I cannot say enough wonderful things about Larissa! From the very first meet-and-greet, I knew Jasper would be in great hands. She welcomed him with so much love, warmth, and genuine care that it immediately put my mind at ease. While I was on vacation, Larissa kept me updated with pictures and messages, and it was clear Jasper was having an absolute blast. Seeing him so happy, comfortable, and loved made it easy for me to truly relax and enjoy my time away without worrying. As dog parents, we all hope to find someone who will care for our pets the same way we do, and Larissa exceeded every expectation. I am so grateful to have found someone who loves and cares for Jasper as if he were her own. Thank you, Larissa, for taking such amazing care of jasper. I would trust you with him again in a heartbeat!

I left my two senior dogs in the great care of Larissa. I was a little apprehensive as I do not leave my dogs often....one has serious mobility issues. She put my mind at ease immediately and I knew my dogs would be well cared for. She sent pics and updates throughout the stay which I really appreciated. I absolutely recommend Larissa for anyone looking for a caring, attentive, kind pet sitter!

My dog Waverly had a 3-day vacation away from the chaos of my house and crazy kids. I am grateful that Larissa accepted our last-minute booking and welcomed Waverly with open arms. All my requests/instructions were followed perfectly. Larissa's home is also in a peaceful, quiet location - a great spot away from fireworks and loud noises. Waverly was in heaven!

I couldn’t be happier with Larissa providing wonderful care for my sweet dog, Jewel. She was clearly well loved during her visit. I highly recommend Larissa for anyone looking for a caring, kind and reliable sitter ♥️
