First visit and had a nice easy check in. The dogs stayed for half a day and when I picked them up they both had big doggie smiles! Recommended Ruffin Inn highly and will visit again.

Great place for my dog to board. She loves it.

Fantastic people and facility!

Great staff and facility. Our Charlie bear loves his stays at the ruffin inn!

Our dog is 3 years old and has been going to the Ruffin Inn since she was a puppy. She loves going there for daycare and we know she is being taken care of.

The people who care for your Pets are absolutely wonderful, I took my puppy because has a lot of energy to burn. He needed this type of socializing where he could be around many different breeds. Dog Parks are good, but he needed more. I …

Great grooming experience for my dog! Everyone is very friendly and will definitely be returning for another appointment.

We really love Ruffin Inn! We have always left our dog with family when we needed a sitter and now don't have that option. We have found a wonderful place that cares well for our precious pet and they are great to work with, as well as …

Creating the booking was easy, drop off for a few days, and a nice bath and nail trim before coming home, allowed us a worry free vacation without our good boy

Will definitely bring our pup back in the future.

Our dogs love Ruffin Inn. It’s a 45min one-way drive for us, but we really feel that it’s worth our time because our dogs have so much fun and are so well cared for. We bring them in for boarding, and oftentimes just for daycare/playtime. …

We visited today, and am very impressed. It is a growing business because everyone loves the job they do. General Manager Thomas is particularly good with Dobermans, but all the dogs seemed so happy playing (with a worker supervising). …

We have been using Ruffin Inn for years and love them for our dog boarding!

They take pictures everyday and post them to social media so you can see how they are doing. You can really tell that they love their job just by some of the …

First time leaving my dogs for boarding. It was comforting seeing my pups online throughout their stay. When I picked them up I was surprised to see my tough dog was completely comfortable with staff! Our pups will definitely be back 🙂 …

Always good to know the dogs are playing and having fun all day. Its fun to see the pictures on Facebook. Thanks for the great job that you do!

Ruffin Inn is so amazing with our dog. They are so understanding of his health condition and take great care of him when we are gone. Highly recommend for any pet! A fun stay for your furry family member when they are away from home!

So far i haven't been disappointed, they do an amazing job with my goldendoodle. Reasonable price and treats my dog very well.

Ruby had a good time. She was photographed many times so I knew she was having fun and well cared for. We picked up a freshly bathed happy dog after a two night stay!🥰

Love Ruffin’Inn as they take such good care of my Gambino! He has to be kept separate from other dogs so when we board him they give him one on one attention. I can rest easy when he is in their care.

The staff is so caring and knowledgeable! We have a reactive greyhound and it was our first time boarding her. The staff knew exactly how to handle a dog like her and love her too. We will definitely bring her back!

Great clean environment my dog had a blast and loved spending time there.

I cannot say enough great things about Ruffin Inn! I have been boarding my dog (Toby) here for years and he absolutely loves it! He has a history of being dog reactive and the staff has worked miracles with him! My dog absolutely loves it …

Emerson (our dog) loves going to Ruffin Inn.

I know all the people there treat him so well because of how excited he gets, and how much he loves them! He gets in a lot of play time, as well as lots of pets and hugs. The staff are very …

Ruffin inn is only place I will take my dog! The workers are always so kind and I feel comfortable leaving my dog with them. Axle comes home exhausted everytime he goes 🙂 as a dog mom I love it. They take pictures and post them on Facebook…

We sent our old dog (14 ½ years old) to the resort multiple times, and he had the time of his life. Our dog was smiling in every photo they posted online. It felt so nice to know our pup was in great hands, and was loving his time! Justin’s…

Absolutely Fabulous! They care for my dog as if it was their own. Justin does a great job posting pictures and videos, so you can see how your dog is doing daily. I will continue to take my dog here!!

Always happy with the service they provide. My two dogs love to visit with Marilyn. She always does a great job on their grooming!

Love having the Ruffin’ Inn located so close for all of our boarding and daycare needs. Our fur baby loves going to see his friends! Wonderful caring staff highly recommend!

Our two large dogs have stayed with Ruffin inn multiple times. Our vacations are always stress free knowing our dogs are well taken care of and having a vacation of their own. Seeing pictures of them on social media is always a highlight …

We've lived in many corners of the United States and have had to kennel our dogs. Never have we've been so happy and pleased with a kennel as we are with Ruffin Inn. They are extremely hands on with the pups and post many pictures and …

Kota started daycare last week and absolutely loves it. She came from a different daycare so as any dog parent I was worried about her first day but thanks to the FB pictures and videos they post I could clearly see she was totally fine and…

Marilyn is the best. She does an outstanding job every time.

