Pet care experience

I grew up with & love animals!

I have always loved animals. I grew up with dogs at our home in Colts Neck. Many of my childhood friends had dogs; we played with and walked them together many times. My sister, brother & I spent a lot of time with my grandparents, who bred & raised Hungarian Pulis in Englishtown. We have fond childhood memories playing with their dogs and puppies! I really enjoy playing with and taking dogs for walks. I go to the gym numerous days of the week to exercise and also, take yoga. I am health conscience and know the importance of healthy eating and exercising. My husband also knows the importance of exercising, as he goes to the gym regularly. He grew up with dogs that he, his sister and parents enjoyed. Our community in which we live does not allow dogs; this is also why I would love to enjoy spending quality time with your pets. Friendly walks and playing with your doggy would be super rewarding to me!

We are so happy we found Kathy and John. We were staying in Ocean Grove for the week with our dog, Harley, and needed a last minute dog walker. Away from home, we turned to Rover and saw all of their positive reviews. We couldn’t agree more. They were flexible and communicative. We loved seeing the pictures of Harley and were relieved she was being well taken of while we were away.

Absolutely amazing, super knowledgeable, immensely loving, sweet, and patient with our fur-babies!!! We have yet to have ever, even once, found such a kind, responsible, communicative and absolutely unparalleled person - let alone such a dynamic duo - as these two!!! My partner and I can both tell for 100% sure, from all of the gorgeous, super adorable, photos that Kathy and John take on each of their drop-ins and long walks with our two doggos, that they cannot wait for the next time that Kathy and John come to care for them 🥰😍🤩. Each and every visit, they go for long walks, smell all the sniffs in our neighborhood, play games inside and outside, and get all the food, water, love and attention that they need!! They are simply the best!!
