Step over dogs, say (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pets

'dogs say' is the definition.

'step over' is the wordplay.
'over' is a reversal indicator.
'step' reversed gives 'PETS'.

(Other definitions for pets that I've seen before include "Domestic animals" , "Domesticated animals" , "Little darlings - step on them" , "Animals at home" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
