Lakshmi was super helpful when I was looking for a pet sitter for my Mom’s dog on short notice (in fact we had just dropped off HL at the vet kennels but I didn’t like the thought of leaving him there for such a long time). Lakshmi invited us to come see her place right away and, confident that he would be well taken care of, we went back to the vet office to retrieve Mom’s “baby” and take him back where he was free to run and play all day long with Lakshmi’s other dogs. One of the pictures Lakshmi sent the first night was a great indicator of how much he was enjoying his stay: all 3 dogs sprawled on the couches, asleep to dream of more fun the following day. Lakshmi sent pictures and texted updates of HL’s activities every day to keep us connected — that was reassuring for Mom. I’m thankful we found Lakshmi and will continue to use her excellent pet-sitting services when we take Mom on future travels.
