Daycare Services

Are you working long hours and want to be sure your best friend is happy and relaxed? With Ruff Luxury Inn At The Dunes, you can be assured your best friend will make new friends and have a great time.

Many pet parents worry about their dog(s) during the day. Are they bored, damaging belongings or furnishings or aren't getting enough exercise while you are at work? It's not easy to provide dogs with the exercise and attention they require each day.

With Ruff Luxury Inn At The Dunes, you know that your dog is being taken care of throughout the day and not causing any damage with a team of professionals you can trust. While spending the day at Ruff Luxury Inn At The Dunes, your dog will have time to socialize with other dogs, similar in size and age, in a safe environment monitored by our trained staff. When you pick up your dog after a day of doggie daycare, you will find your companion calm, content, and ready to relax with you.

We supply your dog(s) with a medium or large-raised dog bed and a blanket if needed. You are more than welcome to bring your bedding, pillows, and blankets from home! We also provide stainless steel dog bowls for food and water. We will provide high-quality dog food at an extra cost if you choose not to bring your food.

What is required for my dog to play/stay at Ruff Luxury Inn At The Dunes?

Your pet's safety, health, and well-being is our first concern. Ruff Luxury Inn At The Dunes' contract includes a personality profile so we have basic information about your dog's temperament and match him with the right playmates. All boarding dogs that participate in daycare must demonstrate adequate social skills and the ability to play safely. On the first day at Ruff Luxury Inn At The Dunes, we will evaluate your dog's interactions with other guests. If we find your dog is not daycare-friendly, he will receive personal playtime with our canine companions.

All dogs must be at least 3 months old, spayed if 6 months or older and neutered if 1 year or older.

Before daycare and/or boarding, you must provide proof of the following vaccinations from your vet:

• Bordetella (Canine Cough) - Up-to-date vaccinations
• Parvovirus & Distemper - Up-to-date vaccinations
• Rabies - Up-to-date vaccinations

We also require that your dog is on a regular flea and tick prevention program, such as Frontline or Advantage. (Flea Powders/Collars are not acceptable, except for the Seresto Collar.) Vaccines must be up to date at least 7 days before arrival date.
