Hi, I'm Larissa! ☺️ I'm a nurse who works day shifts only and I love housesitting for the animal companionship and getting to know new furry friends! :)

My experience in petsitting has included cats of all kinds and temperaments, small-, medium and large-sized dogs (Shitzus, Golden Retrievers, Greyhounds, Whippets, German Shepherds, Wolfhounds), and chickens, although I have also housesat on one occasion with a bird, 5 sheep and 2 alpacas! I've been housesitting for several years on different platforms and do my absolute best to make sure your pets are happy and comfortable while you are away.

I enjoy a clean and tidy home and am happy to recycle/compost if housesitting for you, and will maintain your home and garden as I would my own.

My preference is for longer-term sits of 3 weeks+, and my prices are set accordingly, but happy to also discuss custom prices for long sits so that you can get away on your trip with peace of mind for your pets! I am available to housesit in inner north suburbs within a 30 min public transport commute to my work at a hospital in Parkville. Due to my current work taking me out of the house for 8 hours Monday to Friday, I find that I am a best fit for catsits at present. Please reach out if this sounds right for you!

A bit more about me:
I work in healthcare locally, so I do have regular 8-hour shifts where I will be out of the home (no night shifts, however!). When I'm not working, I like spending time at home with a cuppa and a good book or getting outdoors for a walk.

Happy to share reviews, references and police check as required, and am a non-smoker. ☺️

Looking forward to meeting you! :)
