What is a Ruff Break?

Simply put, a Ruff Break is a break for your dog from the stresses of living in a human world. A break from sitting around all day and not being able to release pent up energy. A break from feeling nervous that its owner has left, a break from having to chew on anything it can sink its teeth into because it has no other outlet during its day, a break from the humdrum daily routine!

Ruff Breaks are Much More than Dog Walking!

They are exhilarating exercise sessions tailored specifically to meet your dog’s exercise needs, ability and enjoyment. We literally go the extra mile (sometimes miles…) to make sure your dog is satisfied! Dogs… Exercise… Adventure… we mean it! We offer exercise memberships and pet sitting for short term trips or extended vacations.

Ruff Breaks

  • Reduce or eliminate common behavior problems like digging, excessive barking, chewing and hyperactivity
  • Keep your dog healthy, agile and limber
  • Help timid or fearful dogs build confidence and trust
  • Allow your dog to feel rested and relaxed throughout the day when you're away.
  • Keep your dog's weight under control

Customer Feedback

The Ruff Break team is always available to provide my dogs with a break, even on short notice and when I am working night shifts. It is hard for me to imagine any other dog-care provider that is so committed to their clients that they will exercise your dogs at 11 pm at night, even in the middle of a freezing cold Minnesota winter!
