What Reviews Say
700 reviews analyzedRuff Housing Greensboro presents a classic case of a generally well-regarded facility with significant operational issues affecting a subset of customers. While the majority of reviews (approximately 75%) are highly positive, praising friendly staff, clean facilities, and happy dogs, there are serious recurring complaints about dogs not receiving paid-for services (particularly playtime), camera accessibility problems, communication failures around injuries and illnesses, and grooming quality inconsistencies. The facility appears to have changed ownership at least once, which may explain some service quality fluctuations. Safety concerns emerge in multiple reviews describing dogs being injured, contracting illnesses, or being left in unsanitary conditions. Despite these issues, many customers are loyal repeat visitors who appreciate the staff's genuine love for dogs and the enrichment programs offered.

Worth noting
Dogs not receiving paid-for playtime/daycare (locked in rooms/crates for 22 hours/day)
βI paid for a room with a camera as well as an all day play package, $59 per day. On the second day I noticed my dog was in her room every single time I checked on her... my dog was locked in her room 22 hours a day when I paid for all day playβ
Dogs contracting illnesses (pneumonia, kennel cough) with no owner notification
βDelta was diagnosed with pneumonia... We were not informed or given a phone call about Delta... We are all around extremely disappointed and concernedβ
Injuries to dogs during stays (cuts, wounds, paw injuries)
βI picked up my dog to find him covered in pee... I noticed a wound on his back leg as if he were attacked by another dogβ
Camera systems not working or inaccessible
βThe cameras in the rooms 'don't work' and that is part of why I paid for that service, they didn't bother to tell me the cameras didn't workβ
