About Rruff House - Longview's Family-Run Dog Care Business
Our Story
"Play all day!"
Rruff House is a small family-run business located in beautiful Longview, Washington.
Our owner, Ross, is a Washington-native and veteran of the United States Marine Corps.
We started Rruff House with a simple goal in mind: we wanted a dog care service that we would use ourselves. We love our dog - Elvis the Husky-mix - like a child and we demand the very highest care and attention for him. With that standard in mind, we set up Rruff House from the floor to the ceiling for maximum safety, comfort, and fun of all our doggie guests!

Our Approach
We love and respect all dogs. We practice positive reinforcement in handling dogs. Shock collars, squirt guns, fists, and shouting have no place in our House. Our groomers follow industry best practices for sanitation and technique. Your dog is in good hands!
We believe strongly in transparency. We strive to be upfront about our prices and our practices. If a dog is ever injured under our care, it is our policy to immediately notify the owner.
It takes a lot of trust to leave your dog in someone else's care and we do our very best to give you peace of mind that your dog is safe, comfortable, healthy, and loved!
