What Reviews Say

14 reviews analyzed

Ruff House Dog Ranch receives overwhelmingly positive reviews from most clients, with high praise for owner Danielle's caring and attentive approach, dogs' happiness and excitement to return, and professional yet warm service. Many customers highlight repeat visits and strong trust in the facility. However, one critical 1-star review describes a serious safety incident involving a dog attack, injuries, infection, and perceived lack of transparency from the owner, which significantly impacts certain topic scores. Staff friendliness, dog happiness, and drop-off/pickup experiences are rated high, while safety and facility quality are moderate due to this single but severe complaint. Communication is generally responsive, though the negative review points out a failure in transparency. Owner responses are consistently warm and appreciative, with a delayed but unified response date.
