Our Story
The Ruff House Stay & Play was founded on a simple principle: to deliver exceptional pet care with a personal touch. Our journey began with the acquisition of Bayside Kennels in Virginia Beach, a longstanding facility known for its commitment to quality care. Recognizing the growing need for comprehensive pet services, we expanded to Chesapeake with the opening of our Greenbrier location. Today, both facilities operate under the Ruff House umbrella, united by our dedication to excellence in pet care.
Our Philosophy
Our team is committed to providing a standard of excellence in every single thing we do for our guests. Our facilities are designed to be clean, safe, and welcoming, ensuring that every dog, cat, or exotic animal feels right at home.
Our trained staff focuses on the well-being of each guest, offering personalized attention and care. Whether it’s through our daycare programs, boarding accommodations, grooming services, or training, we strive to enhance the quality of life for both pets and their people.
Award-Winning Excellence
Our commitment to quality has been widely recognized by the Hampton Roads community. Notably, our Bayside location’s lead groomer, Judy, has been honored multiple times as the Best Groomer in Hampton Roads by Coastal Virginia Magazine’s Best of Awards.
