Caity and Tyler have become extended members of our family. We have been bringing our hounds to…read morethem for nearly five years and are always impressed by their flexibility with urgent requests. Our three dogs go there for spa services, day care, and overnights with our frequent travels. They will sometimes pick them up at our home and we have tremendous trust in them to care for our priceless pets. One of them is special needs (blind) and they ensure he's kept with our others and safe. We've had experiences where our dogs have come home injured and that has never been the case here! Dogs are happy to go there but happier to come home. Great people and huge asset for to our area.

So very sad to be leaving Ruffin Inn. I could post a 1-star review because of how the owner…read morereached out to me, and how she made me feel because of 4 stars instead of 5. But I will not. I gave a 4-star review and Mary was not happy about it. She reached out to me inquiring why it was not 5. I was feeling bullied into giving a 5. I told her how my dogs love it there and I thought 4 was a good rating.... We had an exchange and I could go into details, but again, I won't. I don't feel the need to smear somebody and be petty online. I told her I was going to have to think about bringing them back because of how I was being treated but not that I wasn't going to. She basically referred me to other places and cancelled my info and will not allow me to log in. If anyone wants to reach out to me privately, feel free and I will explain further. This note has NOTHING to do with the staff. They were great. Owner was very unprofessional. I was extremely surprised at this. Thank you to all the staff who have loved on my babies. :)

Rooms are furnished with couches, pillows, TV, unfinished rustic floors. The dogs appear to be enjoying themselves, and happy with the environment. Prices are excellent and a good value.

I had a similar experience as the other 1 star reviewers. We boarded our 2 Goldendoodles for 7 days…read morewhile we went to Texas. Our dogs were kept in the basement where we were not allowed to go. Neither one of them ate while we were gone and we were not notified of this and they both had developed diarrhea. No one told us anything until we picked them up! So we went to pick them up after we got back from Texas and could see that something was very wrong. They each had lost 4 lbs!!! The older one was so weak that by the next day she could not stand. We took her to the emergency vet in Coon Rapids where they gave her some IV fluids and prescribed some medication. We were lucky that she made it. Our other dog pulled through okay. The Bed and Bone is not a good place for dogs and there is no communication about your dog. After this incident, I never boarded my dogs again but used Rover to have someone come to the house and stay with them. I highly recommend them. It might cost more but it's worth it, not just in price but in care, plus you're not paying an emergency vet bill. Its a bad bad bad place!

I didn't think my people-shy cat would want to be anywhere near her, but Sarah made both of my pets comfortable, and my cat acted like she ruled the roost. If you have any doubts about where you should go for pet photography, go to Sarah's website. The pictures speak for themselves.
