Both of my dogs go for daycare and both have been through training with Armando, and have done great. I was especially surprised with how well he was able to work with my youngest who is blind. Great staff and the pups are excited when I say, get ready for school in the morning!! More...

Armondo and his team are the best. I've looked and looked for a training facility / day care that delivers like this one. We brought our 5 month old Doberman and have seen so much success . He is 7 months old and sits for extended periods. Lays when asked the first time. Not to mention he is 100% leash trained. My dogs never look back when we have to leave them because Armando loves them all just as we would. More...

*Highly recommend Rompin' Rovers!!!! My son's girlfriend rescued a Papillon 2 years ago, but when they moved in together, he started acting aggressively every time my son would approach her, being an extremely possessive and territorial little guy. Since I live alone, I thought it would be a good idea to bring him home with me. Since then, twice I've had male workers come in for different reasons and he charged at their private areas. And he charged at one of my neighbors (male) when visiting. See the pattern? He also demonstrated a bit of aggressiveness towards other dogs in the building. All this probably to history prior being rescued. I started looking for places nearby that offered dog training, even though he was well trained, maybe there was an underlying trauma that might be corrected with training. Finally found a place, called and Armando, the owner and dog trainer, offered to do a free evaluation. That free evaluation was around 2 hrs long! FREE! That was 5 training sessions ago, and he is doing so much better. I did not expect for it to be a quick fix. As Armando mentioned we had to go back to basic training in order to tackle his aggressiveness. I have been leaving him for training sessions and doggie daycare and I could not be more pleased. When I pick him up he's so happy and so tired and the same time. Armando, Emily and Chris and very welcoming and helpful, as well as very caring. You can tell they are dog lovers! The fees are straight forward. Daycare pricing is very competitive. I want to be brutally honest, at the beginning I thought the training fee was a bit high, but I was desperate. Just a few weeks into his training, after seeing the improvement in such a short time, and how much Armando cares and all the extra time he puts in, totally worth it. He takes time out of his busy schedule to give you an update. And when you pick your fur baby up, he shows you what he worked on that day plus trains with you, so you can follow this at home. The place is extremely clean considering the fact there are so many dogs there. As I said before, I highly recommend this place. I have worked in different fields of customer service for many years, and having said that, I don't recommend places lightly. They work with your baby, with you, to make sure you get what you paid for. Not only is the customer service outstanding, the way they care for your baby, it does make this place perfect for you and your baby! More...

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! More...

Armando really takes his training seriously and genuinely love dogs! He attends world class training programs to master training techniques using dog psychology not brute force :)He especially lives the challenges of rescue dogs and pups The staff is caring and attentive and really seem to enjoy the animals and learning from Armando. My only complaint is the urine smell, some days worse than others, so my baby usually needs a bath before he can come in house. But I imagine that urine is hard to keep up with .. More...

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! More...

My dog is a bit anxious and takes time to warm up to new people, places and experiences. At Rompin' Rovers, she has done wonderfully and has completely blossomed due to their great care and attention towards her needs. All staff members are terrific and you can tell how much they love all their customers' pets. You feel like family here. I am so pleased with how professional they are, as well as how comfortable you are made to feel leaving your pet in their capable hands. They love my little baby and she loves them. I would strongly recommend using Rompin' Rovers as your pet will be given everything from great care and security, to training tips, and other helpful hints to make your pet's life easier. Thank you to the staff for giving Xyla such an amazing place to learn and grow in. I see her progress clearly, and I'm forever grateful. More...

We had very high hopes of Sampson being an Emotional Support Animal for PTSD. After trying to walk him and having him pretty much drag me down the sidewalk I knew I needed some intense professional help. After an evaluation, Sampson entered the doggy daycare and training program. The owner Armando Acosta assured me that he was very trainable. We noticed changes as soon as the 2nd day! Armando made sure that when I picked Sampson up he not only told me what they worked on but also showed me so that I could work with him at home. The whole Rompin Rovers team was wonderful to work with. They all took a part in training Sampson. He would get excited every time I dropped him off. Not only can I walk my dog but he knows all of his basic commands. Thank you so much Armando and the Rompin Rovers Team. The whole experience has been life changing and I think the pic proves it.

We brought Ella there so she could socialize and ended up doing the training. She no longer pulls you along, Armand worked a miracle!

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! More...

My aussie, Maddie, loves Rompin' Rovers! The staff here is great...friendly, knowledgeable about dogs and genuinely loves the dogs that go there. When I first visited them I had lots of questions...my dog is like my child and besides having fun, I wanted to make sure she was going to be in a safe environment. The owner and manager set my mind at ease and answered all of my questions. This is also one of the few indoor day camps I was able to find. I also like that it is a smaller place. Many day camp facilities take in LOTS of dogs and the atmosphere seems overwhelming. Here they keep the play groups on the smaller side, which is less stressful for the dogs I believe. Maddie has made many furry (and human) friends here! She knows when it's "day camp day" and is always excited to go to Rompin' Rovers! More...

I used to take my dog Jake here. I have since moved to another area of FL, but these people are awesome people. They take good care of your pet. Your pet gets to, well, romp and bark and play during the day. They even bathe dogs here if you set up an appointment in the morning. Jake is an old guy and his romping days are pretty much over, but he loved to go here. He used to bark with happiness when we would turn the corner off of Ulmerton Road to Lake Ave. He knew where he was going. One woman posted that the dogs are forced to eliminate themselves inside. This is not a meadow or a back yard. It is a building. Anytime that I was ever there, the place was well kept and cleaned. More...
