Safety, trust & environment

Kieran and I both work from home so we are able to spend a ton of time with your dog. We live right by a nature trail which we like to walk on once in the morning and once in the evening. During the day while we are working, we try to take breaks to play. If it’s a busy workday we have a lot of puzzle toys we like to give to avoid our dog getting bored and under-stimulated. We also have a dog door with a fenced in yard. Our dog Leon is an escape artist, so our fence is reinforced on all sides so there is no way for him to dig out. On weekends we love to go on longer trail walks or other adventures.

Information Emily & Kieran D. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know about your dog's general personality, what makes them feel safe, and if they have any special needs. I also like to know about your dog's temperament, especially around other dogs.

A typical day

Work week - Morning walks on a trail, playtime throughout the day, evening walks on a trail. Sometimes in the evenings we like to pop over to Willard Beach for their dog-friendly hour. Weekend - Usually like to go on a longer trail walk or to a dog park. Lots of playtime.

Pet care experience

My husband Kieran and I both grew up with dogs and have one of our own, a 2 year old Terrier mix named Leon. Leon is super sweet and gets along great with other dogs. We have lots of experience dog sitting for our parents, friends, and neighbors throughout the years. We would love to take care of your pup!

Emily and Kieran were the best dog watchers! Their dog Leon is so chill and playful with our pup, Roscoe. They did two walks a day and outdoor play was easy with a doggy door. We received daily updates. So grateful to have Roscoe in good hands while we were away.

Emily and Kieran are fantastic dog sitters and their dog Leon is pretty amazing to! They did such an amazing job watching our sweet girl Cassidy. They were very careful to follow Cassidy's care instructions! We really appreciate it! And would definitely book with them again!

Emily and Kieran were so great with Chewy! I met with them and Leon leading up to the booking which was great so that our dogs met ahead of time. They sent periodic updates which was awesome and put me at ease. It was a wonderful first experience using Rover.
