About Larissa S.

Dog skills

15 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

Currently I offer the walking service with the dogs but, in any case, I believe that safety and trust should be part of all processes. During my time working in the daycare for animals last year, I gained experience with basic training where, I can more easily deal with the insecurities and fears of dogs, making the unwanted in confidence and greater security for him.

VETERINARY STUDENT & PET LOVER

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Larissa, a Veterinary Student who genuinely loves animals. Caring for pets isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I truly enjoy. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, cuddle time on the couch, playtime, or an overnight stay, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know your best friend is doing great. I look forward to meeting you and giving your pet the love and attention they deserve! 🐾💕

We can't recommend Larissa highly enough! She has stayed with our pets multiple times while we've been traveling, and every experience has been outstanding. We have a dog, a bird, and fish, and she takes exceptional care of all of them. What really stood out to us was how thoughtful and caring she is. Before her first stay, she came over a few days in advance to spend time with our dog because he can be nervous around new people. That extra effort made a huge difference and showed how much she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We completely trust Larissa, and she's always our first call whenever we need a pet sitter. We much prefer having our dog stay at home, where he's comfortable and can keep his normal routine, rather than sending him to a boarding facility. Knowing he's in such capable hands gives us incredible peace of mind. As a veterinarian, Larissa brings an extra level of confidence that is invaluable. We always feel reassured knowing she has the knowledge and experience to recognize and handle any health concerns if they were to arise. She has even taken our dog to his activities while we were away, going above and beyond our expectations. Larissa is reliable, compassionate, professional, and truly treats our pets like her own. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.

Larissa has been wonderful with Ash, my dog! She’s reliable, caring, and always keeps me updated after each walk. Ash gets so excited whenever Larissa comes by, which says everything. It’s such a relief knowing Ash is with someone who genuinely cares and treats her like her own. I would absolutely recommend Larissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker!

I highly recommend Larissa. She has taken care of my dog many times, both by taking him for walks and by staying overnight at my house to look after him. My dog absolutely loves her and always gets very excited when he sees her. She is responsible, caring, and truly loves animals. I trust her completely to take great care of my dog.

Larissa is an amazing pet caregiver. She has a large experience and love for the furry babies. I have a girl dog and a girl cat that are obsessed with her. She is your next trustful pet sitter that will come to stay! We absolutely love her!
