Testimonials

On 2/9/2026 Margaret Schlechty had this to say:
We have tried other boarding places but The Ruff House is our favorite. Our dog likes the play with the other dogs as well as his alone time. They send the cutest report cards home every day to be able to see what friends he has made and how he is doing. They are organized and on top of all the needed vaccines and tests. Very professional and well run. I got a tour before we decided to go with them which none of the other places offered and it was wonderful to see how clean they keep everything and they were not unwilling to show me behind the scenes. So grateful to have found this place.

We love The Ruff House! Our dog always looks happy in the photos we get in our report card and I really appreciate the option to add on services like private play or private dog walks when she’s there for a longer stay. Grateful to have a safe home away from home for our little girl!

Fantastic!

On 9/7/2025 Robert Nehmer had this to say:
We have tried several different options for care for our four legged family members while traveling. The Ruff House stands head and shoulders above the rest! The way they care for our babies is obvious to us when we come and pick them up. It’s obvious to us when we see the pictures of them interacting with the other dogs. It’s obvious to us that they love what they do at The Ruff House because they take such good care of our babies. This last trip was almost 2 weeks and we never worried once about our dogs. I recommend them without hesitation!
