Rose
Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.

Annie
Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.

Jordan
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!

Francesco
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!

Everything was great even though they were here for some unfortunate circumstances (hurricane and extended power outage). Sent frequent updates and our cat seemed to like them.

Hannah
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!

Misti
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!

Lilly
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.

Gwynn
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!

Courtenay
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle

Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.

Julian
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Sheelagh
honeybee was a great sitter for our 3 animals. She communicated very well throughout the sit. Our flight home was delayed and she was great about being able to cover the extra days. Her connection to the animals was wonderful. We were less organized than intended on her arrival due to some unexpected work issues, and she was great about rolling with the changes (e.g. the closet doors were missing as the painter hadn't finished with them). She used public transport to get to Golden and then drove our car while here. She left a few items behind, and her attention to kitchen cleanliness could be better, but we would definitely have her sit our pets again if the opportunity arises.
Nicole
This was our first time using a pet or house sitter and the bar set by Leslie is very high! She is warm, friendly, communicative, responsible and very clean. Upon arriving, she immediately bonded with our rat terrier, Oreo, by bringing him a new frisbee (his favorite toy/activity) and throwing it for him in our backyard. Leslie has a sweet and mellow dog, Benny, who is now Oreo's new buddy! She kept my husband and I updated via texts/pictures of their daily activities, our house, and was proactive in asking questions before she left. She even dropped our dog off at the kennel for one night at the end of our trip since our flight was too late for us to get home for him! Our home was clean and had fresh flowers from our garden that she put in vases for us! Such a simple and nice touch! We have asked Leslie to come back to sit for us again for 2 weeks in August. I'd highly recommend her to take care of your pet(s) and home too!
Marlynn
Angie and Joe were fabulous pet/house sitters and overall people! Angie sent daily updates with photos. Really appreciate the extra effort they put into watering the grass and garden. The house was exactly the same as when I left (including sheets/towel washed, beds made, frig cleaned, dishes put away and trash taken out...). Pretty sure Mia was looking for them the next day as she ran to the guest bedroom. Already scheduled a second sit! If you're lucky enough to land them as pet sitter then you're lucky.
Kate
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
Laura
Davis and Sydney were loving sitters for our pets. We even had an extra cat (our son's) and they took great care of all of the pets and our home. The pictures and the comments they sent showed us they figured out all of their quirky personalities very fast. It was nice to come home to a clean house and all pets were safe and happy! We would ask them back again.

Kate was an excellent house sitter and pet sitter. She was thoughtful, sensitive, and attuned to our cats and the particulars of our house. It was really easy to communicate with her and she was responsible and conscientious about everything. When we came back our cats seemed unfazed by our return which was a great sign and it was obvious that she spent lots of time with them and gave them lots of love. The house was spotless on our return and she even alerted us to a health matter in one of our cats. She sent lots of cute updates and was easy going when we messed up a logistical detail on our end. Just a delightful person all around. I'd love to have her come again and if you have a chance to have her housesit, jump on it. She is a gem.

We had the pleasure of having Tara as our house sitter while we were away, and we can't praise her enough for the fantastic job she did. Not only did she take excellent care of our home, but she also showed tremendous love and attention to our beloved dogs. From the moment Tara walked through the door, we could tell she had a genuine passion for animals. She immediately bonded with our dogs, and they seemed completely at ease with her. Throughout our trip, she provided us with regular updates and photos, which truly put our minds at ease knowing our boys were in great hands. Tara took great care of our home as well. It was evident that she respected our space and coming back home, we found everything just as we left it, if not even better! We highly recommend Tara to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and caring house sitter. Her communication was excellent, and she proved herself to be a responsible and dedicated individual. If you want to ensure your pets and home are in the best hands while you're away, Tara is the perfect choice. Thank you, Tara, for taking such incredible care of our dogs and home. You made our trip stress-free, and we're truly grateful.

We were so happy to have Kyle as our house sitter for two weeks. Besides taking great care of our pets and our house, he was very accommodating. We were always able to get in touch with him if we needed to, and he agreed to take on some extra plant watering’s when the weather made a sudden change. As a bonus, he is very likable and communicative. We would definitely have him come again.
Laurie
Debra was a Great pet and house sitter !! She communicated well throughout our long trip and sent us frequent pictures of all of our pets. She watered our plants and brought in all the mail. Our home was immaculate when we arrived home and the dogs and cat were super happy !! I would recommend Debra as a wonderful, responsible and reliable pet and house sitter !

Amazing experience! Five stars all the way... Nikki was kind enough to watch our two cats Thomas and Toby while were away on our honeymoon. From the very beginning she made us feel comfortable with clear communication and quick replies. Since she was local in Atlanta we got to meet her ahead of time and hand off keys before we left. While we were away she sent pictures of our little buds having fun and being themselves, so we always knew they were ok. She always showed up exactly when she said she would from pickup to dropoff and it was so incredible to know they were in good hands, and we never had to worry. They love being around people so for her to have been able to stay with them and love on them regularly we came home and could immediately tell both Thomas and Toby felt great as they were completely comfortable. Much much different than when we leave even for a few days and have a pet sitter stop by and feed them. She asked all the necessary questions in advance, so she didn't have to email or ask anything while we were away. She even took the time to make sure everything was neat and tidy, prepped the sheets to be changed, and was unbelievably sweet to get us a wedding gift we both love. Nikki we can't thank you enough for taking care of our cats, and we would only be so lucky if you stuck around town! :)

