What Reviews Say

56 reviews analyzed

Ruff's Boarding and Doggy Daycare is highly regarded for its clean, spacious facility and the high energy level of the dogs upon return, with many owners noting their pets are 'exhausted' from play. While the daily photo updates are a major highlight for many, there are notable inconsistencies in administrative communication and booking response times. One serious report of an injury and conflicting explanations from management serves as a significant outlier in an otherwise overwhelmingly positive sentiment.

Worth noting

Injury and inconsistent reporting

β€œMy dog got bit, and she has changed her story several times about what happened... Now my dog has an infection in his face and eyes due to the bite.”

Communication and Booking(2 mentions)

β€œThe communication is awful. Last time we tried to book her in, it took a week because we weren’t getting responses until we sent a second or third text.”

Lack of formal check-in/office

β€œA little weird not having a counter or front office... Handing your pet over in the winter and running is a bit weird.”
