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.

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!

Ken was so kind and attentive to our senior dog! He’s someone who loves dogs and is happy to make sure they’re comfortable. Great communication and sweet updates too. The best!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ken! From booking and communication to drop off/pick up, everything was smooth and easy. We have a very energetic young puppy and Ken was fantastic with him! It was very comforting knowing he was in such good hands.

I trust Ken with my dogs. He understands their personalities and dynamics. He’s easy to work with. Communication is prompt and clear.

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.

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.
