Larissa

I am a regular house sitter and love the company of animals of all kinds.

I work as a chef for an agency in Melbourne, I get placed in private homes, boarding schools, football clubs or with catering and event companies. This type of role gives me the flexibility to move around and take time off when I wish to.

I have travelled house sitting including in Mexico and have regular fur baby friends all over Aus who I love sharing space with.
I have family in Melbourne and we are all originally from NZ.

In my down time I like to go to the gym, do online study, practice yoga, reiki, meditation, ice bathing, hiking and beaching.
I am single and an introvert so enjoy my own space which is another reason I've found house sitting helpful.

I keep regular contact with my hosts, updating with messages and pics, and always the house will be immaculate on return, with happy fur babies of course.

I see any placement as employment so whatever the position requires I take careful consideration with animal care, garden care, home care, contact and anything else which may need doing/organising. I've been a café business owner so am used to problem solving and managing any type of challenge.

I have an Instagram page @mindthefurbaby for pics of some of the gorgeous babies I have looked after.

I currently have a 2024 Police check, 2021 Working with Children's Check and Personal Referees I can provide.
