The very best thing you can do to socialize your dog. Our husky GSD pup started at 16 weeks old here, is now 6 months old and I believe is an all-star around other dogs because of socialization and training at Rover. Shelbi and her staff are amazing at making sure our community is full of friendly socialized dogs and we can't explain how thankful we are for Send Rover on Over! read more

I had to chase Shelbi down to get an assessment for doggy daycare, I've asked multiple times - and honestly I never had a chance to book with them. She answered all my questions during the assessment/in take. Staff all seemed very nice! We would have loved to get my pup in. :( I asked I think 3x for price packaging on doggy daycare with a promise to provide, but I still don't know how much daycare packages are. Im also surprised that no other staff member were able to provide this information; it was all vectored through Shelbi, and texting her directly. Initially, I was more understanding about the delay in response, but this has been on going for over a month. We had a tentative schedule for a complimentary half day, Shelbi said she'd "let the staff know", but there was no followup? At this point, I'm taking it Shelbi doesn't want my business. Wish it would have worked out, but this was disappointing and sad. I hope to try again one day and revise the review, seems like a really good place to take your pup. read more

I highly recommend Send Rover On Over. During any last minute plans, they've always been very flexible and understanding. My Harley girl also loves going there and playing with her friends! read more

I recommend boarding your pup here! We've been using Send Rover for the past three years or so since moving to Santa Barbara, and it's been an incredible experience. At first, we chose this place because it was affordable and worth the drive--but it quickly became clear that it was much more than that. Our White German Shepherd, Barley, is very expressive, and it was obvious she loved it here. Every time we dropped her off, she was extremely excited which gave us real peace of mind. The staff has always been friendly, professional, and clearly cared about Barley's well-being. Sadly, our pup tore her ACL and won't be in daycare for a long time but wanted to take a moment to write this review since they were so great with her. Highly recommend Send Rover On Over for anyone looking for reliable, loving boarding for their dog! read more

Send Rover on Over has been taking amazing care of my Harley girl for years. She has been going here for a few days a week since she was 12 weeks old (she'll be 4 on April 4th) and never once have I had to stress while knowing she's in the care of Rover's caring staff. I recommend this place to all my friends and family with fur babies. read more

We tried this facility when our five year old dog was a puppy, and when we arrived to pick up our puppy the second day we paid for service, no one was at the facility to open the door even though we rushed to make it back in time for pick up according to the time we were told and confirmed. The dogs were left abandoned. Our puppy lost a dew claw from the enclosure she was in and was bleeding while we waited and waited for someone to arrive (close to an hour). The worker arrived and we picked up our bleeding dog. The owner called us when we expressed sadness about the injury and said, "we can no longer take care of your dog. Find another facility." This place leaves the dogs alone and anything could happen. read more

The owners and staff were exceptionally good my girl. She was calm and passed her evaluation. I feel comfortable leaving her on my vacation. She is a rescue dog and has come along way with socializing and trusting people and other dogs. read more

We love the vibe here! We have a super active 2 year old dog and she loves Rover!!!! The space is roomy, clean and homey. it's not crazy loud like other daycares and the staff is really nice. Super reasonably priced and really lovely! Our dog hates leaving Rover! lol. So glad we found this place! read more

This place may not be the fanciest but they love the dogs. I left our English Bulldog for 10 1/2 days she was 8 months old. She loved it there. They took great care of her I didn't even have to retrain her. Bonus they give a discount on long stays like mine when not one other place offers that. That is a great incentive but they truly love the dogs. read more

We just started to bring our little guy to SROO, cannot say enough good things about the staff and facility!! From the moment "Buster" arrived he was so happy and has enjoyed playing and having fun!! The staff is loving and caring and provide a great report upon pick-up. Facility is fully COVID 19 compliant, with outside drop-off and frequent cleaning through out the day and evening. Pricing is reasonable and actually better then what you may be paying now with dog-walkers, or other doggy day cares. I drop my little boy off, reassured he is going to have a fun day in a safe, loving environment. read more

We love "Send Rover On Over". Sparky knows when we turn down Palma where he's going and he starts yelping and is all excited. Gigi enjoys her time there just as much. I like the idea that they can sleep uncaged together when we board them and I'm sure they do too. read more

