What Reviews Say
175 reviews analyzedRover Retreat is highly regarded by long-term and repeat clients for providing an environment where dogs return home happy and 'wiped out.' The facility excels at handling high-energy breeds and dogs with special medical or emotional needs, often going the extra mile for travelers. However, there is significant friction regarding their strict nap-time policies and a lack of transparency due to the absence of webcams, which has led to defensive interactions between management and dissatisfied customers.
