Information Larissa R. would like to know about your pet

It is always good for me to know if they are good with other dogs and if they enjoy going to dog parks to play with other dogs, or prefer to be walked alone. Dietary restrictions are also important, as I love to spoil doggies but don't want to give them anything they aren't supposed to have. I would also like to know policy on furniture so I don't let them on anything they aren't supposed to be on.

A typical day

I love to take dogs to the local park to be amongst the sights, sounds and smells of nature. After that, a little treat to reward them.I also make sure that they get a delicious and nutritious meal that they enjoy and make sure to prepare it exactly how they like it. Another walk in the cool of the evening on their favorite route before bed is the perfect way to end the day.

Pawsome love: Your dog’s sitter

Pet care experience

Dogs are my passion, and I am ready to give them love, treats, walks, and belly rubs. From fetch, to endless snuggles and attention, to Instagram-worthy photoshoots (yes, I am developing a dog photography business!), your pets will have a vacation of their own while you are away. And don't worry, I'll keep you updated with all the adorable antics they get up to. So go ahead, take that trip knowing your fur babies are in the pawsitively best care! I have a passion for animals and can't wait to shower yours with the love and attention they so richly deserve.

Larissa is fantastic! She took on the challenge of managing three dogs including two energetic huskies during our drop-in visit, and she absolutely did a wonderful job. She went above and beyond to ensure each dog’s needs were met, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again in the future.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
