Pet care experience

Former athlete turned dog cuddler

My family and I raised a pug named Poppy for 13 years and later another named Daisy. Poppy passed away last year after living a full and loving life under our care. I still miss her every day! Dogs seem to be drawn to me everywhere I go. And I’m always happy to play with them any opportunity I get! Don’t be surprised if you fur baby begs you to come back after our time together. Background in semi professional baseball and financial wealth management

House Sitting • Jun 28, 2026

Larry took great care of my dog while I was away. He was reliable, communicative, and made sure everything went smoothly. It was clear my dog was well cared for and comfortable. I really appreciated his help and would be happy to book with him again in the future.

My pet had a wonderful stay while I left him with Larry! Lots of walks, pets and playtime. Would definitely recommend his services and look forward to the next time I am out of town knowing that he will provide good care for my pup.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard with a dog lead and is located within a subdivision away from a busy street. I also have a big open basement with padded floors for your pet to run around and play in. My house is very clean and even has brand new carpets. I allow pets on furniture, I just typically wipe off their paws after we return from walks or playing in the yard. My cat is friendly, but I also have a guest room upstairs she can stay in when company is over. No small objects or choking hazards around and very few breakable items for them to worry about running into.

Pets

A typical day

There are local parks and a small downtown area near my house for long walks. If your dog has a favorite toy, bring it along and I’ll play with them for hours! I’ll go on jogs with your dog if they are more active. I also have a large basement with padded floors to allow your pet to get out some energy. There is even a treadmill in my garage if they are trained to walk on that. Lots of pets and belly rubs are obviously included as well.
