    I absolutely love this daycare! The staff is always friendly, caring, and professional. They treat my dog like family and make sure she feels safe and happy every single day. I really appreciate how clean the place is and how well they communicate with me about her activities and behavior. My dog gets so excited every time we arrive — that says it all! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy place for their pet. 🐾

    I've been bringing my pets here for about four years now. This place has always been amazing and I fully trust them with my babies. Usually my dogs are boarded together and unfortunately recently one of them passed away. I was going away on a planned vacation and was very worried about my other dog since they always had each other. Once I dropped Brix off, I let the front desk receptionist know that Brix may have a little anxiety or sadness due to being by himself and she completely understood. Throughout his stay (8 days) we received multiple updates and pictures. I want to give a very special thanks to Petience! She constantly sent updates, reassured me that he was okay and made sure to give him special one on one time. Not once did I worry about Brix as I knew he was in great hands. I'm a Licensed Veterinary Technician and I always recommend this establishment to clients seeking daycare and boarding. Thank you again Petience and Ruff House Stay & Play! -Brix and Bentley's mom

    Wonderful experiences!! My boy has some ptsd from life & I have never felt less than supported at RuffHouse… they work with his reactiveness towards other dogs & are so good to him. Each time I bring my boy, he happily trots in & “pibble smiles” & that says so much more than I ever could. I love adding the room service of frozen yogurt & play time to his stay. Thank you RuffHouse!
