The Ruffin’ It experience

Pets arrive with different personalities, comfort levels and needs. A stay here is built from the moments below in whatever mix suits your pet, not a checklist every guest goes through.

Some guests want the yard and a game. Some want a quiet corner and a familiar blanket. Both are good days.

  • A staff member kneeling to greet a dog

    Individual attention

    We get to know each guest's temperament and routine, and plan their days around it rather than a fixed program.

  • A dog sniffing through grass

    Enrichment

    Treat hunts, puzzles and one-on-one time, chosen from our menu to match how your pet likes to spend time.

  • A dog with a ball in its mouth outdoors

    Play and exploration

    Yard time, sniff walks and games for the pets who enjoy them. Social play is only for dogs who are suited to it.

  • A dog asleep on a blanket

    Rest

    Quiet, clean spaces to settle into, a tuck-in if you ask for one, and someone on site through the night.
