Ruff Dog Daycare & Boarding

Loved RUFF! We are definitely sticking with them and highly recommend!
We have an English bulldog and they can be a little high maintenance due to many health factors. I was weary about leaving him at another boarding daycare b/​c usually when we get him back from other places his wrinkles are super infected, he is so tired and usually sleeps for two-​three days straight, and his feet, face and underbody were wet when we would pick him up (and not from a bath). I would say if you have a dog with special needs or just some extra things they need then this is a great place. They let me know that they know how to take proper care of bullies and that was a relief. When we got his report, they had cleaned his wrinkles daily, applied his face cream (to prevent infection), gave him breaks throughout the day so he wouldn’t get overworked, made sure not to keep him outside too long due to too cold/​too hot conditions, let him group play everyday etc.
COULDNT BELIEVE HOW ABOVE AND BEYOND THEY WENT… AND WITHOUT US BEING CHARGED FOR EVERY EXTRA THING!!!
Other places we’ve left our bullie at would charge you if you wanted your dog to get to play outside or with other dogs, people interaction/​affection, giving medications, the list goes on. Ruff Dog Daycare took care of all normal day to day care of their dogs without charging extra fees, which I highly appreciate.
Their facility is big and clean, they have outdoor and indoor play areas where the dogs can play together and their rooms are closed off so there isn’t a lot of distraction from other sights of animals and sounds keeping them awake. Other boarding places we left our dog at were extremely small side by side metal fencing so our dog would get exhausted and stressed by all the sights, noises and dogs next to him ²⁴⁄₇.
They even sent us a very cute professional photo of him in Christmas attire and Christmas lights, super cute!
A+++ 100% Thank You Ruff!!!

I don’t even know where to begin with this review. We found Ruff Dog on here due to the wonderful Unilocal reviews and in talking with Jenna and Abbi we got nothing but wonderful feelings of love and passion toward the daycare and boarding that they run. We have a very young puppy, and I’m sure you can understand that we would want to make sure anywhere we leave her for daycare and boarding would go above and beyond in their love, affection, and attention that they give to any dog let alone a puppy as young as our baby Luna!
In short, I feel that the staff at Ruff Dog has more than exceeded even my standards. It is clear that they love every dog that I have seen come in, and not to brag or anything but I think they might love Luna the most. They have been nothing but excited to have her around and show a desire to not only make sure she is well-​cared for, but also are more than willing to work on training aspects just the same as if she were at home! It is also apparent that Luna loves the staff, which is probably the biggest barometer of how well of a job they are doing. They also provide a report card that lets us know how everything went with regards to just about every aspect of their life, and it is clear they put a lot of work into these as well as taking EXCELLENT care of their dogs! It is such a breath of fresh air to know I can trust Ruff Dog for any occasion with our puppy and would highly recommend using their services if you are in need of any help with regards to daycare and/​or boarding.

We love Ruff Dog! It’s been such a lifesaver to be able to take our puppy here during the day. With a package, it’s actually less expensive than a dog walker, and she gets to be free and playing all day, as opposed to confined to a crate with one 30 minute walk. She always comes home exhausted, which is great! The employees are all wonderful and their passion for the dogs is clear.
My ONLY complaint is that I wish they were open a little later — sometimes it’s really tough for me to make it here by 6!

Max had an amazing five days stay. He was exhausted (a good sign) when he got home. He fell in love, watched some great movies, played hard, and said he wants to go back. We can’t blame him, we want to stay there too.
We also loved seeing photos of Max appear on Facebook during his stay. Thanks!
His report card was also hilarious. We loved it.

We love Ruff Dog Daycare! Our dog is not the most social, and can sometimes be a bit standoffish, but the team at Ruff Dog did an amazing job of bringing him out of his shell to play with the other dogs, and also gave him quiet time when he needed it. He came home happy, healthy, and tired! The report card is very thorough and answered all of my questions about our dog’s stay. I love seeing the Instagram feed and Facebook page when I’m away from my pup as well! Thank you very much Ruff Dog, and see you soon!

I have taken my dog to a few different doggie daycare centers and I can say without doubt that Ruff Dog is the best. I can tell the staff genuinely cares about my dog so I know she is in good hands. I love that they post pictures on Instagram throughout the day! I get so excited to see my pup! We have used both the daycare and overnight services and have been very happy with both. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby!!!

I boarded my dog here for 4 nights and she had a blast! The facility is very clean and the staff is great. They even gave her a bath for me the morning I came to pick her up. They emailed me a «report card» about her stay and how she did. I love that they are cage free and the dogs stay in their own mini room at night. I was a little skeptical at first when I pulled up because they are attached to an old mini golf course. But don’t let that fool you, everything was amazing.

My fiancé and I got a puppy, Griffin, upon moving to Nashville. We both have time commitments to work and graduate school, so we knew we would need extra hands to give our little guy the attention he deserves. Ruff Dog is, far and away, the best daycare and boarding service around. The proof is in the excitement Griffin displays to get in the car and go see them. He is always happy to see the staff and his doggy friends. Also, if I tell the staff members what I have been working on as far as training, they are happy to extend that in short, informal obedience sessions throughout the day. They’re sweet, they’re cheerful, and you can tell they love dogs. As an added bonus, your pup will come home tuckered out and ready to cuddle. Ruff Dog comes highly recommended by this puppy mlmma!

I have lived in Nashville for 3 ½ years and haven’t been pleased with the boarding facilities. I’m use to an environment that treats my baby as if he were theirs… love, affection and attention.
Let’s talk about convenience, affordable (not trying to break your pockets), cleanliness and the manager… absolutely a GEM. Simba and I love Jenna. She’s personable, loving, attentive and fun. Her personality is impeccable, she enjoys what she does and always with a smile. For this reason you have a repeat customer as long as I’m in Nashville and as long as Jenna stays…

I travel a lot for work and am always looking for a great place to board my beagle, Remington. I’m incredibly picky on where to leave him because to me, he’s my child and I want to make sure he’s getting the best care he possibly can. From the moment he walked into Ruff Dog, he was treated as if he was one of their own. Remington has now been there for daycare and boarding, it’s so wonderful being able to see pictures uploaded to Ruff Dog’s social media accounts throughout his stay so I can tell he’s having a great time. Shortly after picking him up from the weekend he was boarded I received an email with his report card letting me know how he ate, slept, played, and how much fun he had while he was there. I would recommend Ruff Dog to anyone and Remington will definitely be back in the future!

Macy has stayed here for both daycare and overnight and appears to love it. For a small terrier it is pretty easy to tell if they don’t like the place but she greats the ladies with tail wagging and licking their face. I love the report card you get at the end of the stay also. Will definitely take her back when needed!
