| - Why do I love Sleep Rover so much? Because not only are they wonderful in every way, but there is nothing better than a dead dog on a Wednesday night after a long day of work among many many many other reasons.
Sleep Rover offers day care and sleep rovers, both of which we have used. Before we brought our dogs there for the first time, I went in and asked for a tour. I have been to other facilities in town who don't seem as open to this. The friendly girls at Sleep Rover answered all of my questions. One of my most important ones was if there is anyone there overnight. And there is! You may think this would always be the case, but it's not at other places in town. For me, I want the security of knowing there are people around my lemon dog, and not just a security guard watching on a cctv from another location (another place in Calgary).
At Sleep Rover they have the hound lounge - filled with couches, doggy beds, and a tv, making it just like home. This is where our dog get's the most of his play-time though. Big dogs have their own area, with a big jungle-gym type thing for them to run, climb, and play on. Small dogs have a miniature version. All dogs rotate outside where there's the huge gravel pit, more ramps and things to climb, or where they can soak up the sun. In the summer they have pool days just like we have at home. Overall a very interactive daycare area compared to others in town.
Rover's birthday? Let them know. They get a "Birthday Pawrty" with cupcake during the day, and a card to go home with. - See pics!
At the end of the day we get cute little cards saying what our boys did that day. Need to update their vaccination records? Sleep Rover puts a sticker on there to remind you. What do you do with those cards afterwards? Cut out the 'V.I.D.' pass and put it in the raffle box next time you're there to win great prizes.
Need some food? They sell good quality brands. Anyone who knows me knows I am extremely careful about what we feed our dogs. They stay up to date on the products they sell and always keep customers posted. Need anything else? I mean ANYTHING... grooming? dog bed? collar? tag? lumberjack vest? frozen yogurt for your pooch? poop bags? Get it here. I think I spend more money on stuff for our dogs than I do myself. I think my cheapest bill here was $100. That has nothing to do with the prices, it's just that they carry cute, fun, awesome, different things that you don't find anywhere else (and I am a bit of an impulse shopper).
What is the best part about the next day? I'm not sure if it's the still tired dog, or if it's scrolling through the hundreds of photos they post on facebook. Yes, every day they take hundreds of pics and post them late at night so you can see what your dog was up to all day.
Prices are the best we have found in town for 2 dogs. You also get a discount if you are part of the I HEART MY PET rewards program that you get from the city.
WE LOVE SLEEP ROVER!