Go somewhere else, The staff that's not showed up for early drop off on three occasions which resulted in us being late to work. It doesn't surprise me that they don't show up. Don't use this service if you need to be at work on time. I've seen the staff drive up half asleep because they oversleep their alarms. We're tired of their unreliability read more

I was nervous about having my puppy's temperament assessed a few months ago to see if she would do well with coming here but I knew I wanted her to stay overnight at a place that treated her like a family member and not just stuck in a cold kennel. I loved this place and the staff is amazing at the Ventura location. I bring my spoiled girl in twice a week if possible for full day sessions to help get her energy out of her and to play, play, play. She is always happy to be there and of coarse happy to me as well with plenty of kisses when I pick her up. I could keep going..... Oh, I like that I can text with them for updates and ask for pictures as well. This helped me feel more comfortable the first few times and while she stayed overnight while I was out of town. read more

Wonderful staff, very caring and loving to all of the dogs. What I like is the personalized service and that the owner communicates really well. After all, for most of us who are dog parents, these are truly our babies and not "just dogs." This is the only 24 hour-staffed facility in Ventura County. Did you know that many dogs are boarded in facilities where there is not a human being on site for some or many hours of the day? Not here! They are at the ready to assist, pet, feed, play, love your dog. There are, however, hours of operation...so keep that in mind as you need to adhere to specific pick-up and drop-off hours, to be expected. My dogs always run to the day care playroom door from the car and do not look back. And they sleep really well that night! I don't know what I would do without Send Rover on Over. read more

I really wanted to like this place but it's really hard when the last time you heard from the dog trainer was almost 4 weeks ago and kind of left us hanging. We were looking for dog trainers for our growing 16 week puppy French Bulldog and came across this place on Yelp. I was really impressed with the reviews and we decided to go with them. We decided to enroll our Frenchie in their Puppy Kindergarten Classes which costs I believe $130-$140. At first thought when we stepped into their facility was the smell. It was a very strong smell of dog fur, pee, etc. It didn't smell too bad after you got used to it, but it was definetly not what I was expecting. Secondly, the facility floors where the dogs play looked super worn down, and gates and fences were rusty looking. THe trainer Shelbi assured us that they were going through some renovations of sort, it didn't faze me to much but didn't look to pleasing when your bringing your puppy in. Overall, I thought the training classes were OK. I didn't feel we got our money's worth for paying $140, and felt we could'vr teceived the same training from a Petco or Petsmart. A few of the classes were cut short to just 30 minutes and and not the full 1 hour length, and it was usually only us during th classes and no other puppies he could be socializing with. Although my experience with the training wasn't too postive, I would still consider brining my dog in, now almost 7 months for daycare or long term boarding. Shelbi and staff were super duper friendly though, and I can tell they really cared for all the dogs they took care of in their facility. read more

I love taking my dog here. They know him the moment they see him and he is always so excited to go. When I pick him up at the end of the day he is super tired from playing! Love this place. read more

Send Rover On Over - Pet Training Near Me - Ventura, California

My dog loves going here and I know that the staff really cares about him!

Send Rover on Over is great! They have sleep over parties! Big dog and little dog sections. Fun toys that stimulate my crazy dog to focus. An amazing groomer. And a cool retail section. They've been in Ventura for about ten years now and just get better with time. Valeri is a high energy lady who really gets dogs and realizes how important they are in our lives. She's one of the best trainers in the region and offers tons of different classes. The dogs really love it here. The daycare attendants are really loving but also make sure all the dogs are safe and under constant supervision. They're like my dog's aunties. The greatness of Send Rover on Over can be seen through the people who started bringing their dogs here when they were puppies, and are still doing so years later! The application process might seem cumbersome (proof of vaccines/ spay/ neuter, application about the dog, assessment), but it's proven to ensure that the daycare is a safe place for dogs to not have to worry about separation anxiety or restlessness. Keep it up, Send Rover on Over! Dogs love you! read more

Send Rover on Over is the best! The people are all so warm and friendly and my three dogs just love going there. You know everything is ok when they run in wagging their tails and don't look back! Can't recommend this place highly enough, and George, Bailey, and Austen think so too! read more

I highly recommend this place super friendly staff and knowledgeable. The dog trainer Karla is amazing hands-down super friendlyand gives you a ton of advice about your dog anytime you need it so I highly recommend having your dog trained with her because she was super knowledgeable about your pet. So thank you Carla and thank you send rover on over read more

I wrote the review 2 years ago and just got a response. My dog is very happy and social at his current daycare.

