    Bailey, with my kiss so she takes me to daycare with her
    Pam E.

    We found Ruffners 13 years ago and the first time we boarded our dog we were hooked. When our Daisy was getting up in years they took extra care not to overwhelm her. They take such good care of all the pets. From just daycare to boarding. We now have a new puppy and she too loves going she can not get out of the car fast enough. I love that they put her with a variety of sizes to fully socialize her. During these tough times it's not easy to get her out with other dogs. It also does not hurt that she is very tired when she comes home. I would not bring my fur baby anywhere else

    Our dogs Crash and Lucy love Ruffners. Lucy often doesn't want to leave.

    We have been bringing our dogs to Ruffner's for three years now. The associates all know our dog's names and personalities and provide truly loving attention to each and every dog that comes in the door. The ownership makes sure that all pets are properly vaccinated and healthy. If your dog shows some sort of problem in physical or behavioral changes, they immediately communicate. They also make sure that all dogs are compatible in social situations. That includes "right-sizing" your pet to be with other dogs. The facility is kept super clean, and all the other owners we've encountered are respectful. The prices are fair given the quality of attention and service given to the boarders and daycare pups and cats. Even a few birds are cared for here. I know because I've "talked" with them in the lobby! I highly recommend Ruffner's. The holiday pet photos are another treat.

    See all

    There are 3 things I worry about when leaving my animals behind on a trip…read more 1. Will they be taken care of? 2. Will they be comfortable? 3. Will they be okay in case of an emergency? Lauren puts all 3 of these to worries to ease. 1. Will they be taken care of?? I have never seen my dogs like another person more. She takes care of them and communicates with me if she has any worries about their behaviors, or conditions. 2. Will they be comfortable?? My line of thought might not be the same as everyone else, but I feel like my dogs are comfortable in their own space and home. The ability to leave my dogs at home and have someone either come let them out and take care of them, or stay over night with them puts me at ease. I've boarded my dogs outside of home before and they appear stressed when I come back. After having Lauren watch my dogs they don't seem to skip a beat and seem calm and happy. 3. Will they be okay in case of an emergency?? My animals are like family to me. It would wreck me with concern to know that they are hurt or in danger with me away. Lauren has been working as a vet tech for over 7 years. If there is an issue, she knows what to do, or knows who to contact to find out what to do. It makes me a lot more comfortable being away. I would recommend Lauren to anyone seeking petsitting in the Stc area.

    I first met Lauren 3 years ago when she was serving as a Vet Tech staff member at Gateway Vet…read moreClinic in St. Charles, IL. She was and still is much loved by the staff there even though she has moved on to another position with increased responsibility. My pup was a 7-year old rescue who had recently come to live with me and had not had a very good previous life at the time I met Lauren. At about the same time she came to live with me my situation was going to require my making several trips back and forth to Colorado over the course of a few months. I investigated the quality of several boarding kennels in my area. Although most were highly recommended I came to realize that no matter the cost or recommendations, my pup was not ready nor would do well in that type of stressful environment. During a Vet visit I met Lauren. Knowing that I was looking for a professional to take care of my pup she explained that home sitting and caring for dogs was something she had done for some length of time. The Veterinarian and staff at the vet clinic highly recommended Lauren. I add that my pup fell instantly in love with Lauren during her first visit at the Vet clinic. Lauren has taken care of pup multiple times and every time I come home it is to a very happy dog who has been well cared for and most importantly....loved. Lauren loves animals. When it comes to dogs it does not matter if they are tiny or very large she loves them all and they love her. Lauren is very flexible and willing to work around your requests or your pets needs. Her background as an experienced Vet Tech is an added bonus in being able to assess needs or unusual behaviors in the pet and the necessary actions to take. Regardless of whether you have Lauren stay at your house or come in as often as you request to feed and walk your pet you will be nothing but inordinately pleased and your pet will be happy as well as non-stressed. I highly recommend Lauren to care for your pet.

    Update: The facility has now reversed its position and agreed to cover the veterinary bills…read more However, they continue to refuse to provide video footage of the incident and have stated that reimbursement will only be issued if I sign a release/waiver. To be clear, the facility did conduct an internal investigation, and my claim was initially denied. I was told they "could not find anything" showing that Tito was injured while in their care. I immediately pushed back and requested the decision be challenged because I wanted to know what actually happened to my dog. I was informed the matter would be sent to their legal team for review and that the process could take 2-4 months. I agreed to wait -- not because of money, but because I wanted answers. Within 24 hours of them receiving a formal inquiry, I was notified that they would now pay the veterinary bills, provided I sign a release. This sudden reversal raises serious concerns about transparency and accountability. This has never been about money. I care about what happened to my best friend while he was under their supervision. What if I hadn't had the money to rush him to the emergency vet? What if I couldn't afford the injection to stop his vomiting or the antibiotics he needed? Those are real questions that matter. What has been most upsetting is that instead of accountability, the facility attempted to shift blame onto me, suggesting my dog was "too old" for daycare. If that was truly the case, he should never have been accepted into their care in the first place. Pet owners deserve transparency, honesty, and accountability -- especially when an animal is injured while entrusted to a facility's care. I would never want another family to experience this. I brought my 19-year-old senior dog to this daycare because it had become unsafe to keep him at home. He is partially blind and deaf. After his visit yesterday, I discovered a large, blood-filled knot near his ear that no one at the facility ever mentioned. I rushed him to the ER, where they had to shave his head to find the source of bleeding. He was put on a 10-day antibiotic and had to receive an injection to stop severe vomiting. I immediately contacted the daycare to ask what happened and why I wasn't informed. Their response was that "no one noticed anything," even though my dog is calm, keeps to himself, and should be closely monitored due to his age and condition. When I went today to pick up his belongings, I informed them he would not be returning. I asked for a refund and reimbursement for the vet bills. The general manager, Diana Rabadan, told me they aren't responsible because I signed a waiver. This injury happened under their supervision--how is that not their responsibility? How did no one notice an attack severe enough to cause a large, bloody injury? I also requested video footage and was told they would "get back to me." If you truly care about your dogs, please reconsider bringing them here. I'm devastated that this happened to my senior dog, and even more disappointed that the facility refuses to take responsibility. Upon review I found this on their waiver. Not sure why they are saying they won't reimburse me for the vet bills.

    The personal service to help me and my furry friends is concierge. The app is a little tricky but…read moreafter you get the hang of it, it is super helpful.
