It’s always hard leaving your fur babies behind, but I felt very comfortable knowing our husky was well cared for during her two-night stay. The staff was kind, accommodating, and made the whole experience stress-free.Their pricing was very affordable, and we especially appreciated that they allowed us to pick her up on a day they are technically closed. That flexibility meant a lot to us.We will definitely be using them again whenever we travel back to visit family.

One of the best grooming and kennel services in the surrounding areas! I travel often for business and can always count on Ruff Cuts to take care of my pup. She always comes home happy and glowing after her spa treatment! I highly recommend this business for anyone looking for an affordable and friendly, groom and kennel service.

Ruff Cuts is absolutely amazing — a true Godsend. Carol and Leonard are extremely accommodating and genuinely care about their clients and pets. I completely trust them with my fur kids and they always come home happy, clean, and very well cared for after being kenneled. It gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re in such loving hands. Highly recommend!

Persephone and I are in from out of state and that can always be a bit stressful, especially finding a groomer. Carol was sweet, professional and efficient. Carol picked up my dirty little English Springer Spaniel and brought back a fluffy, clean, sweet smelling girl that had beautiful feet and ears so clean she's still dancing! I will use Ruf Cuts and Carol again, for sure, if we stay long. ❤ Very affordable for the above and beyond service!

Ruff Cuts is the best! Carol always does exactly what we ask and is very responsive. My dog is older and has developed a bit of anxiety when away from us. They take extra time to make sure our dog settles in and they work to keep her calm while working on her. My dog always looks great when we pick her up! Thank you Carol and Leonard.