Mabel loves this place. She's so tired when I get her home she sleeps though out the night and is so much better with other dogs. I personally love this place. Lauren read more

I took my mothers snoodle there and they gave him the worst haircut ever!! I had explained to them my mother likes him to have a snauzer cut. To keep it long on the face and the skirt around him. He had a few tangles on his legs and though I wanted that on the longer side I understood if that needed to be cut shorter.When I picked him up he looked like a big rat. They shaved him all over and even the face.The cut was uneven and they used the lowest setting. If there was an issue they should have called me first to ask if it was okay to shave him. My mother was in tears! I would not recommend anyone to go there and I will not be returning as a customer! read more

I tried a doggie daycare while visiting San Francisco and was very disappointed. It smelled like urine, it was loud and hectic. My poor dog was terrified! I thought they were all the same. I decided doggy daycare was not for us. Fast forward a couple months at home in Ventura. Our house was right in the path of the Thomas fire. We had to evacuate at 2:30am. We were heading to a family members house and taking our lab was not an opinion because of their big dogs who have never met her. This was not the time for a meet and greet. I saw a post on Facebook that Send Rover on Over would take dogs who were evacuated. I was so nervous because of our last experience but feeling like I had no choice I texted the owner at 2:30am! she responded within minutes. We drove our lab to the Ventura location. The facility was calm and clean. It actually smelled nice! My normally timid girl was calm and went right with the staff. They assured me they would take good care of her. When I picked her up the next day she was happy and even stopped to get last minute love from the staff. I was so pleased with the environment I plan on signing her up for regular visits. read more

My dog was seriously injured due to inappropriate care and supervision by the Send Rover On Over staff . My small (14 Lb) dog and a larger (55 plus Lb ) dog were left unsupervised during a sleep over. I had used Send Rover On Over for 3 plus years prior to the incident. My dog was left unattended with other dogs. Another dog jumped on my dog and caused a serious neck injury. I was very thankful that the staff took my dog to get emergency medical/Vet care due to the extreme pain he was in. Send Rover on Over never checked on the welfare of my dog after the incident. It took my dog 3-4 weeks on heavy sedatives, muscle relaxers, anti-inflammatories and pain meds to heal. He still has some minor neck issues due to the incident. I would caution anyone that has a small dog or fragile animal to think twice about using Send Rover On Over in Ventura. I was also very disheartened by the lack of costumer services and compassion that the owner and staff showed my family after the incident. No one from Send Rover On Over contacted us of even sending a text to check on the wellbeing of my dog that was a regular at day care and overnight sleep overs. Also, I was never reimbursed by the additional medical care my dog needed. I will never use Send Rover On Over again. read more

This place is disgusting. We will never bring our dog back there again. We brought our dog there as a puppy and we were never happy. The owner has an attitude, she is more interested in her dog training then the dog day care. I own a retail business and their customer service sucks. There are so many rules on how and when you drop your dog off. We only went there because it was the only day care in town at the time. Karla was great, she did the puppy play. (that was the only reason we went back) Beware of this place, it is not clean or updated. If you don't believe me go find out for yourself. read more

This review is a long time coming. My very lively, sometimes difficult, highly intelligent, easily bored Shiba Inu puppy absolutely loves this place. He is so happy to go here, and so happy when we pick him up, every single time. The wonderful staff engage all of the dogs, working to make sure they are all happy and safe and paired up with the right play buddies according to personality, energy, size, strength, and other factors. They are knowledgeable and really seem to care about our Ronin, letting us know how he did each day, and working with him if he gets out of line. It was important to us that he socialize properly to other dogs and humans. Mission acomplished. The training is also excellent. Val has a broad knowledge of all sorts of training and the different challenges you can have with different breeds, and so is very good with all kinds of dogs, and you can tell she loves what she does. Ronin was tiny when he went to good citizen school, but he learned everything, with Val working with each dog and owner individually and as a group. He passed his test with flying colors at only 6 months old! Ronin goes to other daycares when he visits the L.A. area, and they are fine, but this is the place he really loves, and where he is happiest. I would give them 6 out of 5 stars if I could. We highly recommend you and your dog try Send Rover On Over. Tell them Ronin sent you. read more

