Our Story

We're Brian and Michael—college friends, dog lovers, and the creators of Rover's Racket.

The idea was born when a shoulder injury made it difficult for Michael to throw a tennis ball for his dog without pain. Looking for a better way to play fetch, Brian suggested using a tennis racket instead of a traditional throwing motion.

It worked so well that we started wondering if other dog owners might enjoy it too. After plenty of testing, prototyping, and playtime at the dog park, Rover's Racket was born.

Our goal is simple: make fetch more fun for dogs and easier for the people who love them.
