Schedule update: I am looking for full time work, it will be an 8 hour shift. I truly want to take care of as many animals as I can which is why I love meeting new people and new pets. Each individual always brings something special to my life. I always hope to help each family feel confident that I would care for their fur babies as they would. I love animals of all kinds. Experienced with horses, birds, fishes, snakes, and lizards. Having owned dogs and cats all my life, I trained my dogs to be well behaved. I have helped troubled dogs with behavioral issues along with basic trainings. Through my friends I did training for them and their friends by word of mouth. I have helped teach my friends dog walking techniques, commands, and helped to fix behavioral issues. Change happened because my friends did their homework and were consistent with the training I provided. I believe it is an honor to get to know you and your animal family.

This was our first time using Rover. We will definitely be repeat customers of Larissa at Rover. We have a little rescue dog that would not do well being boarded at all. She came from a bad situation. She bonded with Larissa immediately, tail wagging and sitting on her lap. Larissa also took excellent care of our koi pond. We even would’ve lost a small koi. Larissa took such care she quickly saw one of the fish had managed to get into the skimmer. She got it out and koi is fine. If she had not been watching like she was it would not have survived. All plants she kept watered too. Very grateful for the excellent service Larissa provided! F

Larissa was great! She was very attentive to my pets’ needs. You can tell that she is very pet savvy and knows how to handle different situations. I have both a dog and cat and with their approval I will definitely use her again when I need a sitter.

Larrisa was great! She cleaned up after herself better than any sitter I've had. We got lots of updates and our dogs got lots of cuddles.

Larissa did a spectacular job with our fur babies. She took care of our 4 dogs and 1 cat. 2 of our dogs required a lot of attention, our older girl Layla is 15 and has to take multiple eye drops after having a cataract surgery last year. Larissa took on this task without hesitation. She is the only person we have trusted with this task as it is a crucial part of the after-cataract surgery care. Larissa also made fast friends with our other dog that suffers from Separation Anxiety, Bailey is a daddy's girl and Larissa made sure she was well attended to in our absence. Our Bentley & Riley, took to her quickly also and they enjoyed her daily ball playing activities. Our cat is a shy girl, but she also made her way to be close to Larissa to get her belly rubs. We are grateful for the wonderful care she took of both our fur babies and our home. She left the house as neat and clean as she found it. We plan on requesting Larissa for our next vacation, and we sincerely hope she will be available when that time comes.

Came home to happy pups! House was clean. Got updates all along the way! Our pup Penelope tends to be shy but fell in love with Larissa! Would definitely recommend her.

Larissa was exceptional during every step of the process. We had never used the Rover app before but Larissa walked us through the process and made everything easy. Our dogs were very happy and loved being with Larissa. We will definitely choose Larissa for our next trip!
