Rompin' Rovers

My husband and I adopted a 7 year old Ridgeback/Hound mix we named Gandalf from the SPCA. Being a rescue with no microchip, we had no history on him. We have 2 cats at home and wanted to be sure they coexist safely and that our Gandalf learned basic obedience. We brought him to Armando and decided it was the right fit for us. In just 2 sessions our boy warmed up to Armando and was already showing signs of obedience! Every time my husband and I took Gandalf to his training sessions we grew prouder. He was excelling! He graduated his program and now has training for life because of the package we purchased. He also goes to daycare there occasionally to help him learn to socialize with other dogs. Whenever we pull up, Gandalf is so excited to be there! He truly loves learning and loves Armando. The entire staff is super friendly and communication is great! Armando has even made himself available anytime by phone or text if we have questions. I highly recommend this place whether it’s training or daycare and we will definitely be taking advantage of their boarding facilities when we are out of town. Thanks to everyone at Rompin Rovers for making this process easy and wonderful! We are proud parents of a graduate!

Rompin Rovers helped us train our rescue Canaan Mia (M. I. A.) who was brought from Afghanistan to the US by troops. She was a stray that they fed and played with while on deployment. She went from a "pee and poop" anywhere and everywhere and run away and pull me down when I tried to walk her to an obedient, well mannered dog. We are still working on assimilation with other dogs. She stayed at the facility when we were starting a major remodel for about 10 days and was happy and healthy upon pick up. Armando and his team are truly compassionate and caring and want the best for your pet!

If you'd like to read an honest review of this boarding facility continue reading. I will not comment on their doggy daycare due to receiving assistance for boarding and not the daycare. I recently took my two french bulldogs Harlow & Lou here due to having to go out of town. I have never had my two boarded so you can only imagine how worried and concerned I was with the whole process. I went & did a meet and greet with my dogs due to my newly adopted French bulldog has aggression when it comes to his face due to him being blind in one eye. One of the owners who is also a trainer met with Lou and he said not a problem and that they could definitely take him on for a few days. Everything that I was told the day I got information was wrong. 1. the price I was quoted was 134.00 which I paid the day I set it up. Realistically it should have been $168 due to having 2 dogs at $28 a night for 3 nights. Instead of the amount I paid upon pickup I was told I should have actually paid roughly $230. 2. I was told I would be able to download their app and have access to the camera in the room they would be staying in. Which did not happen and I accepted it at the point of drop off because I was then told I would receive updates from the staff and tons of pictures. NOT TRUE. 3. I would have constant updates. NOT TRUE. I did not receive any updates. I did though receive one very blurry picture after I demanded and threw a fit. 4. they are smaller than most boarding places so they would be able to handle them one on one and have a better experience so I should have no worries. Again NOT TRUE. My dogs came home filthy and so did their personal items. There was pee all over their stuff. Its almost as if they never left the area I brought them into. If that is due to Lou's aggression they shouldn't have taken on a situation they couldn't handle. The service received was equivalent to leaving your dogs alone for a few days in your house with no potty breaks in a small confined area. On another note the place is office and facility is filthy and smells of urine. On the site it states "private suites" not true. "Extra large runs and suites".. again where? When I picked up my two dogs I spoke with Armando the owner and he was of no help. From the moment I even spoke to Armando on the phone to get info he was trying to sell me on him training my dog before he had even met him. I just adopted my dog and he has medical issues that need to be addressed before he will go through training but anyway that was never what I went there for. You can either board my dog for three days or you cant. This is my own personal experience with them. I expected what all others would expect for their fur babies. They are not just a house "pet" to me. They are my world and it's very upsetting to know the time they had their. But it will not happen again. They easily could have put their items in the laundry to wash them before I picked up. I also attached two pictures of one of my French Bulldogs face and how filthy it was underneath her eyes when I picked her up.It was so hard that it was almost like a scab and when I cleaned it off with warm water in the bath it was red and irritated. No I don't expect my dog to go their having a spa day but they couldn't even take care of a dog for three days.

I can't say enough good things about Armondo and Rompin Rovers! I came to them with a very difficult fear aggressive dog. He was abused as a puppy before I adopted him, and he is terrified of meeting new people. I had two other trainers who were unable to work with him - one of them was never even able to approach him! Armondo and his staff have the way with dogs, and a deep compassion for troubled dogs. We began an intensive dog training regimen, and within the first week saw worlds of improvement. My pup is much happier and more confident with this training. Armondo was never harsh or unkind in his methods. I recommend him to anyone, whether you have a new happy pup or an aggressive dog with a past. They offer a full range of services, training, daycare, and boarding. You won't regret it!