Such a warm reception upon arrival, wonderful customer service, and confidence boosting encouragement that our “Uly” would be happily playing most of the day & we could trust he would be grouped with comparable doggies. It was an …

Great care given to our Molly ! Great staff!

Our 2YO shelter dog goes to doggy daycare once a week most weeks. We feel really good about boarding her while away on vacation. Sadie comes home from Ruffin' Inn happy and tired. Staff are always friendly, helpful, and patient with us and …

We love Ruffin Inn!! Our Moose gets so excited to be at Ruffin Inn as soon as we get in the parking lot. The staff know him by name, so cool and makes you feel comfortable leaving him there any time for play dates. You can tell the staff …

I’ve boarded 3 dogs here about 7 months ago, I forgot to leave a review. Excellent boarding facility, you can leave your fur babies here and know they will be well cared for. Highly recommended and will definitely return.

Our Luna is very skittish around new people and especially men. From Day 1 (its been about 3 years) Ruffin Inn made it a point to help her feel more comfortable. She is genuinely excited to go to daycare, and runs right in and plays HARD…

My pup LOVES Ruffin inn! We started coming here in March and everyday he wakes up and gets so excited because he knows he gets to go and play with his friends! He comes home pooped out and I love it! It lets me know he had a long day of …

We dropped off our 4 month old Newfie this weekend as we had a dance comp we had to leave town for! They kept Facebook updated with photos of her having the best time and when I went to pick her up you could tell she had made some bffs …

Ruffin Inn is a great place to bring your pet. All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I trust them completely and know my dogs are being well taken care of!

We're very pleased with the love and care the staff at Ruffin give to the animals in their care. Milo loves going there!

We especially appreciate all the photos and videos that are posted so we can see all the fun everyone is having!

My dog Bonnie loves it here! Everyone who works here is very professional, They are in tune with a Bonnie‘s special needs.

First time we had to board our two dogs and my expectations were blown out of the water! I was very apprehensive because my dogs have never been with other dogs, and the staff gently introduced them to other dogs. By the second day we were …

I have been using the Ruffin Inn since 2015. I have two Chihuahuas Louie and Lola. Louie loves everybody but he especially loves Al. My Lola is a little bit more particular but they have even won her over and she especially loves Justin. …

This was our first visit but we will definitely be coming back.

This place is the best! So accommodating and fair priced. We do half day daycare and they love our pup like he was their own! Highly recommend!!

They got my dog in for nail trimming even if about to close. So thankful.

Thank you Ruffin’Inn for such an amazing daycare and boarding experience. We felt safe leaving our sweet girl with you. We especially loved that we could see updates through your many daily posts while we were away. Thank you!!

I have somewhat Anxious dogs and they took them no problems and my dogs loved them

They really take good care of Oliver when we need to be out of town. He doesn't like a lot of other people, but he seems to like going here. Plus they post a lot of pictures throughout the day so you can see what all the guests are up to.

So happy we chose Ruffin'Inn for our first time boarding. We were very unsure how our Kona would interact with other dogs, but they reassured us no matter how she did they would take care of her. They posted tons of pictures throughout her …

We are so happy we chose Ruffin’Inn for Nacho. I was pretty nervous because Nacho has never been to boarding or even been away from family so I didn’t know how he would do. The staff was super patient and understanding and made sure nacho …

We LOVE Ruffin’ Inn & our pup loves it even more! This was our second time using them, and when it came time to pick up our pup after a long weekend away, she didn’t want to come home! She ran back to the door and the fence to try to …

Nice clean place with friendly people

My Lily loves Ruffin’Inn!! She knows the days she’s going and gets so excited to go and play with her friends!

The staff are also amazing and so friendly when we arrive! I won’t take her anywhere else!

Plus, they wear her out and we all …

Great place, they have fun with the dogs and let all the dogs play together! Will be using again!

My dogs LOVE it here. When we arrive they forget that I exist, and are so excited to go to daycare. I love that there's always plenty of other dogs for them to play with, and also that they post daily photos on their Facebook page. They …

My dogs always seem like they have had a good time when they board here.

Our dog loves going to day care at Ruffin and just spent his first overnight there. He is very well cared for and drags us into the building when we get there!

We took our Labradoodle there for the first time this weekend and they were amazing! Thank you for taking such good care of him and for posting all the adorable pictures. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've been bringing my pup to daycare for the last couple of weeks and it's going great so far! They make it so easy to pick up and drop off, I love that they post pictures throughout the day!

Great place for boarding and I have a difficult dog breed.

Al and all of the workers treat my German shepherd as if she were their own.

they are amazing with our fur babies!

We love taking our Golden to Ruffin Inn! They have an easy to use reservation system, know our dog by name at drop-off, post multiple pictures of our dog playing on Facebook during his stay, and have friendly customer service. We love their…

Loved this place so much..Ended up adopting, transporting and fostering! Can't even come close to expressing enough Gratitude!

