The only place I'll take my two dogs. They love going there and I love taking them there!

We have worked with Dean and Charla for several months.

First, a word of caution about other dog trainers. Your dog has a window of opportunity when he or she is young to learn the essentials of good, social behavior. Once that window closes, retraining is difficult. We made the mistake of using :supermarket" trainers early and they were inexperienced for the types of issues our dog was having. It ended up being a huge waste of money, and our problems remained.

So . . . . if you want the job done right, you have to go to real professionals, and that's what Charla and Dean at Rover Oaks are. Both of them have real experience in dog training and have worked with service animals, etc.

We have had many weeks of experience with both of them and found them to be consistently patient and intelligent in their approach to our dog.

I think their proces are definately the "market" rate, and not more expensive than others despite what you might think from the label "pet resort." In fact, you will waste far more money on useless devices and poor training if you go elsewhere.

I have been taking my dog to Rover Oaks for years to board and recently started her with Doggie Daycare. I don't usually write reviews but felt it's important to tell anyone who reads this about a remarkable job they did taking care of my 5.5-year old dog back in August.

As I was walking into the store, carrying more than I should, my dog was so energetic to get inside that I accidentally slammed the door on her paw. It gashed her VERY badly, and she was bleeding all over the place. I was in tears upset about leaving her but I had to catch a flight and they said they would take her to the vet if needed and would watch her. Since I've used them for so long, I trusted them and left, as hard as it was.

I called back in between flights and found out not only were they watching her, they kept her in the office with them to really monitor her and give her special attention. I was not expecting that and they told me she was doing great and no need to take her to the vet afterall since she had a minor tear on her pad and it had stopped bleeding and was clean.

I have never worried once about leaving my pet (now pets as there's another addition) there because each time she comes home healthy and happy to see me and she LOVES doggie daycare. Rover Oaks is great!!

To most of us, our 4-legged companions are much like our children or grandchildren. We, as pet owners, would not leave “our kids” with just anyone, be it, daycare, boarding, training or grooming. Our family, including our 3 “kids” (doggies), have been very satisfied customers of Rover Oaks Pet Resort for over 7 years. I look to my “kids” to tell me how happy they are at Rover Oaks. When my car exits the freeway at Kirby, the “kids” start howling, and, by the time we pull into the driveway at Rover Oaks, everyone within a mile knows we have arrived. To me, our doggies will give their own recommendation and thumbs up with a “fierce” wagging of tails and a happy greeting to every staff member.

My “kids” go to day camp with all the other doggies their size, and they learn how to play with others, share the water bowl and the toys. Rover Oaks has one of the best daycamp’s in Houston because the dogs have a huge enclosed area to run and play. The day care staff are so very attentive and protective of each and every pet in their care, and they make sure that everyone in class is loved on and made to feel special.

Some weekends, “our kids” need an overnight vacation from mommy and daddy, which has made Rover Oaks their home away from home. From the time they arrive to board, the staff makes the “kids” feel special. The professionalism of Rover Oaks starts with the front desk’s attention to detail at check-in, which is amazing, with food and other special instructions being taken. Our kids stay in the bunkhouse, but the after hours staff is phenomenal. They always make you feel that your “kids” are super special receiving a bunch of attention and loving. I don’t feel guilty leaving the kids on Holidays, because they get very special Holiday treats and Holiday attention. This attention is what makes Rover Oaks “heads and tails” above other facilities. This is also why it is hard to get a reservation. In fact, Holiday reservations are booked a year in advance.

Our family now has a new addition; a 15 week old puppy. The puppy will follow his brothers and sister to Rover Oaks where he will go through their Board and Train program. Rover Oaks is like a Camp that you register for when your kids are born.

Over the years, some of the staff has changed, but the training, loving and caring attitude of every staff member has not changed. The facility is always immaculate and never smells, no matter time of day, and their doors are always open for a tour.

Our “kids” truly believe that Rover Oaks Pet Resort is the best boarding, training, doggie daycare, and grooming in Houston.

I have been taking my awesome dog to Rover Oaks since she was a puppy. First we did a one month training session, where she stayed at Rover Oaks and spent the month being trained. She was a crazy lab puppy and they did a great job with her. We board her there whenever we go on a trip and she cannot wait to go. But what my dog looks forward to the most is Doggie Day Camp. I work all the time, so twice a week I drop her off for the day and she gets to play outside all day with her "friend dogs." The dogs are screened for temperment before they are even allowed into Day Camp, which alleviated my fear that she would be playing with some dog that is rough and out of control. She loves it so much that we cannot say the words Rover Oaks at home unless we are really planning to take her there - she gets so excited just hearing those words. The quaility of the treatment of our dog is incredible. Everyone knows who she is and when I drop her off I always feel like they think my dog is special. I cannot imagine taking my dog somewhere else!!
