About

Hello, my name is Larissa, I am a single, 45 yo chef. I enjoy yoga, meditation, keeping fit, eating clean, reading, online study and music.

I have house sat for several years now, using these websites and for friends and family in Melbourne.

All of my friends would highly recommend me, not only do I adore animals and love spending time out and about with pups, I have worked in hospitality for 20+ years and naturally keep my work and living spaces clean.

My family live in Melbourne, Mum, older sister, nieces and nephews and I enjoy spending time here over Summer but intend to travel during the Winters, this year it is Queensland.

My beautiful boy cat fonzie died in April 2018, he was 21 and absolutely the love of my life. I decided that given I want to travel, having a pet is not suitable for me at this time but I really miss the cuddles.

I now house sit full time after living in the same rented property for 10 years in St Kilda. I enjoy looking after homes and pets and it gives me the freedom to take off whenever I feel the need.
I work for a chef agency based in Melbourne but I only work part-time hours which leaves plenty of time for walking, beaching and studying. I can also pick days and hours depending on my hosts pets needs.

I have an instagram page

Riss looked after our home and cat over new years. She took great care of both. She has exceptional attention to detail. We really appreciated her communication. Would absolutely have her sit again!

Larissa is the best. She made everything easy, was super communicative, sent me nice little updates while I was away and best of all took very good care of my little cat. Came home to 1 happy fur baby and a nice neat home. Thanks for everything Larissa, really appreciate it.

Larissa was absolutely fantastic. She came over a few times before the sit to get use to our dogs and their routine. She kept in contact with us while we were away and sent photos of our fur babies and even washed our girls so they were nice and clean. She did a fantastic job of looking after our home, cleaning it and watering all our plants. She not only looked after our house like it was her own but she also took great care of my car and replaced the windscreen wipers. Larissa definitely exceeded our expectations of a house sitter, she was absolutely fantastic and I would recommend her 100%

Larissa was a fantastic sitter. Communication was great, she took excellent care of our older, needy cat and the house was extremely well cared for and looked better on our return than when we left. We would have her back in a heartbeat.

Larissa looked after my 3 cats over a long weekend that I was out of the country. While they are not high-needs cats, they are quick to complain but in this instance they were happy, relaxed and obviously extremely well cared for while I was away. My flight home got in very late in the evening and Larissa even made sure they were fed in the evening. She even left the house cleaner than when I left! I would definitely recommend for any house & pet sitting opportunities.
