After having such a negative experience at a specific vet I have mentioned previously on my yelp in Twain Harte, followed by a negative experience today at the same exact vet my mom had, we were unserviced, upset, and DESPERATE to get our poor kitty taken care of with his shots, and his belly shaved because his long coat gets matted even brushing him all day it just does he's a big fluffy boy lol. It's in the middle of July and extremely hot, keep in mind he is an adult fluffy Maine Coon breed cat, so we felt terrible he was so anxious and we were just trying to keep him cool. By GRACE of the angels, We went by Ruff House where we have gone to groom our dog before and DENISE was SO incredibly calming, reassuring, and helped out in a pinch!!! Especially to my mom, she even knew her by name as well as our pets!! Now that's 1,000 star customer service. She is the SWEETEST lady and her team just loves ours and others animals and you can tell. Not to mention she trimmed his matted belly with a couple helpers in RECORD time! And everyone left so happy! Her and her team are the absolute best in the area and we must put our trust into employees that are animal lovers and not just there for your money but because they love what they do and they care for their life, because these are our fur babies we love. She has been and IS an absolutely darling and a life saver! Not to mention everytime our dog gets a bath there she has the prettiest bows on her collar and she's happy she feels clean and fancy! Not only did she help out today, but she also recommended another Vet after our experience that is known for taking VERY good care of animals so we will now be going there for all of our pets shots, any health concerns, or anything or that matter, and I couldn't be more happy or feel more safe! Thank you so much Denise for helping my family and animals not only get taken care of and groomed exquisitely on this hot day, but to recommend a wonderful new vet that is nearby and has great feedback from customers really does mean the world and makes us feel so much more safe and at ease! I can't wait to come see you when it is our pup Belle's bath time and get to admire her pretty bows. You are the so gifted, an animal and whisperer, and the BEST! We love you! read more

My 2 small dogs are terrified of having their nails done, but years ago I brought them in to see Denise and I will not go anywhere else! She's quick, awesome demeanor, and my babies definitely feel more comfortable when they're in her arms. Highly recommend! read more

I had a great experience! Not only is the staff very inviting and friendly but also very skilled. I have an American Eskimo dog and his hair can be hard to cut since it can't be cut too short or you see his pink skin. I've had issues getting him cut in the past. But they understood my concerns and cut him just right. I requested as short as we can go for his coat for summer and cut to look like a lion just for funsies. He came out just as I asked and looks amazing! We will definitely be returning here :) read more

Denise has washed and clipped our dog three times and he's looked fantastic every time. Denise is a 100% outstanding, fantastic groomer -- and human being! I sometimes wish his fur would grow faster so we could take him back sooner. read more

Best K9 groomers around. Dogs actually enjoy going. Reasonable prices too. Good nail trimming and have cuts. read more

Our little guy Cody can be hard to groom with so many mats but they did a super good job and he looks great! Ruff House is definitely our groomer from now on! read more

This place is the best! I'll go nowhere else! They are fast for nail trim and always fit you in.

My dogs went in nervous and came out calm and clean. I've never taken them to a groomer before, and they are nine years old, both labs. She was great with them! We will definitely return! read more

I HATE that YELP only goes up to 5-stars because Ruff House Pet Salon is WAY BETTER. From the moment we walked in the door Denise had Darby feeling comfy and he had no problem with us leaving. In just a couple of hours 'PRESTO' a new Darby groomed so perfectly we barely recognized him. He was clean, fluffy, and smelled better than ever. From here on this is the only place we'll bring him for his quarterly 'TUNEUPS'! Thanks Denise!!! read more

We live in the Bay Area and have used many different groomers but Ruff House Pet Salon is the absolute best. Every time we've taken Cooper (our Goldendoodle) here, he always gets the best hair cuts. Now that we have a cabin in Twain Harte, we'll make special trips up there just for a Cooper hair cut. Denise is an amazing person who you can tell loves the animals but more importantly loves what she does. read more

What a great place. Warmly welcomed. Prompt job. Our girl looks beautiful. Lily seemed to love her spa treatment. read more

Denise is awesome! Anytime you need an appointment, she's there. Her prices are great. She has been doing my dogs over 5 yrs.

