Why Choose Cage-Free Overnight Care?

With over 30 years in leadership and operations management — and a lifetime as a dog lover — I designed The Ruff House to be the opposite of traditional kennels. Our suites are bright, airy, and safe, so your dog sleeps as comfortably here as they do at home.

No Cages — Ever

Dogs stay in spacious suites with room to stretch, lie down, and bring familiar items from home. No chain link, no cramped boxes — just comfort.

Camera Access

All suites equipped with individual cameras that can be remotely accessed by pet parents. Check in on your pup anytime from anywhere.

Stress-Free Sleep

Quiet time starts after evening play, with lights dimmed and calming music. Dogs sleep better without the anxiety of barking kennel rows.

Choose the Perfect Suite for Your Dog

Every suite includes fresh bedding, climate control, daily cleaning, and built-in food/water bowls. Bring your dog’s bed, toys, or blankets for comfort. Discounts available for multi-pet families.

Boarding FAQs

Clear answers so you can book with confidence.

What makes your boarding “cage‑free”?
Our overnight guests stay in **suites** (VIP, Standard, or Pet Condos) with room to move, real bedding, and personal items from home—**no kennels or cages**. Spaces are bright, airy, and designed for low stress sleep, with evening play before quiet hours.
How are dogs grouped during the day?
We place dogs in three play rooms based on size and energy: **Bigs**, **Littles**, and **Chills** (for seniors or mellow pups). Daycare runs **7am–7pm**, and boarding guests join appropriate play groups during daytime hours.
What’s your staff‑to‑dog ratio and supervision like?
We follow Colorado guidance with about a **1:15** staff‑to‑dog ratio for daycare/boarding. Boarding is **operational 24/7/365** with overnight checks, climate control, and fresh water available at all times.
What should I pack for my dog’s stay?
Bring **vaccination records**, pre‑measured food in labeled containers, and any meds with instructions. Comfort items like your dog’s **bed, blanket, and favorite toys** are welcome to help them settle in.
Will I get updates? How do I get started?
Yes—expect **texts and photos** during the day so you can follow the fun. Start with a **free evaluation**, then enjoy a **free first daycare day**. Booking is handled through our scheduling app for quick, seamless reservations.
