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 small and medium-sized dogs (Shitzus, Golden Retrievers, Greyhounds, German Shepherds), cats of all kinds, 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 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.
I've done a lot of longer-term housesits (3 weeks+) and this extended time with pets has been a wonderful way to care for animals and have them comfortable, but am also happy with shorter sits. Please reach out if this sounds right for you!
A bit more about me:
I work in healthcare locally part-time, 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.
I'm very happy to discuss options for petsitting around inner north suburbs, and to discuss custom rates for longer-term sits! If you have any questions, reach out - I'm happy to have a chat or an initial meet to see if we're a good fit!
Looking forward to meeting you! :)
