for more than thousands of years; that's before civilization began. And, just like ancient history, dogs have always been a part of my life ever since I can remember. I had own and taken care of dogs for many years where care and love was provided for them all everyday. The same will be given to your furry family member where I will treat them as if they are my own. My home will be their home.

Larissa did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Panda! 🐶 She communicated so well throughout the entire time and even sent me photo updates daily without me having to ask — which I really appreciated. I could tell Panda was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and loving with pets.

Rhino was well taking of by Larissa even though my bulldog was probably a little to much for her, thank you Larissa for watching rhino
