I will love your dogs immensely!

Pet care experience

Dogs are my true love! I have had, loved, and cared for dogs my whole life. I have rescued many special needs dogs, Senior dogs, and dogs of all sizes and ages and taken great joy in caring for them. I will provide detailed care and attention, along with some medical knowledge (if needed) for your precious fur babies. I have been entrusted by many to dog sit, help medicate, do the dirty work and delicate work for their pets. My own dogs are my children and the light of my world, so I can assure that yours will be as well. I delight in spending as much time as possible playing with and tending to dogs. Your pets are in excellent care with me!

I am writing this review based upon my first experience using LaRissa as a pet/home sitter. Upon her arrival for the Meet-n-Greet, LaRissa introduced herself to me and to the dogs. I think it was love at first sight for all three of the dogs. We spent some time chatting and took a quick tour of the house. My husband and I both felt that my babies were in "GREAT" hands by the time she left the house. During our 7 day vacation, LaRissa checked in with occasional update text messages and pictures of the dog's chilling after a good workout of ball throwing in the backyard. They all looked as happy as could be. I also have 2 cat's, 1 of which is a feral rescue that I saved a few years ago. He has never let anyone see him, other than my husband. He goes in and out of our doggie door on his own but when we have anyone in the house, he refuses to come in. I was completely shocked to hear that LaRissa was able to get him to come in while she was here. Animals are a great judge of character. If you are as apprehensive as was, don't let just "anyone" take care of your pets, LaRissa in my opinion is the best. We have her booked for 2 more vacations this year and we hope to have a long term relationship with her going forward. Sally

Could not find a more loving and caring person for your dog. Rissa has been directly involved in sheltering, dog rescuing and adoption of furry friends. Your dog will be loved and will love being in the care of Rissa.

Larissa is amazing!!!! She is a genuine dog lover and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pack of six. She loves and cares for them as if they are her own! If you are looking for a pet nanny that will love and care for your babies that you can trust for sure contact Larissa.
