Information Larissa P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know in advance if your pet has any allergies, reactive tendencies, things they love or hate, etc so that we are on the same page with what will be most enjoyable and safe for them. Keeping your pet safe, healthy, and happy are my biggest priorities.

A typical day

Tailored to thier health and energy level, play time w/ me usually involves finding nature to sniff and enjoy or playing with favorite toys in their space. I love practicing training or new tricks and will work with your pet if you have something in mind you would like them to work on, from obidience to cute tricks! If your dog likes hiking or swimming I am also open to taking them along on a hike in the neighborhood mountains or a dip in the lake.

Animals + nature are my happy place

Pet care experience

I've had large breed dogs my entire life and volunteer regularly at shelters to help.socialize the animals to be more adoptable. My last rottie had leukemia and I cared for her throughout chemotherapy so have experience with many related health challenges.

What a thoughtful and responsible caretaker! Larissa kindly fed and played with my 3 cats, including a pretty crazy panther-kitten; I felt like they were in great hands, she followed my instructions to a tee, and even the shy cat came out to play with her. Hope to be able to book her services for my future trips away!

Larissa is a true animal lover. She has had pets all of her life. She volunteers for pet shelters to take care of the little fur babies. She has been around animals all her life and has fostered many dogs and cats., Larissa is totally reliable and trustworthy and animals adore her! She is always very helpful if something unexpected comes up. It is so nice to go on holiday knowing that your pets are in such good hands

Larissa truly has a heart for animals. In addition to being a devoted mother to her own fur babies, she regularly volunteers with the Humane Society and fosters animals waiting to find their forever homes. If you're looking for a responsible and loving pet caregiver, Larissa's your girl.
