Casey loves playing with the other canine guests at Paws at Play and Napa loves watching Sonja's cats. Napa and Casey come home happy and exhausted. I trust Sonja implicitly and give her my highest endorsement.

Alright here goes my crazy…read more I strongly discourage anyone from sending their dog to Ruff House. Based on my recent experience, I do not believe they have their clients' pets' best interests at heart. Yesterday, I took my one-year-old dog to Ruff House for daycare. Unfortunately, I made a mistake and told my husband the wrong pickup time. I mistakenly thought they closed at 7:00 PM because another daycare we use has those hours. Ruff House closes at 6:00 PM. When my husband arrived at 6:15 PM, the facility was completely empty--there were no employees, no vehicles, and no one available to assist us. I spoke with the manager, Ann, the following day about the situation. The conversation began pleasantly but quickly became dismissive and confrontational. Rather than addressing my concerns, she attempted to tell me things about my dog that I know are not accurate. She also openly shifted blame onto individual employees, mentioning them by name and attributing the situation to their mistakes. During our discussion, Ann confirmed that Ruff House does not have an after-hours emergency contact number and has no plans to establish one. This was particularly concerning given that they are responsible for caring for other people's beloved pets. While I fully acknowledge that the initial pickup issue was my mistake, I was surprised that no one attempted to contact me by phone, text, or email to verify whether we were coming. I live only seven minutes from the facility and could have been there immediately. What concerned me even more was learning that boarded dogs are left unattended overnight for approximately 13 hours. According to our conversation, all employees leave at 6:00 PM, and no one returns before 7:00 AM. I understand that facilities may not be staffed 24/7, but 13 consecutive hours without on-site supervision seems excessive. When I worked at a dog daycare in college, staff remained with the animals until 9:00 PM, and morning staff arrived as early as 5:30 AM to care for them. To make matters worse, my dog was fed without my authorization or prior communication. Since returning home, he has experienced vomiting and diarrhea. After this experience, I contacted several other local dog daycare facilities, including Puppy Haven, to ask how they handle situations involving late pickups and overnight care. Their policies place a much stronger emphasis on communication with pet owners and ensuring the safety and well-being of the animals in their care. While everyone makes mistakes--including me--the way this situation was handled left me deeply disappointed and concerned. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Ruff House. **As of today, there is no business by this name with an active business license with the State of Georgia according to the Secretary of State's website.

I bathed them several times and tried to get their hair knots and matted hair brushed out and I barely made a dent. They really saved the day for their meet and greets tomorrow and now I feel more than confident they will be adopted! They did such an amazing job on the fosters that my roommate asked if they could squeeze his dog in. They did so great with him! He stinks after his baths - no matter what we do ... but after his bath with them he smells amazing! My roommate can't stop talking about what a relief it was and how he can't wait to become a regular client. Thank you so so much!

Keitha came out today and gave Gizmo his first mobile grooming…read more This is one of these reviews that I 'm going to have to list and rate by line item - then give it cumulative rating because there was good and bad: When I called to make the appointment - Keitha was friendly - but clearly busy and slightly overwhelmed. She wasn't able to take down my info and requested that I text her instead. 2 stars I asked her if she was able to give me a courtesy reminder call and she agreed - but on the day of - she forgot. The scheduled appointment was for 11am - and she arrived late (11:20am). 1 star She jumped out of the van and immediately acknowledged Gizmo. My first impression was that she was cute and young looking but dressed professionally and appropriate. Professional with a boho / punk sort of twist - maybe it was the large chunky streaks of purple hair pulled back in a pony tail. 5 stars She did a rather lengthy but informal interview where we discussed Gizmo's temperament & normal grooming routine. We also discussed my expectations - I asked her to shave his paw pads down as low as she could safely take them - I even showed her pictures so that she would see how they typically look after a visit with a competent groomer. I also requested that she shave his sani areas and belly. 5 stars She appeared to be a kind, caring and knowledgeable individual. She IS knowledgeable. When I commented on how young she looked - she told me she's been grooming for FIFTEEN years. 5 stars The van was equipped with a reservoir that holds 75 gallons of water - so there was no need for a hose hook-up - but they do plug into your electricity. 5 stars for not wasting water or polluting the environment using a generator. The price on her website says baths START at $35. On the phone - she said price was $35. I remember asking her if she was sure because she was so far away from me. And I distinctly remember it because I told her I used to work 'out that way' about a decade ago and it was 39 niles unless she took the 'back way' and she said she would take the 'back way' and always does. Today - before she got started - I asked her what the price was - just to be certain, and she said $45. I wasn't sure if he's $45 (instead of $35 'start at' price) because of his long hair, or because I'm a little further away from her than her routine clients. I probably should have gotten a text confirmation. Honestly - I didn't argue with her because $45 was more than reasonable - but I mention it here because she did change the price on me. She did also mention that when people schedule routine grooming - the price per visit is lower. 2 stars She completed the grooming very quickly. 5 stars I wasn't thrilled with the end result. Paw pads did not look good. Tops or bottoms. She did 'fix' the tops and take the paw pads down more after I asked her to - but I honestly felt like she was under the impression that I didn't mind risking harming Gizmo's paw pads to get the 'look' that I wanted. I told her not to take them down any further if she didn't feel comfortable doing so. But she had her assistant hold him to keep him calm and steady and she took care of it. Primarily though - I was disappointed because Gizmo's coat wasn't as fluffy as it typically is after a fresh grooming. And the hair behind his ears was wavy and crinkly. Plus his belly wasn't shaved as low and 'clean' as I'm used to. She did explain that the straight, fluffy look I'm used to comes from the dog being placed in a blower box and she used a forced air dryer (she explained further but I think I've provided MORE than enough detail here.) She also explained that shaving him too low can give him razor burn. 2 stars That nets a cumulative rating of 3.5. So I'll list them as 3 stars - A-OK!
