They are growing fast! Ruaridth is the best mom. She’s figured out how to come in behind them and wiggle them forward with her body so she doesn’t hurt any of them. It’s pretty cool to watch. I’ve never seen any of my girls do that before!
The puppies are the best! So cute! 🥰

Ruaridth is the proud mama of 10 beautiful babies. They arrived between late night April 12 and early morning April 14.
I decided to chose April 14th as their birthday!
She and her pups are doing amazing! Ruaridth is definitely the best mother to her pups that I have ever had! ❤️

Hank was a regular here at Roaming Rovers. A part of the pack.
He had his unique personality. Leaping off our office desk one day and over the fence was his way of saying he wanted to join our off leash hikes.
With a bit of training sure enough he was awesome for us on the hikes. He loved it.

Hank you will be missed, you touched our souls.
Our hearts go out to his family who are devastated right now.
😢😢💔🐾🐕‍🦺
Run free on rainbow bridge my friend ❤️

She’s home!! So happy for you Emma Warr! ❤️❤️❤️

I am feeling very frustrated at the moment.

I breed because of my love of Golden Retrievers.
So after signing these contracts posted below people wanting to back out of their contracts ,which is fine, and wanting their deposits back.
Breeders have non-refundable deposits because we need to know we have owners for our pups.
While we had a false pregnancy my contract addresses that.
I do not make money despite what people think of the prices.
Tonight someone threatened to spread the “word” because I said I would not be refunding her deposit.
Please read your contract before you sign and if you want well bred dogs from breeders that do all their testing, love their dogs in their home and refuse to breed a dog just because they can, understand that we do this because we love the breed and want you to have healthy pups. We want good homes with people who are committed to their pup, and understand that not all planned litters happen.

Thank you for those of you who do understand and love our breed.

I’m sad writing this today. Orla and I went to the vet this morning. Unfortunately she was experiencing a false pregnancy and is not pregnant.
We will try again our next heats. So no Spring puppies unfortunately.

She is fine and healthy. She will have to lose a few lbs but otherwise she’s okay.

Our Story

In 2004 a neighbour asked me to take care of their dog. It was fun and a few people heard about that and started asking me to care for theirs. By 2005 it was getting busy and I founded Roaming Rovers in July 2005. Over the years we learned a lot and grew. We have experience with all breeds and behaviours. Servicing over 3500 dog clients. (No not at once!!) We have always hiked off leash. I feel teaching dogs good recall creates safety, and when they run together they bond. We also enjoy nature together.

Covid-19 update: We are excited to be back with a few changes that we believe will make us better than ever. Our hours are more limited now covering our most demanding times. Covid-19 has effected business and now we are limiting daycare two days per week, so we can still provide these services to our clients. Boarding will continue everyday but by appointments only at this time. We had to reduce staffing hours because people are simply not travelling as frequently, if at all. Many people, if travelling, are able to take their pets with them so we are simply not as busy right now.

We will continue to cater to all dogs needs. Dogs who are not good with other dogs can stay in our enclosed runs in the air conditioned and heated garage with a 13 x 20 fenced in turfed run off of it.

Our main boarding area is also air conditioned and heated. We are very unique and have a set up that allows us to provide different care for different needs. Open concept in dog daycares shows lots of space but requires dogs to be able to handle that at all times. Instead we have chosen to section our areas. Our Rec room has couches, a wood stove and dog beds where dogs can lounge and cuddle with staff and they can sleep loose at night. Our larger area has room to play and crates for dogs who need to sleep in them at night. We have an office area with a couch where we greet people during drop off and pickup times and it duels as a sleeping loose area at night and when we are closed. We have a puppy room that when we aren't having puppy's we put dog beds in and a few dogs can sleep there together. Our garage is used for dogs who need to be separated from other dogs and dogs who bark a lot and makes sleeping difficult for us people and dogs boarding.
