The ladies at the front desk were super sweet along with the lady who took my (very anxious) dog. Super clean and very cute inside. My dog came back happy as ever. They also gave him a bath and he came back smelling very nice. Very satisfied with my choice of dog boarding and grooming
We needed a safe and loving place for our dogs. They are kinda grumpy and fearful at times. We got them back after being there for almost a week happy and kinda sad to be going home🤩. Our senior dogs were loved on, played with and bathed. So would recommend and in fact they are already going back. Love all the…
When I leave my fur baby at the Ruff House Daycare, I walk away feeling that she gets the attention and care that she deserves. All of the staff are pleasant and kind. I greatly enjoy the views/pics that I receive daily and am able to share them with family and friends. Thanks for taking good care of my baby.
Always a beautiful job on her fur and she leaves happy!!!
I have been bringing my dogs here for 8 years for doggy day care, boarding AND to get groomed. It keeps getting better and better. They have been more than kind and know my dogs by name which is a huge deal to me because they have so many clients. They go above and beyond and I trust them completely. We are so lucky to have them here.
My pup Falco has been getting groomed here for at least two years now and he always goes in a mess and leaves a handsome boy! The staff is very friendly and welcoming, and Judy (the groomer) always takes good care of my pup 🐶
I've used this kennel a couple of times. They are always accommodating at the last minute. My cats are treated like Royalty 😺
Thank you Bayside. Starrleigh looks great!😊

Love getting our dog groomed here! She always looks great! Thank you so much!
Great friendly service
Amazing service and employees Judy is the best. She listens to what I like and does exactly that. Been coming here for 16+ years
My babies always love their fresh bath and cut. Very good today.
Always excellent service. They have taken wonderful care of our pups over the years and gave extra special care to Lola when we lost Max recently.
Judy is the only one I will let touch my dogs! Been going to her for 10+ years. Amazing! Gus and Maggie love you Judy!
They take great care of your family/pet. We never worry about our dog while she's there. They call if there is any question. Our dog loves the staff. She is happy to see them and goes right back with them.
They’re good with the pups and the pups love them
I absolutely love this daycare! The staff is always friendly, caring, and professional. They treat my dog like family and make sure she feels safe and happy every single day. I really appreciate how clean the place is and how well they communicate with me about her activities and behavior. My dog gets so excited…
Judy is a such a sweetie. She's been been grooming numerous of dogs that I have over the years. She's the best.
They were so kind and caring with our sweet boy! They made him and us comfortable thru out his entire stay!
