Highlights
Pet care experience
🐾Licensed Dog Boarding and Daycare
I have had several dogs for over 20 years. I offer a secure, loving environment with full-time, 24/7 care. I’ve held a higher standard dog boarding and daycare license since 2026. Additionally, both my pet boarding insurance and Canine First Aid are in date. I’ve cared for a variety of dogs, including working breeds, seniors, puppies, and rescue dogs. I used to dog-sit for private clients when I was younger and have regularly boarded family pets for years. * Licensing Notice: In accordance with council regulations, a signed owner consent form is required prior to all boarding stays. Along with your pet’s up-to-date vaccination record.

Ratings and reviews
Absolutely lovely. Larissa looked after my boys like they were her own ❤️. They had a great time and were spoiled rotten. We’re booked back in with her in a few weeks and I think they’ll be buzzing to go back!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic dog sitter! Great communication from start to finish, really friendly, and I felt completely at ease leaving Bruce in their care. It was clear my dog was well looked after and happy. I'd definitely use them again and would happily recommend them to others. Thank you!
We booked Finn in with Larissa as a last minute emergency booking, as have been extremely satisfied! Our dog bounced into their lives! We were kept mostly updated with photo's and comments about his time! When we picked him up he seemed very content, no signs of stress at all! Finn was even given a toy as a parting gift! Finn has been extremely well looked after and we will come back again!
Larissa was an absolute lifesaver! We needed someone to look after our dog, Bailey, on extremely short notice, and she stepped up without missing a beat. From the moment we dropped Bailey off, Larissa put all our last-minute worries completely to rest. She kept us updated with lovely photo updates and treated Bailey just like one of her own. He came home relaxed, thoroughly spoilt, and as happy as could be! We are so grateful for how warm, accommodating, and flexible Larissa was with such a late booking. I couldn't recommend her enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
Thank you Larissa for looking after my Bertie at such short notice! He’s a high maintenance little guy but he looks like he has had a marvellous time with you and Dash. I wouldn’t hesitate to use you again in the future, thank you so much ❤️
Thankyou for looking after Cocoa for the night , keeping me updated and keeping him comfortable.

I'm a full-time student, and I study from home and am home with the dogs all day. Your dog will receive 24/7 companionship and will never be left alone. My hours are flexible, and I can maintain your dog’s usual routines without any disruption.

A typical day
There may be times where I have two dogs from different homes, with owner’s consent. Mornings: Breakfast and then a short walk, playtime (find the treats, activity mat, fetch, etc). Afternoons: Medium to long walk (weather dependent), playtime activities, sometimes I bake doggy cakes with them. Evenings: Dinner, walkies, I often play music for the dogs to get them settled for the night.
