Rover’s Stay and Play

Love this place! Wendy is the bee’s knees. Our dogs Oscar and Ninja love going to «camp» (aka being kenneled) at Rover Retreat. They get lots of play time with friends and it’s super affordable compared to other places in town. When they found out we were expecting, they let us know that we were welcome to drop off the dogs as soon as I was in labor… and, so we did! Not only were they able to take our two in on short notice, but they even gave them a complimentary bath before we picked them up!

My dog just had her leg amputated because of this place. Thanks a lot.
Back in March, we decided to board our two dogs (Daisy and Pickles) at this location while our family was on vacation. We were hesitant because Daisy is very shy and weary of people she doesn’t know, but had few other options. We took the dogs for a trial afternoon as recommended, and were assured they would be fine.
When we dropped off the two dogs we explicitly told the woman that Daisy has been known to jump, but had never jumped a six foot fence as long as we have had her. The woman completely brushed off our comments, and assured us Daisy would be fine.
So what happens? Daisy ends up escaping from Rover Retreat, and they half-​heartedly search for her to no avail. Daisy was finally found a couple days later by animal control, but by then had managed to get caught up in a fence and break her leg. It is now June and Daisy just had to have her leg amputated all because of Rover Retreat’s incompetence.
They claim this whole incident was not they’re fault, but I fail to see how that could possibly be the case. Their one job was to take care of my dog while I was away. That’s it. And in order to take care of a dog one needs to maintain possession of said dog, and you know NOT lose it. The bills for Daisy’s treatment have been extensive to say the least. Daisy will be okay, but this did not have to happen to her. It is so grossly unfair. I love this dog more than anything in the world, and she has undergone so much unnecessary pain and suffering because of Rover Retreat. Oh and not to mention, after losing Daisy they still charged us for Pickles. Nice.

After trying out several other dog boarding places, we have finally found what we are looking for at rovers retreat. The staff is always very friendly and helpful and seems to genuinely care for and love dogs. One of my dogs is a picky eater and doesn’t eat much when we are away, so the staff put some chicken broth on her food to encourage her to eat, which I thought was exceptionally caring and attentive. The staff always seems excited to see our dogs, remembers me when I call, and even notices when the dogs have had a haircut. Another thing I like about rovers retreat is that there is a large outdoor area and the door is open all day so that the dogs can nap in their crates, play with other dogs, or run around outside as they please. I definitely recommend rovers retreat!

When I moved to Denver it was hard to find a place to board my dog. Rover Retreat has been very dependable and I completely trust them with my best friend. When I pick my dog up she is always tired from playing and I know she has had a great time.
If you are planning on boarding for a holiday make sure to reserve your spot as early in advance as possible.

We recently started coming to Rover Retreat after going to a different daycare for 2 months. Charlie absolutely loves it and comes home exhausted! I have peace of mind while I’m working that he’s safe and happy. I couldn’t ask for anything better!

Fantastic place.
I have a 4y old rescue dog, Cassie, who is fairly high energy, but cannot take her to the dog park because she is protective of me.
Usually in the evenings — even after a couple mile run — she is bounding around the house wanting someone to play with. I brought her to Rover Retreat Doggy Daycare for a half day (5 hours), and she has been peaceful on the couch for 24 hours.
Even better, she seems to be a little less protective of me: when picking her up after her first day, she was sniffing the other dogs in the lobby while i was there, instead of staying by my side and growling at them.
They also have flexible packages — I bought a 10-​pack, which can be used for 20 half days, 10 full days, or a mix. Prices are totally worth a tired, well-​socialized dog — $ 11 for half day, $ 22 for whole day.
Can’t wait for her to go back!

I’ve been taking my pup here for 7 years. They are reliable, friendly and Milo always gets excited when we pull up. They truly care for the dogs and I know he’s in good hands when I leave.

Love this place! The ladies who run it clearly love animals. The indoor/​outdoor space is nice and spacious, plenty of room for dogs to enjoy. Whenever I drop my dogs off, they gladly run through the door and are so happy and exhausted when I pick them up.

I have been taking my mastiff to Rover Retreat in Wheat Ridge for almost 4 years now — both for doggy daycare and boarding.
After moving to south Denver a couple years ago, I have tried out a few different doggy daycares closer to my location, and although I never had a horrible experience, there is just no place that compares to Rover Retreat and Wendy & Laura. You can see it in my dog’s face, or hear it in the way he whines when we pull into the parking lot — so excited to go inside and play. So when the time comes, I don’t mind the 30 – 40 minute trek each way, because I know while he is there he is well taken care of, happy, running his hyper little butt off with other friendly dogs, and most importantly is safe. I wouldn’t trust him with anyone else!

Rover Retreat may not have the most impressive web site on the internet, but who cares? Dogs don’t look at the internet! The staff at the Wheat Ridge location were extremely kind and helpful, and welcomed our two dogs with no advance notice just two days before Christmas. Our Min Pins had a great time and came home exhausted and happy. They fell asleep in the car on the way out of the parking lot! And the price was extremely reasonable! We’re glad we found them and will be back next time we’re in Denver.

We love Rover Retreat. Izzy is always excited when I take her here and is absolutely exhausted when I pick her up. She plays all day, is treated well and loves the staff. The facility is well maintained, the dogs have plenty of space and you can definitely tell that the staff loves what they are doing.

Rover Retreat is the only place that I truly feel comfortable boarding my dog. The staff is very friendly and it’s family operated. This is important because you don’t get some loser employee doing a bad job because he doesn’t really care about the success of the business. The people working there have some «skin in the game» and are driven to retain their customer’s business.
My dog loves it, he is always worn out and happy when we go to drop him off. I would recommend Rover Retreat to anyone looking for a dog boarding facility.
