Pet care experience

Rusty and I are volunteers for Washington Children's National. We are also apart of Greenbelt Dog Training. You can find Rusty and I during the Montgomery County Thanksgiving Parade. I have a Great Dane named Rusty and a miniature pincher named Diego . I have experience with breeds of all sizes for thirty years and counting. I am retired which makes me always available and very flexible to take care of your pets when needed. Potty trained preferred but of course not required. But we ask the pet be groomed or bathed to ensure a clean and healthy environment live in a townhome with a large fully fenced in yard. In a rush to find a sitter for your pet? I am always available for last minute bookings! We are looking forward to meeting you and your puppy!

Lakshme is an absolute gem — I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! From the moment I dropped off Jase, it was clear Lakshme genuinely gets dogs. She picked up on his personality right away and knew exactly how to make him feel comfortable and at ease. That kind of intuition is rare and means everything as a pet parent leaving your fur baby in someone else’s hands. Throughout the stay, Lakshme kept me in the loop with regular updates and photos — the kind that make you smile and actually stop worrying. I never had to wonder how Jase was doing because she was always one step ahead. When I picked him up, the proof was in the pudding: happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. That says it all. I will absolutely be booking with Lakshme again and recommend her without any hesitation to anyone looking for a sitter who truly cares. 🐾

Lakshme is phenomenal and did a great job taking care of my dog. She's very affectionate, observant, caring, and highly knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. I will certainly hire Lakshme again for future dog sitting and drop in visits!! Thank you very much!

AMAZING experience with Lakshme! She went all out for my dog, Ches, on a cold and rainy Saturday morning at 5:30 AM! Not only did she greet him with treats and pics, but she also shared the big bed upstairs with him. She is always great with Ches and is extremely knowledgeable!

As always, Lakshme takes good care of our Ziggy, but this time around, she did it in such short notice and we are so grateful for her! Love her hourly updates and her constant communication throughout the day!
