Small Dog Loving Family

We are an active, animal-loving family! When your dog stays with us, they will get beach and trail walks, playtime in our fenced yard, and lots of love and attention. We have taken care of our own dogs and cats for decades, and have both been around them since we were children. We also have a 7-year-old daughter who has been raised around dogs since she was born. She loves them and is gentle and kind. Our dog Selkie is very well socialized and gets along with every dog she meets. Through the years, we have cared for many dogs and cats and other animals belonging to family and friends. We have also had great relationships with dog sitters who cared for our own pups, and we know that it can be nerve-wracking to leave your pet in the care of others, but that it can also be a really fun and positive experience for them.

This was our first time using Rover and Gael and Bridget were great with our pups. Gael kept us updated with pictures and was easy to communicate with. We would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.

Gael and Bridget went above and beyond in caring for Coco. They took him on some fun adventures: canoeing, camping on a trampoline, hikes in the B woods etc with their own dog. .Coco was treated like a member of their family. I was so charmed and relieved to see photos and videos they sent often during our week apart. He received so much love that I wonder if he missed me as much as I missed him. I would not hesitate to schedule another home stay for him and in fact feel freer to do so now that I know he would be so well taken care of.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and security are a priority, and we are careful about traffic, unknown dogs and other hazards. We live on a quiet dead-end street and our backyard is securely fenced. We work from home, so we can keep a close eye on the pups. Our own dog is a very playful and friendly 18-pound mystery doodle, is well accustomed to all dogs, and loves company. She is one year old and is spayed. Because we have a small child and a small dog, we can only host dogs that are known to be good with children and other dogs.

Pets

A typical day

We are lucky to live very close to a beach and near many trails, so we take them for lots of fun walks (and swims if they like the water). We play in the house and back yard with toys (fetch, tug, etc). We also give them lots of love and attention. And Selkie, our dog, is always up for playing with other dogs.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Gael & Bridget can host up to 2 pets per night
We are interested in small dogs at this time (30lbs and under), as we have a small child and a small dog. We aren't able to host that is known to bite or be aggressive toward children or dogs. Also, unless your dog is a puppy, we ask that they be housebroken and treated for fleas/ticks in the appropriate months.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