Very patient with nervous dogs. Wonderful place will definitely be bringing our dog back!

They did a great job taking care of our pet.

We sre so thankful for Ruffin'Inn. We had a family emergency and needed to leave town right away. I needed someone to take my 2 dobies but I wasn't sure when we would be back to pick them up. They said, no problem, we will take good care …

We had an amazing experience!! This was our first time boarding our boy for vacation. I was nervous dropping off, the staff reassured me completely! And the Facebook pictures of our Gabes stay was fantastic! Picked him up this morning he …

Really great people, caring.

We boarded our cat, Chico, here for 5 days while on vacation. It was wonderfully reassuring to see pictures of him on their facebook page, and the atrium was a beautiful spot for him to call 'home' while we were away. He seemed happy and …

Doggie daycare is fantastic plus we adopted our dog thru them.

Thanks Ruffin Inn for the awesome play time this weekend. I came home and I was so tired. My silly hooman tried to take me on a walk and I sat down on the side walk.

Friendly small businesss, owner is so friendly.

I cannot say enough about customer service, kindness, and cleanliness for both facilities! The owners and all of the employees deeply care about our dogs. They know our dogs and have deep knowledge of what they need. Our dogs run into the …

I cannot tell you what a relief it is to find such kind and compassionate organization.

Our pup has had some not so good experiences in the past.

She loves to come here.

Everyone here is wonderful.

We feel blessed to have Ruffin Inn lodge…

Great service, our dog loved staying there.

Excited for your upcoming vacation? Worried about having to leave/board your pet? Worry no longer. Ruffin'Inn Pet Lodge is the place to go. We just returned from a week long vacation and we boarded our dog for the week at Ruffin'Inn. …

I’ve just started bringing pup and from drop off to pick up the staff is super friendly! The place looks very clean and Wally is very tired from playing so much. Great place to socialize your dog!!! Highly recommend. 👍

Our dog always has so much fun and is well taken care of! I appreciate the pictures and videos😀

They took great care of our 6 month old pup! Great people, very friendly.

Wonderful experience with them. They truly care about your dog and spoil them as if they were going to grandmas house for the weekend. Highly recommend! They went out of their way to help ensure our senior dog was taken care of while we …

Great place and people

My dog is 6 and never been to daycare. She has severe separation anxiety and was recently attacked by a large dog. We were very worried how she would do. I called to check up on her and they were very accommodating to my worries and …

We highly recommend the Lodge. Our dog Daisy loves going here. The staff are fabulous and caring. The place is always neat, clean and tidy and we never have to worry or wonder if we made the right choice, because our dog deserves only …

I came here to visit and check it out for our fur baby. I talked to the owner and she was very nice. The place was clean and the set up looks like it would be fun. I love that I was able to see where she would sleep and all the options …

I have a dog that is very hard to groom and they were able to groom her and did a great job! A different groomer said to never bring her back! I'll always go back! Thanks

We have been taking our energetic husky mixes Mocha & Latte here for 4 years now and they always come back happy and tired--a good sign of great pet care. We love this place!

I’ve taken my pup here a few times now for boarding, and the staff is always so friendly and great with my dog. This is such a wonderful place with staff that you can trust to take exceptional care of your dogs. I highly recommend! 😊🐾

Both my visits to each location were great. John at the Ranch and Mary at the Lodge

Showed me around and explained there routens, and different sections of the property and building. I felt very comfortable making an appointment for daycare…

Our GSP seems to enjoy her time here when we are out of town. She always comes home and sleeps for what seems like days due to all the run time she gets.

We boarded our dogs for the first time for a few days and they had such a good time. we will be back for sure for daycare and future stays!

This is our 3rd time away from our two fur babies. Our little nugget is only 4lbs and has anxiety issues. They are so accommodating to all of her/my needs! Highly recommend this amazing place! Not to mention that it’s always clean!

Our dogs love this place! Very accommodating all around.

My first experience at Ruffin Inn Lodge was great. The Staff was very friendly, and I liked how they were mopping/cleaning when I walked in the door. Marilyn the groomer did a great job on my Leo! I was also impressed that they could get me…

We boarded our dog, König, for the first time and were a bit worried. After visiting and reviewing a bunch of boarding places, we chose Ruffin'Inn Pet Lodge and we do not regret it. They took such good care of König. We definitely …

Great facility and people. Even if the staff doesn't know the humans, they know our dog on sight and are excited to see her! Will go back again and again, no guilt leaving her here for a few days!

The consistent best dog boarding experience I've found in 30 years

Our dog, Bo, loves to go play with his “friends” and gets excited when we use that word! Both overnights and day care are a fun time and great for energetic dogs who loooove to PLAY. Bo always comes home tired after all of the fun!!
