About Laressa

Hi there! I'm an experienced, Kiwi animal lover (here on a working holiday visa until Feb 2027) with a deep passion for caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. My motivation for pet sitting is simple: I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and kind to care for your beloved pets, and I aim to be exactly that person. I am committed to following all routines and instructions meticulously.

I have extensive previous experience, including working as a professional pet sitter in New Zealand. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and rats. I also have years of experience with large animals like horses and cows: I'm a long-time horse rider and previously worked on a dairy farm. This diverse background demonstrates my exceptional reliability and competence with complex care routines. I am also happy to learn about caring for more unique pets like snakes or hamsters!

My services include Home Visits, Dog Walking, and House Sitting.

Since I am not currently working, I am available to be home all day to provide constant supervision and companionship—perfect for pets with special needs or separation anxiety. I will happily water plants and do light cleaning as well.

If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, I’d be honored to help! 

IMPORTANT: I live in the Edmonton city centre so looking to service the surrounding areas, the app has been getting confused and saying I'm close to people I'm not!

(Note: As I only offer services in the owner's home, the question about bringing pets to my home is not applicable.)
