Daycare
Doggie Daycare is where it’s at!! Bring your pup for a full day of fun! Many fur babies suffer from separation anxiety while not being with the people they most adore. As dog owners, we often feel guilty for long days away from our loyal companions. Whether it be at work, running errands, shopping trips, doctor’s appointments, or a number of other tasks that take us away from our dogs. We have the solution!
Our daycare offers an action-packed experience full of exercise, socialization, games, arts and crafts, and attention galore! The best part…Walk-ins are welcome!

We are proud to welcome each and every one of our dogs as an individual and understand the daily needs of our pack. We know that daycare is much more than just a long playtime session and are able to provide break times, individual snack times, and bring structure to the day. We separate our dogs based on size, age, energy level, and play style so they can interact with minimal risk of accident or injury. Our well-trained staff are confident and knowledgeable in canine body language and behavior, so we can provide daily feedback to each of our clients.
In the event of inclement weather, our facility is equipped with an all season, climate controlled indoor play areas to ensure that your baby gets to stay healthy and fit. All of our play groups and play times are supervised by our Ruffin It staff members that have received specialized training. We guarantee your dog’s stay with us will be anything but RUFF!
We like to provide an opportunity for all dogs to participate in our daycare program. Generally, dogs should be at least 4-5 months as long as they are fully vaccinated and have been in your ownership for a few weeks. Our knowledgeable and caring staff members work with dogs on mannerly play, social skills, and becoming more responsive to us. If your dog is not social, we can accommodate them in our private play program so they can still enjoy daycare and receive adequate play time and care.
Doggy Daycare Rules
- All dogs must have received their full round of up-to-date vaccinations. (Parvo, Bordetella, and Rabies. Client responsibility to submit verification).
- All dogs must be in good health and free from communicable disease
- All dogs entering the facility must be free of parasites, including fleas, ticks and intestinal parasites.
- All dogs must pass a behavioral assessment on their first day of enrollment (parents must certify their dog has not harmed another, or shown aggressive behavior toward another person or dog)
- All dogs attending daycare must arrive on leash.
- All dogs participating in group play must be spayed or neutered. Unaltered dogs will receive individual play time.
- Dogs with stitches in place may not use Ruffin It’s services until the stitches are 10+ days old and cleared by their veterinarian.
- For safety reasons, pregnant dogs and dogs in heat are not permitted in daycare.
- Fees are due and payable at the end of each day. Cash, MasterCard, Visa, American Express are accepted. Discounted packages are provided only if they are paid in advance. Pre-paid packages are nonrefundable. Our program is flexible enough to accommodate reasonable special needs requests.
- In the case of emergency care, our staff will notify all parties of any dog injury situation. If the owner is unable to pick up the dog in a reasonable amount of time, Ruffin It is authorized to seek immediate medical attention from our vet partner. All charges prepaid by Ruffin It will be reimbursed by patient owners.
*Please remember that your dog will be spending time with other dogs and that their safety and health are our main priority. Although play is supervised, your dog still may acquire an occasional nip or scratch. We do want them to have fun and play together! Ruffin It reserves the right to refuse enrollment to any dog at any time for any reason. Please be advised that our environment is not suited for every dog and safety is of the utmost importance. If we feel a dog will create an unsafe environment for themselves or anyone else based on any behavior we encounter, they will not be able to participate in our program.
