Premier Indoor Boarding Facility

Our Dog Boarding facility is state-of-the-art for boarding and daycare with an “at-home” feel. Our staff have extensive experience and knowledge in canine behavior and training to accommodate your individual needs for you and your canine companion.

WE PROVIDE TWO DIFFERENT ACCOMMODATIONS FOR YOUR FURRY FAMILY MEMBER

At Ruffgers, we offer a one-of-a-kind luxury campus experience for your dog’s boarding needs. Our state-of-the-art facility features indoor and outdoor play areas, along with a dedicated dog training space to keep your pup active, engaged, and happy.

What truly sets us apart is our exceptional team. Our staff is made up of well-educated, highly experienced professionals from a variety of backgrounds in the animal care industry—including professional dog trainers, pet sitters, and those with veterinary experience.

To ensure your dog’s comfort and well-being, our Residence Hall is designed with a unique, home-like layout—creating a cozy, non-traditional kennel environment that feels just like home. For added peace of mind, we also have overnight staff on site to ensure safety and support during nighttime hours.

At Ruffgers, your dog isn’t just boarding—they’re living the campus life in comfort and care.

Our unique daycare environment is designed to make your dog feel as if they have a “Home Away From Home”, providing your pet with the opportunity to socialize and exercise with other dogs of similar size and energy level. Our trained and experienced team provide love and attention for each of our guests as if they were their own.

Ruffgers offers a well-balanced dog daycare program, which is available all days of the week excluding Sunday.

Our daycare program is broken up into half or full days. This is perfect for the dog-parents on the go. Our daycare dogs enjoy plenty of play-time and we are often told that they are quite tuckered out at home from playing all day.

*Ask our trainers about our daycare packages for significant savings!

Campus Life

Residence Hall Den

Our dens are perfect for dogs who need a cozy, quiet place to relax after playtime with their friends! They’re also ideal for pups who prefer one-on-one attention and individualized care during their stay.

The Fun Doesn't stop there!

We also offer baths, nails, brushing, raw bones, chicken back or neck, bully sticks, duck feet, lamb ears or goats milk as add-ons to your stay. Be sure to ask your trainer when scheduling your dogs visit about all the options or download the form here and bring it with you!! Whether you are looking for puppy “boot camp” or brushing up on some good behaviors, we are pleased to offer our Board & Train program. While enrolled in our Board & Train program, your pup will receive one-on-one training from our experienced training staff. This includes such things like crate games, walking nicely on a leash, stay, agility, not jumping on people, or recall, as well as house-breaking and basic obedience. All Board & Train stays include a 30-minute lesson to go over all the learning that took place while your pup was with us so that the training can be continued and reinforced at home!

Meals must be pre-bagged in pre-measured ziplock bags for each meal. Prescription medications are ok to bring, however if you are bringing supplements or any other items for feeding please include them in the pre-portioned meal bags.

Residence Themed Suite

Our Themed Suites — also known as communal rooms — are perfect for dogs who thrive on social interaction. Dogs are grouped by size, age, and temperament to create a comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone.

During the day, dogs enjoy a shared play area where they can romp, play, and socialize with their canine friends. In the evening, each guest retreats to their own private space for meals and a restful night’s sleep. It’s the best of both worlds: playtime with pals and peaceful, individual downtime.

Before Your First Daycare or Boarding

All new students are required to attend a free 90-minute assessment to help us ensure they feel comfortable and to place them in the perfect accommodation tailored to their needs. The assessment is a drop-off appointment, but we kindly ask that you remain available to pick up your dog if needed during that time.

Register or contact us to get started!

DAYCARE ENRICHMENT

We are pleased to offer daycare enrichment, which is a very unique daycare experience at Ruffgers. While your dog stays for enrichment daycare they also receive one-on-one training from our experienced training staff. This includes such things like crate games, walking nicely on a leash, stay, agility, not jumping on people, or recall. We are always excited to go over all the training we have worked on while your dog was staying with us, which helps you continue the training as well.
