Testimonials

“I appreciate the care and love that the ladies give to our dog Acee. Our dog can be a handful as she is still a puppy and needs to burn off that energy while I am at work. Thank you for all you do.”
– Reviewer

“Karen Oliver offers expert canine behavior consulting in your home. She helped me train my large German Shepherd puppy to have good manners (no mouthing or jumping up on people). On-site they offer obedience classes and doggie day care. My dog loves to go there and I am confident that he is in a safe environment. The owners are genuinely interested in providing terrific care for my dog.”

“Bring Rover Over has been a great benefit to our family. Our dog Luna goes there two days a week. She is safe, and very happy. She really seems to enjoy playing with her doggie friends.”
