Why I Joined NVA: Rover Oaks Pet Resorts Houston and Katy, TX | Pet Resorts Steve Smith, President of Rover Oaks, decided to sell to NVA in 2016 for two reasons; he loved NVA’s dedication to providing all the resources available on how they would support the business, well as the friendly and respectable NVA team that supported him during the sale.
