Pet care experience
5+ Years Experience • Loving Pet Sitter
Hiya, I’m Larissa, I’m 28 years old and have over 5 years experience caring for dogs. I trained my own pup, who is now very well-behaved, and I also cared for her during her post-surgery recovery, so I’m comfortable providing attentive support when dogs need extra care. In addition to my own dog, I’ve looked after pets for family and friends, always making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I work from home, which means I can give plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m reliable, responsible, and tuned in to the needs of each pet, my own dog is extremely friendly, loves meeting new pals, and knows when to be respectful of other dogs’ boundaries. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. You can feel confident knowing your furry family member will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me.

Ratings and reviews
We needed someone to house-sit our three cats, and 3-month old puppy during a 10 day trip overseas. We’d never had anyone house sit before, let alone for such a long period of time, so we were quite worried about finding someone and making it work. Larissa was wonderful - she was quick to reply to messages on the Rover app, talked through and agreed all the details in advance, and quickly demonstrated that she’d give our pets the love and attention they needed whilst we were away. She sent regular photos and updates as we’d requested, checked in when she needed anything clarified, took our puppy on frequent walks, and left the house in a really great condition when we got home. It was a great experience from start to finish. I’d highly recommend her to others - we’ll definitely be using her again.
We have used Rover many times over the years and can confidently say that Larissa is the absolute best and she takes such good care of our dog!
Larissa is a fabulous pet-sitter. She took great care of our dachshund and he immediately bonded with her. I would definitely recommend.
Lucrezia had a lovely day with Larissa. We collected a very happy puppy at the end of the day and Larissa kept us updated with photos all day. Thank you Larissa!
Excellent service and super well cared for! We will definitely be re-booking soon!
Amazing thank you so much Ivy had an amazing time we’ll deffo be back !

Schedule
I work from so I’m able to stay with your pet and give them lots of attention during the day and regular toilet breaks. I’m also available on weekends for pet care.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a front garden and a big field behind my house, providing plenty of space for pets to play. I’m also just a 10-minute walk from Goldsworth Park, which is perfect for walks and adventures. At home, I have one friendly dog who loves making new pup friends, as well as two outdoor cats. The cats spend most of their time outside and usually just nap when they’re indoors, so pets visiting will have plenty of space and freedom.

A typical day
A typical day will include plenty of fun and exercise. We’ll head out to the field or park where your dog can sniff around, explore, play, and enjoy a nice walk. If possible, Millie will tag along so they can run and play together too. Back at home, your dog will get lots of cuddles, love, and attention to help them feel happy and relaxed.
