Safety, trust & environment

I am always respectful of a person's belongings. I will only go in areas I've been asked to, unless the safety of your animal or myself requires it. I am eager to keep your animal's routine to its regular schedule. I treat all animals, even ones who are acting out, with calmness, patience, firmness, and compassion.

Information Larissa P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors. I will do my best to accommodate. I'd especially like to know if they have any triggers that make them anxious or aggressive.

A typical day

I like to play fetch and tug games with my dogs. I'm also good at creating stimulating games for dogs who like to sniff. Find the treat is a favorite for my dogs at home! We can also do some training to exercise those thinking muscles.

Pets

Love all dogs, even difficult ones

Pet care experience

I grew up with a dog that had major resource guarding issues. I pet sat a little as a teen, and over the years occasionally for friends and family. I've had my own rescue dogs for 5+ years now. They're both sweet and amazing, but they definitely have a serious naughty streak. I love all dogs, but I have a special soft spot for the mischievous ones. I am a large person, so a larger dog won't pull me down. I have experience with oral medications and dog training.

Larissa is wonderful and so caring for our pups. She paid special attention to our gentle old lady dog and seemed amused by our precocious younger one. Will happily hire her again.
