I'd rather hang out with dogs!
Pet care experience
Nothing lifts your spirits like a ball of fur with a wagging tail! I've always had dogs, and always will. I would love to get to know yours! I understand each dog has a different personality and enjoy getting to know that personality and can cater to each dog's needs--whether those needs are more attention, more space, more walks, more chilling, etc. I am used to pets who are not necessarily comfortable in a strange place with strange people, so I am very experienced in allowing the dog (or cat!) to tell me what he or she needs/wants. I allow pets to settle in at their own pace and become familiar with all of the new things and people. Once relaxed, we will have a great time! I live on an acreage with plenty of room to roam and smell everything! I do not have a fenced in yard, so leashes are required. I do have horses and small inside dogs. I have experience with cats as well. I am a one-cat owner, but she lived to be 22 years old, so I did have a lot of years' experience! She was a calico and had all the 'tude! As a pet mom myself, I know what it's like to be away from your pet and worry about how he or she is doing. I would love to send photos and updates as often as you need!
Reviews
Larissa and her family made our Bear feel so loved and welcome! We felt so confident that Bear was being loved and cared for and we never worried one bit! Larissa sent photos and videos so we could see how he was settling in. She’s the perfect doggy daycare.
Larissa is always so good with my dog nash. This is my 3rd time booking with her and she is always happy to take nash and has gotten me in on a short notice too!
Larissa was awesome! Our 1 yr old dog had a blast and was treated so kindly. She walked her and sent lots of pics and videos to keep us updated. We highly recommend her loving home!
Larissa was amazing and attentive with Ripley! She has experience with older dogs and made sure he had a balance of walks and nap time. Definitely recommend her!

Home
Information Larissa P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. I do have small dogs, so overly aggressive personalities should be avoided. I never expect dogs to instantly mingle or try to force friends. Space will be provided for my and your dog's safety unless we feel they can be friends, but they will always be supervised. Special needs are welcome! I have experience caring for senior pets and patience for the young ones as well.
A typical day
There is plenty of room on the acreage for short or long walks with all the sniffs! Leashes are required to ensure no one gets too far out of reach. I encourage toys for indoor playtime, too! Potty breaks/walks/playtime can be as often as needed!
Services
Larissa can host
Availability
I'm available for boarding all days and times of the week. I am home to give brief walks during the day and longer walks in the mornings and at night.
