Pet care experience

I love the stubbornness of animals

I've had animals since I was little, cats, dogs, reptiles, ferrets, and I've loved them all as if they were my children, specific dietary or exercise needs is no problem for me. A pet to me is a part of the family.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard and my childhood dog had many issues later on in life so dietary or medication is no issue for me. The family dog I have now is the most stubborn dog I have ever met, having to work with him has taught me how to deal with stubborn or slightly aggressive dogs.

Larissa took really good care of our 2 outdoor cats. One cat had a special diet and she took good care of her and kept me apprised of how she was doing. The weather was even bad one day. I told her if bad weather comes, I could call my neighbor. But, she came anyway. She is very responsible and dependable, and takes into consideration what is best for the pet.

Punctual, instructions follows and was a great sitter. Chief seemed very happy when I got home, and the house was left neat and orderly

I would highly recommend Larissa as a pet caregiver. She is excellent with dogs, and they seem to love her as well. My dog is very skittish, but Larissa was very patient and he soon felt very much at ease in her presence. Her overall demeanor and love for animals shows through the first time you meet her

Larissa aka Lacey is absolutely wonderful with any sort of pet. Whether it be dogs, cats, reptiles, or even ferrets.....she has years of experience in pet care. Give her a shot, I'm sure you will be more than pleased with the care she'll offer!
