Dog Boarding

Dogs must be at 16 weeks of age and/or have completed their series of distemper parvo vaccinations.

All dogs must be current on Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, and Bordatella (kennel cough) shots. Please note that the Bordatella vaccines are administered by your veterinarian only at your request (i.e. if you haven’t asked for it your dog probably hasn’t had it).

When boarding, please bring a supply of your dog’s food, in a closable container labeled with his/her name. It is important that their diet is not changed during their stay with us. You may also bring beds, blankets or favorite toys with to make their stay more comfortable. (Ruffin’ It will not be held responsible for items that are lost or destroyed.) If you chose not to, or forget, to bring your dogs food we will provide food or we will purchase for you, the food that your pet regularly eats (please note there will be an additional charge).  Also, please be aware that it is common for pets to have a change in appetite or no appetite, some dogs may experience lethargy, vomiting, and/or diareah before, during or after their stay.  This is normal and may be caused from a change in environment, nervousness, excersise or simply the change in routine.

If you must cancel, please do so within 48 hours prior to your reservation so that we may offer that time to others who need our services.

A Medication Waiver must be signed and dated before we can give your pet medication.  This form will provide us with the medication name, dosage and times to be administered.  All medication should be kept in its original packaging with your dogs name listed on the label.

Boarding Hours

Dogs can stay 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for an unlimited amount of time.

Drop-offs and pick-ups may be done Monday through Friday 7:00am to 6:00pm and

Saturday's 8:00am to 4:00pm.   We now offer a special arrangement pick-up on Sunday morning at 8:00 am & evenings at 9:00 pm only, no exceptions.  There is a $16 charge for the 9 pm service, or clients may use their full daycare punch card.   ($6 less than staying overnight)

Dogs not picked up by 6:00pm on weekdays or 4:00pm on Saturdays will be charged an additional nights stay, and will need to be picked up the following day. Dogs need to be picked up at the same time of day they were dropped off to avoid an additional daycare charge.
