Your best friend is our best friend

Pet care experience

We recently lost our best friend Theodore to cancer at the unfair age of 6. He was the most loved and cared for Old English Sheepdog, and we miss him so much! David and I would like to get another dog (and we probably will), but for now we'd love to take care of yours! We live in a 2 bedroom apartment in close proximity to two parks and the waterfront. We'd prefer to host on weekends or holidays so we wouldn't have to leave your puppy alone all day (we work full-time but have some availability to work from home). We are also open to special care requests and can administer medication if necessary. We have two cats (Chloe and Alexis) who generally keep to themselves if they aren't being herded into a corner! If you tell us what your friend likes, we'll make sure to pamper them!

These fine folks, David and Melissa have been so wonderful over and over again. I cannot say enough abiut them. I was trully blessed too have them watch Lili (boxer) several occasions amd we are sad to see them relocate however we will anxiously wait for rheir return!! I don't think there is anyone comparable to these 2 loving individuals when it comes to unconditional love for fur babies. 5 Stars does not come close to what I would rank them. Lili and I will miss you both genuinely. Come back soon!!! ?❤

I cannot thank David and Melissa enough for their kindness on taking care of Lili. She is now a repeated guest at their home and she was so happy to be with them. Their care is excellent and their commitment to providing the best care and love to my boxer is simply amazing!! Time and time again, we will be returning to David and Melissa. She is already looking forward to more weekend getaways. Thank you both for everything! Natalie and Lili

Let me firstly say that I am blessed by having the chance to come across this amazing couple! We met on short notice and the inital meet and greet was thoroughly done. They asked all the relevant questions a caring dog owner would want to be reassured when leaving their baby in someone else's care. The following day, Lili was greeted with open arms. Yes she chased their kitties but they remained calmed and had their place set up for my little craziness. Throughout her stay, I received some excellent feedback and tons of pictures as well as videos. There was not one instance that I felt my fur baby was not in good care. I will say I didn't want to leave such an amazing review because I want to keep this wonderful couple all to myself but wow... I am speechless and so grateful that I can count on them to be there for me and Lili. Thank you so much and as I said, Lili has a 2nd home to go to from now on! Thank you Melissa and David, you have touched the heart of Lili and I. Undoubtedly the best sitters I've ever met! 10* isn't sufficient for their care, love and knowledge they have.