We have been doing the training with Taylor and love it! We also go to puppy play and it has been so beneficial to our crazy pup!! We love it there and will be back for more training after puppy kindergarten. read more

Christine was so nice! My doggie, who is more like my child, had a flea issue. They took her right away and were done in about an hour. Very friendly service, affordable, and they did a great job. When I went back to get my pooch her tail was wagging and I could tell she loved her groomer. I will definitely be back. read more

Surprisingly unprofessional service. Plus, why am I not allowed to pick up my dog between 12-2 pm? Seems sketchy. I'd rather leave my dog somewhere where I can pick them up whenever I need to and I trust the staff. read more

I love Send Rover on Over, but more importantly, my dog loves them. I feel so good dropping her off there, knowing how happy she is, whether it is for boarding or day care. Everyone who works there seems like they really love dogs, and they always remember me, too, which is nice. I used to use a pet sitter when I traveled, but then your dog only gets maybe 20 minutes a day of people time. At Send Rover on Over, they play all day, so they are worn out to get good sleep. Valeri loves dogs and it shows. She has definite opinions about dog training, leashes, collars, etc., but it's backed up by evidence, so I trust her judgment. My dog and I have taken a training class, which is based on only positive reinforcement, and it has made my dog and I have a much closer bond. read more

I have been above and beyond happy with the services received here for our dog. The staff is incredibly friendly and genuinely wants the best for us and our dog. They are welcoming, friendly, incredibly sincere and you can tell they all love their job. The free puppy play is great. Carla has helped us so much with all of her techniques and educating us on how to provide our puppy with the best socialization and various training techniques. Her interactions with the dogs and owners are really impressive. We have been taking classes with Carla as well and our dog has learned so much and we have learned so much as well. The doggie daycare is so great. Our boy always has a great time and loves going to hang out with his people and dog friends. Definitely recommend Send Rover on Over and their services. So happy we found them! read more

Place is filthy and they crate your dog far more than is necessary. It's not as fun for your dog as you think.

These guys are great. The only free puppy play time I was able to find. My Great Dane is now 2 1/2 but from 3 months to 6 months he was very well socialized with all sizes of dogs. The staff was very knowledgeable and helped with many of my questions. I am very excited to start some more classes here in the future. read more

My dog, Dodger, would give Send Rover on Over two thumbs up, if he had thumbs! He definitely gives them 5 wags (as good as it gets!). He loves the gals who work there and comes home happy and TIRED! read more

My dog and I both love Val and her team. I've used both occasional daycare and their overnight boarding and I know Jeremy has a great time with his other mommies because when I pick him up he's happy but not anxious. They keep a close eye on him and give every dog really special attention to cater to their needs. Highly recommended service! read more

I've been taking my fur babies to Send Rover on Over for several years. I can't express enough how much I love them!! Both of my dogs get so excited and know all of the turns my car makes to get there. They start pacing and whining to get out about 1 mile away. When I open the car door to take them out they both rush trying to push the other out of the way as to say "me first"! The staff is amazingly loving and greet us with smiles and enthusiasm. You know they all just love these dogs. The owner Val is an expert in all things doggie related. She is a masterful trainer and truly loves all fur babies like they are her own. I never have to worry when I leave them in her hands. read more

We've always had good luck with them! The dogs LOVE spending the night and day care and they are always worn out when they come home. I like that they offer baths as well. A little expensive, but hopefully when established more, price will come down. read more

My dog LOVES it here. He jumps out of the car and runs to the back without even a thought. They are very caring about the animals and I know my dog is in good hands. They even give the dogs a nap time so they can all have a snack and relax for a few hours before they go back to playing again. They open early enough for me to drop my dog off before work and they even accommodate special pickup/ drop off times. My favorite part is dropping my dog off when I go on a trip, then having them bathe him before I pick him up. It makes life wonderful! I pickup a clean dog and I have nothing to worry about. read more

First impressions are everything. This place failed to meet any expectations I had. I called in and *SCHEDULED* an assessment for my 5 mo GSD, and the person doing the evaluation no showed - she didn't even give us a courtesy call to let us know she would be able to make it. Such a waste of my time. Took my pup elsewhere. And by the looks of the facility, it smelt, was dirty and overall seems like they don't care about their business. Definitely not a place I trust leaving my fur baby with. read more