They do a great job with my crazy Spanish Water Dog! She comes out looking like a fluffy bear with cute little sparkly feather bows in her hair. Or when we ask to shave her down she looks Svelt and feels great. Love this place! read more

Where do I start? I rarely post reviews, but this business absolutely unequivocally deserves one. Our two doodles were matted pretty bad from being in the water so much and since we are on vacation I had to find a groomer near where we are staying. After seeing all the good Yelp I reached out to Ruff House and immediately got a text back. They're super communicative, and when they asked "what's your kids names?" I knew we'd hit the mark! They did a fantastic job, and our kids (dogs) were in good hands and not crated the entire time. I highly recommend them, they'll take great care of your pups! read more

Denise is kind and friendly. This place makes you feel like family. I recommend Ruff House. Your pet will too.

Very friendly, dog- loving groomers. I've been a dog owner my whole life but wasn't prepared by the level of sensitivity my mini Aussie has with toenail and ear care. They took care of it all plus trimmed her up. I couldn't ask for more ---I will be back. read more

Was in the area for the weekend and on our drive here, got a call from our bay area groomer that they were shutting down due to Covid and my boy wouldn't get grooming for who knows how long. We quickly got on yelp and found Ruff house, called and the nice owner give us an apt the next day! I'm very particular with whom my fur baby goes to as I don't trust many people. She was very trustworthy, nice and knew how to cut my doodles hair. Very happy with the entire experience! Thank you for doing a good job. My poor baby would've gone for who knows how long, overdue for a cut if we hadn't found this place. The owner is great read more

So welcoming and friendly. Great with both my dogs. My pups were very happy leaving after their spa day!

The sweetest dog whisperer Denise is. If you get her to groom your dog, you and your dog are lucky!

These gals are so nice. They did a great job on my Bubba with a bath and nail trim. And he walked away with a nice dress tie. I love this place and so does the Bub. read more

Great service, reasonable, caring, knowledgeable, and in the middle of town. Very sweet people Thanks read more

Awesome care and love given to my boy. Love this place and you will too.

My daughter took In our cat. Yes, our cat had mats. Hence why we took him in to get groomed? Isn't that why you take them in? He wasn't bathed and wasn't shaven evenly. For 65 bucks, I should of done it myself. I wanted to get it professionally done. The pictures speak for themselves. If the business was not capable of doing the job or finishing the job correctly then they should of left it for professionals. read more

Our cat has long hair and it had become matted and we could not get the mats combed out. Denise is the ONLY one in the Sonora - Twain Harte area that would even consider taking our cat. Denise was wonderful! She was kind, fast, efficient, and made our experience wonderful. Our cat was calm and did just fine. So happy! This is our new favorite spot in Tuolumne County. Thank you Denise and all the wonderful staff. read more

I took my mini schnauzer, who has been kicked out of two groomers for biting, to Ruff house. she was incredibly matted (we live off grid), with sap in her fur and terrified when we walked in. the grooming team was incredibly patient with my and my pooch, led with love and confidence and my dog returned to me a brand new girl. she looked gorgeous, she was calm and relaxed. I have never had such a positive grooming experience. read more

Hello, I rescued a long haired Himalayan Persian that was so knotted up you could hardly pet her, some told me to put her to sleep, others said it would cost hundreds to clean her up, she took a liking to me and I felt for her, I call a animal rescue place and they told me of Ruff House, so I made an appointment not knowing if they could help her, Well they took her in and in no time at all, had her looking like a $500 cat! the staff is super to work with and little Smokie is so happy now! Thank you all at Ruff House Per Salon! read more

First time to Ruff House. Very pleased! They are quick and extremely knowledgeable. She wasn't.as satisfied as I am so she didn't charge this time. read more

Best groomers, quality work. The staff here is incredible and are obvious dog lovers. Don't hesitate bringing your dogs in, they will come out looking like a 2022 Lamborghini and smell better than San Frans botanical gardens. read more

We lost our previous groomer/boarder earlier this year due to health problems and had such a hard time finding a replacement. Our dog is an elderly, blind and deaf cocker, so quite a few of the local groomers didn't want to take on our pup with his "issues." He just has very sensitive feet and ears and needs plenty of patience with breaks in between stages of the grooming. We hit the Mother Lode when we were recommended to check out the Ruff House! Denise and her gang were so reassuring from the start and let us know exactly what would be going on with our dog. We were not disappointed. When we picked up MoeMoe later that afternoon, he was a completely different dog--he looked fabulous, was relaxed and calm, and obviously felt so much better getting his nails trimmed and all that excess fur removed. We will be returning again and again. Highly recommend the Ruff House for your pet. read more

UPDATE: Ruff House is OPEN!! We were told that they had closed a few months ago. But we were able to get our dogs bathed & groomed this weekend. They had a new groomer who was very nice & did an excellent job! While we had a great experience with all 3 of our dogs with this groomer, we are sad that they are no longer doing business in Twain Harte. read more
