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 was beyond AMAZING with Olive and Ivy. She sent update pictures and videos. The girls had an absolute blast with her. She takes wonderful care of your dogs and is very attentive to whatever instructions you leave with her.

Lakshme took great care of Casper while we were on a weekend trip! She sent fun photos and videos, kept him warm with a jacket, and worked on his “stay” and other commands! Good communication. Would definitely use her again!

Lakshme was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we met her at the meet & greet we knew our dog would be in good hands. She has an abundance of experience in taking care of dogs. Our trip was long so it was very important to us that we had good communication and she sent several updates a day with pictures and videos. I will be using Lakshme again not only for up on trips but for weekly drop on visits because my dog had so much fun with her! I am pretty sure he misses her and misses the furry friends he made!

We had to go out of town unexpectedly and Lakshme was able to take our last minute booking without question. She is always there when we need her and we really appreciate that in a sitter! She is always extremely communicative so our minds are set at ease when we're away. She takes our pup. Penny, on nice long walks, gives her plenty of playtime, and feeds her right on schedule. We never have to worry when Lakshme is watching our pup!
