PET BOARDING

Are you going away and would like your pup to have a stay-cay too?

The Ruff Barn is located in Leeming and offers pet boarding services where your pup stays overnight at our place. We take great care to ensure your pups are treated with the utmost care from the time that they arrive at our place to the time that you pick them up!​

 

Unlike traditional boarding facilities, pet boarding offers a more personalized and home-like experience for pets. At The Ruff Barn, your furry friends enjoy the freedom to roam both indoors and outdoors at their leisure. We understand the importance of companionship, which is why your beloved canine companions will sleep indoors with us, ensuring they feel safe, cozy, and cherished throughout their stay.

 

We do require all boarding dogs to come in for a temperament trial. You'll drop your dog off for an hour and we can assess his/her behaviour and interaction with other dogs. 

Things we would need you to bring for boarding:​

  • Food 

  • Harness

  • Your old shirt or their blankie (so that they can be comforted by your scent)

We require a non-refundable and non-transferable 20% deposit to be made within 72 hours of receiving the invoice. No booking can be confirmed until the required deposit is paid. The balance payment is to be made 48 hours prior to your pet's stay. There will be no refund should there be any cancellation after full payment has been made. No refunds or credits will be offered for early collections.

We ask all owners to familiarise themselves with our vaccination policy and remind owners that pets that are not routinely vaccinated every year may be refused entry. We may request previous vaccination certificates to verify your pet’s status and history. All vaccination certificates are required to be emailed to us before confirming any booking.
