9:00 AM – 1:00 PM | Social Exploration: The main event begins! All guests gather for outdoor exploration and social play across our sprawling Yards.

The Midday Recharge

Common Questions
Do dogs get supervised play during their stay?
Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. Every single play group at Ruff Life is 100% supervised by our trained staff to ensure a fun, energetic, and safe vacation experience. We constantly monitor interactions to keep play groups positive and engaging for every dog.
Are dogs grouped by their size or temperament?
We group our guests based on play style. This structured environment ensures that your dog is with a compatible pack, allowing them to socialize safely and enjoy the right level of energy. We get to know every dog’s personality to find their best friends.
What vaccinations are required for boarding or daycare?
To keep all our resort guests healthy, we require proof of Rabies as required by the state. Distemper/Parvo (DHPP), and Bordetella vaccinations based upon your vets recommendations. We highly recommend uploading these records to your dog's online profile before your first visit to ensure a smooth check-in process.
Can my dog visit for daycare before boarding?
Yes! We actually encourage a daycare trial. It helps your dog get familiar with our play yards, team, and routine before their overnight boarding stay. This usually results in a much more relaxed and confident vacation experience when they return for boarding.
