About Larissa

Hi! I’m a qualified overseas veterinarian and recently worked as a vet nurse here in Brisbane. My husband Charles and I absolutely love caring for pets and treat every animal as if they were our own.

Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had eight dogs over the years (six adopted and two Great Danes!), and I’ve worked with animals both professionally and personally for many years.

We’ve completed over 50 house and pet sits through other platforms, caring for pets of all ages - from playful puppies to senior animals - as well as chickens, turtles, and birds.

🏡 Our home

We’ve recently moved into a spacious home, perfect for hosting pets in a calm and safe environment:

• Large, secure, fully fenced courtyard

• Plenty of space to relax and play

• Dogs have access to both indoor and outdoor areas

• Cats are kept safely indoors only

• Peaceful environment with lots of attention and supervision

We keep numbers low so each pet gets plenty of care, attention, and a stress-free stay.

🐶🐱 Our services

• Pet Boarding (overnight stays): a home away from home with lots of care, playtime, and companionship

• Doggy Daycare: flexible daytime care with supervision and enrichment

• Home Visits: feeding, cleaning, cuddles, and check-ins at your home

• Dog Walking: tailored walks based on your dog’s energy level

• I also offer longer walks and adventure walks (trails and nature spots around Brisbane) for more active dogs — just let me know if you’re interested!

❤️How I care for your pet

I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding, medication, and any special requirements — to help them feel as comfortable and settled as possible. I always take a gentle and gradual approach when introducing pets, making sure everyone feels safe and relaxed.

With my veterinary background, I’m confident recognising early signs of health issues and responding quickly if needed. I’m experienced in administering medications, including oral treatments and injections, and I’m very comfortable caring for senior pets or animals with special needs.

I understand how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I always send regular updates, with plenty of photos and videos, so you can see how your pet is doing and feel completely at ease.
