The Ruff Break

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!

Play

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.

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!

Ruff Break is the perfect answer to my dog Kelev's energetic needs and my busy schedule. Ruff Break has offered expert service with attention to detail and great consideration. Most importantly, my wonderful dog is as happy and healthy as he has ever been. I can not say enough to encourage you to give Ruff Break a try!
