Charlie

When we come home after Charlie has had one of his adventure walks he has a huge smile on his face! Thanks to Tracy and her trusted team.

Odie

It's been about 2 months since we signed up Odie for walks with Ruff Stuff. Though it took him a couple of more trips than usual to get used it - he's now happy as can be to see Tracy on Wednesday mornings! Thank you so much to Ruff Stuff for making Odie's transition as smooth as can be. It's a great feeling to come home to a dog that hasn't been alone all day and is "dog-tired."

Morgan

I have been using Ruff Stuff for boarding and day walks for almost 10 months now. I have been very pleased with their care, warmth, and concern for my great dane, Morgan. Being a large breed dog (and possessing a certain 'attitude'!), she comes with unique challenges that Ruff Stuff has been very keen, willing, and knowledgeable in handling. She has also unfortunately had a number of illnesses and injuries over the past year and again Ruff Stuff has been incredibly adaptable and caring in their handling of her during these times.

It gives me a great sense of security while at work to know she is out exercising and having fun with such competent and caring individuals.

I would strongly recommend Ruff Stuff to any pet owner.

Griffey

Griffey

Our dog, Griffey loved his hikes and beach time with Ruff Stuff. He waited each Wednesday for pickup and returned home happily exhausted. What a dog's life!!! He felt truly special and we feel that the walkers were all special doggie people that cared for GDog. He couldn't have had a better time. Thank you Ruff Stuff.

- Kelly Rae, Vancouver, B.C.

Sadly, Griffey passed away on August 21, 2008 after living a long and happy life. He was a wonderful boy who will be missed very much.

Tulah is an opinionated, stubborn and lovable dog! The patience shown by Tracy, Erik and Jessa during some of her outbursts has been fantastic....she always comes home relaxed and exhausted....I would highly recommend Ruff Stuff to any dog owner.

Diggy

Diggy

Diggy has been going out with Ruff Stuff for 4 years now and he loves it. Going out daily has boosted his confidence and made him a happy boy. The staff at Ruff Stuff are fantastic, straight forward and always come through. I trust them all implicitly.

Cooper

Cooper

We have a five year old black Lab named Cooper, who we consider our first born! We were first introduced to Ruff Stuff a few years back, when our old dog walker simply left us high and dry one day due to the area we lived and congested traffic. We have always believed a well exercised dog is a well behaved dog. So, having Cooper walked on days I worked was very important to us. We called Ruff Stuff and they came over within a day to meet Cooper. They were great with him, we knew instantly that Cooper would be in great care! That same week he was off on his new adventures! He came home happy, relaxed and tired!

In 2006 we moved out of Vancouver into North Burnaby. I thought for sure we would no longer be in the service area for Ruff Stuff. I dreaded finding Cooper another daycare. We knew how much Cooper loved his walks. Well, turns out we didn't need to look any further. Ruff Stuff was happy to pick Cooper up on their last stop before heading over to the North Shore. What a relief. We've never looked back! Cooper doesn't go for walks with Ruff Stuff everyday, but when he does, he's eager to go. He's excited to see his friends and we find him snoring on the couch when we come home!

Tracy, Erik and the Ruff Stuff team are very reliable. I try to book Cooper in for his walks as soon as I know my work schedule, which changes all the time doing shift work! Whether I've booked him well in advance or emailed the night before with a last minute request they are always very accommodating. They have never missed a walk, are always on time, and our boy comes home happy and healthy! We are truly fortunate to have Ruff Stuff as our doggie daycare providers!

We have recommended Ruff Stuff to many friends and fellow dog owners and we will continue to do so!

Tyber and Sable

Tyber and Sable

Tyber and Sable are happiest on the days when Ruff Stuff has come and taken them on a woodland or ocean adventure. They are well-exercised (i.e. tired) and happy when I get home from work. The folks at Ruff Stuff are friendly, helpful, and always come when called (just like a good dog :-). Thanks so much to Tracy and everyone at Ruff Stuff for keeping my grrls happy.

Oinky

Oinky

Not only has Oinky been going out on his daily "hikes" with Tracy, Erik and the Ruff Stuff team since we arrived in Vancouver 3 years ago, but he also stays with them in their home when I need to go out of town. He leaves me without a backward glance when they pick him up for his walks and races up to say hello to them if we meet them on the beach at the weekend - he clearly loves them! Being able to leave Oinky with them when I travel gives me peace of mind too - I know that he's happy, well taken care of and safe. I would highly recommend Ruff Stuff - they really are a dogs best friend!!

Spencer

Spencer

I have been using Ruff Stuff Dog Services for almost 4 years-not only for the fantastic mountain hikes and beach walks, but also their boarding services. I know my dog is treated like family when he is with the Ruff Stuff Crew and not just a number! He always comes home happy and exercised! I would (and have) recommended Ruff Stuff to everyone I know with a dog!"

Bara

Bara

Tracy and Eric have gone above and beyond in looking after Bara,our ginger ninja, who is a bit of an escape artist! They have given her wonderful outings and made a huge effort to give her the best walk possible while ensuring her safety and well being.

Bara is very choosy about whom she will greet but she runs happily to the door when Ruff Stuff comes to pick her up.

With many thanks Tracy and Erik, and licks from Bara.
