I am beyond thrilled with the exceptional care provided by Larissa for my beloved furry boy, Malay. As a fellow pet sitter myself, I understand the importance of finding a reliable and suitable person to trust with the well-being of our pets. After careful consideration, I chose Larissa to look after Malay during a recent long weekend, and it was undoubtedly the best decision I could have made. Larissa's commitment to keeping me well-informed and involved throughout was truly remarkable. She understood the significance of regular updates and went above and beyond, providing me with delightful photos and videos of Malay each day. This thoughtful gesture not only put my mind at ease but also allowed me to enjoy my time away, knowing that Malay was in the hands of someone genuinely caring. The level of care and treatment Larissa showed towards Malay was truly remarkable. It is evident that she is passionate about her job and genuinely loves animals. Malay was not only well-fed and kept in a clean environment but also received an abundance of love, attention, and playtime. It warms my heart to know that she treated Malay as if he were her own. I cannot emphasise enough how grateful I am for Larissa's outstanding service. It is reassuring to know that there are pet sitters like her who go the extra mile to ensure our furry family members are safe, happy, and well-cared for. I can confidently say that I will undoubtedly be using her services again in the future. Her professionalism, reliability, and love for animals make her a top choice for any pet owner seeking exceptional care. If you're searching for a trustworthy, loving, and dedicated pet sitter, I highly recommend Larissa. You can rest assured knowing that your furry friend will be in the best possible hands. Thank you, Larissa & Nega, for your remarkable care of Malay!

This was the first time in years that our dog was staying with someone who’s not family, but Ari from the start put us at ease. She took great care of our very senior dog, even when our dog’s behaviour was causing issues multiple times. It seems that our dog quickly settled down at Ari’s home and was happy there. We would wholeheartedly recommend Ari - she has an immense patience, really considers the dog’s needs, and she’s a great communicator. She’s especially a great fit for senior dogs, with all their quirks. We’re very grateful to Ari and her husband Nick for taking such great care of our doggie, they are great dog sitters, and we would book them again.
