About Larissa S.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I don’t offer in-home boarding, but instead I provide care right in your own home—keeping your pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free in their familiar environment.
Information Larissa S. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know about your pet’s unique needs ahead of time. Please share if your dog has any special requirements, medical needs, or behaviors I should be aware of so I can provide the best care possible. My preference is to work with friendly breeds to ensure safe, happy experiences for both your pet and me.
A typical day
When I’m dog sitting, walks are never boring! I like to switch up routes or head to nearby parks for new adventures. If the owners are comfortable, I include social stops so pups can greet friendly neighborhood dogs. For high-energy pups, I bring along their favorite ball or squeaky toy for playful breaks, and of course, belly rubs are always on the agenda. I also love snapping cute photo updates along the way so owners can see their fur babies having fun and feeling loved. I arrive on time, full of energy, and ready to give your pet my undivided attention! I follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, treats, backyard cleanup, or extra tasks you need handled while you’re away. Every visit is tailored to your pet’s routine, so they feel happy, comfortable, and loved.
