Evaluation Process

The Ruff House requires an evaluation with each dog upon registering for daycare and/or boarding because the safety of our animals is our priority.

Our evaluation process includes:

• A brief wellness check

• Response to staff touch and interaction

• Response to other dogs, varying in breed, size, and activity level

• Reaction to an open play environment

• Comfort level in crate

• Overall observation

Evaluations are done by appointment only. Please contact us to schedule an interview.
