I do not currently work a part time job as I am a full time college student double majoring in Anthropology and History. As a result me and my work are portable and not uninterruptable, so I can devote a lot of time to playing, walking, cuddling and taking care of pets. I do not have many in person commitments outside of classes, and keep myself busy with computer work, which is portable.

Safety, trust & environment

I cannot care for pets in my home on account of my cats, but in others homes I will feed as instructed (maybe an extra treat or two if they are good) and make sure they aren't sick. I walk and play depending on requirement, and am comfortable with the dogs or cats sleeping with me or otherwise. Typically I will also take the garbage out, clean litter boxes if necessary, water houseplants, and keep the house as clean as I can, and do laundry if the towels need washing. I'll also pull in mail and packages and leave them safe inside. I can also continue behavior training if instructed.

Information Larissa L. would like to know about your pet

I like to know any dietary restrictions. And how they behave on leash, around other dogs and animals. If they have friends that they can play with at parks etc if they happen to be there, and how long and far they like to walk and if they prefer a little light jogging.

A typical day

I do like walks, typically I like to do neighborhood routes if its nice, switching it up daily or weekly for variety, but if there is a nearby dog park, and that okay, I like to go there and play for a while. I also like to play outdoors with dogs if possible in between walks when I'm home.

Pet care experience

I myself had a dog, Duchess and cat, Turtle growing up and I currently have 5 cats at home that I adopted from the street. I have been watching dogs since I started college, spending time with both elderly dogs and puppies in the long term. My first long term job necessitated spending extended amounts of time with an elderly pair of dogs with multiple medications to manage, followed by puppies that required crate work and upkeep of their good behavior training, which I continued as instructed.

Larissa went above and beyond! So thankful to have had her while I was gone to watch over my kitties.
