Ruffin’ It Dog Adventures
Hey there, and welcome to your dog’s best day ever. Dogs are my passion, and I’d love to get to know yours. I’ve had and cared for a wide variety of dogs my entire life from reactive to athletic to snuggly couch potatoes, big and small. Growing up I always had a dog and have always loved finding ways to fulfill them. I love the outdoors and finding the best spots in town for our next adventure. Pet care with me is centered around family and a well structured play day (and plenty of kisses). Your dog will fall into our routine for the time that they are with us, and enjoy the creature comforts of our home. It is preferred that boarding dogs are crate trained as it provides us with more options, however we understand all dogs are different. I am a stay at home mom to our toddler and three dogs, so boarding or daycare dogs typically are not left alone for long periods of time. We have a fenced in yard for play and potty time, as well as a quiet neighborhood for daily walks. My focus is on your dog getting the most out of their environment. Whether they love fetch, sunbathing, walks, swimming, kong treats, sniffaris in the yard, obedience training, or just want lots of snuggles, I segment our daily routine to allow for 1:1 play, attention, and rest. I typically only take 1-2 clients per day, and prefer to take new clients on days when there are no other boarding/daycare dogs. I prefer to pair repeat clients together based on play style. I do crate/rotate when needed for dogs who need alone time to reset for more playtime or may become overwhelmed. I also do all of our personal dogs’ grooming at home and can add on a bath/blowdry, nail trim, teeth and ear cleaning, and full haircuts for some breeds. I own all professional grade products and equipment. These can be added on to most bookings if you’d like your dog groomed before going home! Pricing is typically $70 for full cut or deshed and $40 for just bath/blowdry. We can discuss your dog’s specific needs when booking other services.

Ratings and reviews
Leaving your gang is always tough when you have aging pets who require extra love and attention. We have two senior dogs and one very old cat, so I was incredibly nervous about being away for an entire week. Thankfully, we found Jessica, and she was absolutely amazing! From the very start, she understood exactly how to care for our older crew. Every single day, she kept us completely in the loop with a million silly photos of our gang getting treats, snuggling up, and playing. Seeing them so happy and relaxed completely took away all our travel anxiety. Jessica went above and beyond to make sure our sweet seniors were comfortable, loved, and well-cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. 10/10—we will absolutely be booking her again!
She did an amazing job with our Molly.
I’ve left a review before but as we just became a family of 3 and brought home our little girl from the hospital we had our first 4 legged baby with Jessica and I truly don’t know what we would do without her. She goes so far above and beyond and has truly been the biggest blessing to us. I’m telling you you won’t find someone who takes better care of your dogs
Jessica is awesome!! She is very personable and goes above and beyond for your pet. She is very communicative and understanding when my pup was sick. I will definitely be using her again ❤️
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She went above and beyond in every possible way and treated our dogs like they were part of her own family. From taking them on daily walks to making them feel completely at home in her house, she gave them so much love, attention, and care. She kept them happy and engaged with interactive, stimulating toys, spent time playing with them, and even brushed them so they came home looking and feeling great. It was obvious that she truly cared about their happiness and well-being, not just meeting their basic needs. Knowing our dogs were so loved and well cared for gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed pups, and that says everything. We would trust her with our dogs again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!
Jessica is truly a lifesaver! My dog got sick, and she promptly communicated with me and went above and beyond to assist me while I was away. Thank you, Jessica!!!

Schedule
I stay home full time with our son and 3 dogs, so your pets would have consistent care and supervision. Dogs are never left unattended together. We also have a separate room for crates and dog things, so if space to decompress is needed for any dog, they have a comfortable area to relax in. You do not need to bring your dogs own crate, but can bring comfort items for them that smell like home!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced in backyard, dog room with extra crates, water always available, and plenty of enrichment items. Dogs do not receive any chews/kongs/meals when out together, and are never left unattended. We also love to have dogs travel in our vehicle to nearby locations for walks in town and local hikes if your dog is comfortable with car rides. Some of our favorites are Sterling Creek Park and JF Gregory Park.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day in our home begins with potty breaks and breakfast, then either play time at home or a walk either in the neighborhood or local park. Because our walks typically range from 1-3 miles, in the summer we try to keep those to earlier or later times of day. Mid day we typically take a break for the dogs to nap or relax inside. If they need/want a crate break I give a kong or their favorite treat for them to enjoy. Otherwise most dogs curl up on the couch and snooze after the morning’s exercise. We typically do an afternoon/evening walk or outdoor play session depending on energy levels before dinner time. Before bed I will go through any daily needs with your pet and get some extra snuggle time before bed time. I send lots of photo and video updates through the day, and will always call in the event of an emergency.
