Pet care experience

Dog Haven - Home, Family, Neighbors

Grew up in Ohio around many animals, been in this dog friendly NJ home 26 years and love all dogs - though I understand some need more care than others :) . I had fostered many years for Wag On Inn and started Today's Veterinary News from my love of dogs. As an empty nester, I am looking to care for more animals and share the wealth of a wonderful dog friendly home and neighborhood.

Ken took great care of our two Bernedoodles. Our dogs were very comfortable with Ken and you can tell that he is truly an animal lover. Would definitely recommend Ken and we hope to book with him again in the future!

Ken is such a gem. You can tell he loves dogs and wants to help them have a great day. Our senior dog Marty was right at home and felt so excited to be at his house. The fenced in yard and regular updates of her relaxing in the grass were lovely touches. We'll definitely ask for Ken's help again in the future!

We left our super energetic 10 month old French bulldog Frankie with Ken for 3 days and 2 nights. He took great care of him and sent him home healthy and tired. We would definitely recommend him! He’s very nice and gives good updates. He seems to really loves dogs.

Ken was great and sent frequent updates with pictures. Our dog Dasiy had nice overnight stay. We are planning on booking again!

A typical day

Yard play and running in yard with toys or with other dogs would be available each day and ideally twice per day. Let me know preferences.

41 to 100 lbs

Ken can host up to 2 pets per night
No preferences, I’m not sure why Rover is making me write “at least twenty five words” on this…but I will do my best always.
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.
