Information Larissa L. would like to know about your pet

How’s the general dog’s behavior, if it has any special needs. If it’s sick and want to me to give the medicine, how many times walk per day, if they are potty trained, how many times they eat during the day.. What to do or who to call in case of an emergency.

A typical day

I had in my life three amazing dogs, that already passed away, but they received a lot of love from me and my family. I give them a lot of love, go for walks and some of them sleep in bed with me.

Wonderful to work with, responds quickly. She was flexible with my travel changes and understanding with the change in drop off which was extremely appreciated! She took great care of my dog and treated him like her own, he ate well while staying with her which tells me he was very comfortable being there with her. Would love to work with her again

Our little Morkie took an instant liking to Larissa. She was timely, responsive, sent great photos updates & we returned to a spotless house & happy pup. She even went above & beyond, helping out w/ a neighbor’s package delivery. We would definitely book her again as an overnight pet sitter!

My cats seemed to really like Larissa! We were away for a week and upon arrival home the litter boxes were clean as was the kitchen with their used and washed wet food bowls.

Unfortunately we would not recommend Larissa. We asked her to spend the night with our pup, and we found that the guest bed was untouched & definitely had not been slept in. Additionally, she did not provide any proactive updates nor let us know when she arrived. It was only after the arrival window passed, and we had not heard from her- that we reached out for an update. In addition, she was 20 mins late to our meet and greet. She did the bare minimum of walking our dog, but we were not pleased that she did not stay the night when she had agreed to that.
