Testimonials

On 3/24/2026 Angela Rouse had this to say:
We are so grateful for The Ruff Life Resort and the exceptional care they provide for our beloved Linda Lou. It brings us great peace of mind knowing she is in such wonderful hands each weekend. The staff's dedication and attention to detail are truly remarkable, making it our preferred boarding facility. We consistently choose The Ruff Life Resort because of the consistently positive experiences Linda Lou has there. Their commitment to animal welfare is evident in everything they do.

I have been bringing my dogs Roxy and Rita both to Ruff Life Resort. The staff is exceptional. Before Roxy passed they would make sure to give her medicine and provide us updates everyday of her playing. We have boarded Rita since she was 6 months old, and she loves playing with her friends. When we have gotten grooming done, they have been amazing. Very clean, smells great, and nails trimmed properly. If you are needing to board your four legged friends look no further than Ruff Life Resort.

On 2/4/2026 Rita Byrns had this to say:
LOVE the ladies at Ruff Life!!! We have a senior female chocolate lab and a 8 yr old chocolate male. They both go to daycare at least twice a week. Recently they boarded while we were on a cruise. ( they have boarded before). The updates and pictures we received gave us piece of mind with our senior baby as well as our boy. Kind, caring, professional , attentive to detail would be just a few phrases I would use to describe the ladies. You will find no better care for your furbabies anywhere. These ladies are a blessing to so many dog parents in Russellville ♥️ I would give them 100 stars if I could!

On 10/28/2025 Darlene Cannon had this to say:
Thank you for taking such good care of my dog. I called multiple times before and after I boarded him. You all were always very nice and caring. It was wonderful to go on vacation and not worry about him. The pictures were wonderful and I'm going to print and frame them. Again, Thank you to all your staff.
