Why kennel-free?
Dogs are pack animals. So is our facility.
Traditional kennels stack dogs in stainless steel runs. We don't. At Ruffin Inn, dogs board in private suites, play in open group yards with trained handlers, and nap on cots instead of concrete. The result: less stress, more rest, and a happier dog when you pick them up.
Over a decade of hands-on pet care. Open-door tour policy. Daily photo updates on Facebook so you always know how your dog is doing.
"Eased our anxiety"
The people who work at Ruffin Inn are wonderful. They were kind and helpful to me, and my dog. It was my dog's first stay in a kennel.

"Expert care & photo updates"
We love taking our dog to the Ruffin Inn. He always plays a ton, comes back safe and sound, and sleeps for a whole day after.

"Reliable vacation boarding"
We couldn't be happier with the service we get from Ruffin Inn. Every time we board our lab, we know that she is so loved and well taken care of. We love getting to see pictures of her on Facebook while we're on vacation.