Absolutely LOVE Ruffy Ranch. Allore treats all the dogs as if they are the only one there. The handlers are amazing along with the facility. Our baby has been going about 2 times a week and has spent the night and it’s so comforting to know he’s in the best care. I love how I get pics sent to me throughout the day of what my baby is up to. Can’t say enough good about Ruffy Ranch Retreat ❤️❤️
This place is so wonderful and welcoming that you'll wish we could go there as humans for the day. From the minute you walk in the front door you are greeted with a huge welcoming smile. I know my dog is loved on all day long. He absolutely goes crazy when we pull in the driveway because he knows how much fun he is going to have for the day. I did board him for five days and couldn’t be more happy with the care he received. Allore sent me pictures consistently, and in every picture he was smiling and or being loved on by one of the employees. There is no doubt that they take pride in their work. I cannot imagine a better place to take my dog.
This place is the not only the cutest doggy daycare on the planet it's absolutely amazing all around. Our beefy boy loves his play dates, comes home and sleeps for 8+ hours. He takes us to his leash every morning excited that he might be going to visit his new friends. He's well taken care of there. We've not trusted anyone with our baby boy Diesel Franklin, but we trust RRR. They treat you & your fur babies like family there. Such a wonderful staff, Diesel loves them all. 10/10 recommended!
My dog loves going here. Allure is always in a great mood and absolutely loves animals. You can tell she enjoys what she does. She always sends pictures of our dog throughout the day. It is nice to have a doggy daycare place around the area to bring our dog to. I highly recommend ruffy ranch as Allure is amazing and always responds to questions and calls.
If you want your four legged baby cared for in a 5 star resort fashion this is your place. My Lab is spoiled at Ruffy Ranch even better than if she was at home. I feel comfortable when she is in their care and can enjoy my day knowing she is safe and having a fun day
We could not say enough positive things about Ruffy's Ranch. The owner and staff have been so accommodating and so willing to work with our dog, who is very apprehensive about new environments and grooming. We would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone. We are SO thankful and our dog looks amazing thanks to the team!
We absolutely love our friends at Ruffy Ranch Retreat! Our energetic puppy comes home worn out from playing outside all day. She is always clean and happy after her fun days at daycare, and it brings us such peace of mind knowing that she is loved and taken care of while we’re not with her! Allore is caring, passionate about her work, and treats both owners and dogs with the same enthusiasm and kindness every time they walk through the door. Her staff is equally as wonderful, and this beautiful space has been the best addition to our puppy’s routine! The Fenton area is so lucky to have Allore and her team - we ❤️ RRR! 🐶
I really wanted to love this boarding facility because it’s a beautiful, new building and the owner is incredibly sweet. I also appreciated the daily photo updates of my dog, which is a nice touch. However, after boarding my dog here twice, I can’t overlook the health issues we encountered. After his first stay, my dog came home and within two days started showing signs of an upper respiratory infection. A visit to the vet confirmed that it likely stemmed from either unsanitary conditions or exposure to another sick dog while being boarded. He had to go on antibiotics for a week to recover, which was concerning, but I gave the facility the benefit of the doubt. I contacted the owner and she was very responsive and assured me she would sanitize the facility completely. I hoped this was a one time issue, so I decided to give them another try. Unfortunately, after his second stay, the same thing happened. This time he developed green yellow discharge from his eyes – something he had never experienced before. I’ve boarded my dog at other facilities in the past and never had any issues. He’s up-to-date on all vaccines, extremely healthy outside of these 2 issues based on the vets report, and the only time he’s ever been sick is after returning home from this facility. It’s frustrating and just not worth the hassle of dealing with a sick dog every time he stays here. Additionally, I feel like the facility adds on some unnecessary extra fees. For example, they charge a half-day daycare fee for the initial mandatory interview, even though it only lasted about 15-20 minutes. In my experience, most places don’t charge for this at all. The backyard is also quite muddy as it appears to be a mulch/dirt play area, so every time my dog comes home, he’s very dirty and in need of a bath – which they’ll charge $65 (for my 60lb dog) if you want it done there. It would be nice if they would either reduce that fee because it's going to be needed no matter what after a day spent in their yard, or offer to run them under some clean water so you don't get your car dirty if you opt to bathe them yourself post-pickup. Picking up your dog after noon incurs an additional daycare fee, which is standard at a lot of places but still something to be aware of. My biggest concern, however, is the appearance of a lack of thorough and frequent disinfecting of the facility. It’s a real shame because I wanted to love this place, but I won’t be returning, and I would advise others to be aware of this as well.
Long winded negative reviews are only meant to hurt a business. That review you left was ugly and I suspect ur dog was already sick and or your dog is not completely vaccinated. Ya! There is mud in the back. They just finished building that place. Also leaving a review with just 1 star and not stating why is only intended to hurt the business and is a selfish self serving act. i hope potential customers see this for what it is. I don't know the owners but I plan on making an appointment and I will be happy to pay $25 for interview. This is not Ruffy's first roedo. They know the importance of a clean place. .
I absolutely love this place. My doogos have been in daycare or boarding for 4+ years and immediately switched them to RRR the moment it opened and have never looked back. Allore is literally the best and my dogs get beyond excited when I pull in to drop them off for the day. She has put her heart and soul in this business and it shows. It spotless and she is always thinking about what the dogs would love for enrichment. Highly recommend!
