What Reviews Say

700 reviews analyzed

Ruff 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)

β€œI 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 play”

Dogs contracting illnesses (pneumonia, kennel cough) with no owner notification

β€œDelta was diagnosed with pneumonia... We were not informed or given a phone call about Delta... We are all around extremely disappointed and concerned”

Injuries to dogs during stays (cuts, wounds, paw injuries)

β€œI 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 dog”

Camera systems not working or inaccessible

β€œThe 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 work”

Dogs left in urine/filthy conditions

β€œOur husky is white and black and on the white parts of her, its yellow. They had our dog sitting in her own urine for who knows how long”

Unauthorized grooming or services performed without consent

β€œshe had been given a bath without my prior consentβ€”despite only being scheduled for boarding, daycare, and a brush out”

Suspected unauthorized medication administration

β€œI feel like he was given something to calm him down without my permission”

Dogs not getting promised playtime/socialization despite paying for it(12 mentions)

β€œWe were told she was to nervous to be in a group. This is not what we thought we were paying for”

Camera access issues or cameras not working(8 mentions)

β€œI couldn't find him anywhere so I called up there and they said which room he was in... when we hung up and I viewed him where they said he was, he was all of a sudden there”

Poor communication about dog care/incidents(10 mentions)

β€œThroughout our text exchange, there was no clear explanation or proposed solution regarding the incident”

Grooming quality issues (bad cuts, uneven, not as requested)(8 mentions)

β€œThe hair cut was horrific... I was issued a full refund. I appreciate the refund however that doesn't compensate for how awful my dog looks”

Dogs coming home dirty/smelling of urine(6 mentions)

β€œHe smells so bad and his hair is yellow from the pee... When I took him there, he was clean”

Staff rudeness/unprofessionalism(5 mentions)

β€œAngelica at the front desk was very rude and condescending”
