In-Home Pet Care
Giving Your Pets the Best Care When You Aren’t There
Thanks to Rufus Care Center®, there’s no need to leave your pets feeling lonely at home while you’re away. Our Certified Caregivers can come to your home to give your pets specialized care and keep them company.
We take our jobs seriously and our commitment to your pets even more so. Our pet sitting services involve more than just stopping by to check on your pets—we provide the love and attention they deserve. If they have special requirements, we have the experience and dedication to provide them with the care they need. We are trained to administer medication and can care for post-surgery animals, puppies, and senior pets.
Our dedicated pet care services include:
- Pet sitting. When you can’t be home for your pets, Rufus Care Center has you covered. We design each visit to be as accommodating as possible.
- Vacation visits. While you’re away, we’ll visit your pets daily to take care of all their needs and give them lots of love and attention.
- Overnight stays. We can take care of your pet at every hour. Our staff will give your pet round-the-clock treatment with our overnight stays.
- Dog Walks. Because we understand the importance of daily exercise, we can schedule regular dog walks at a time that works for you.
- Poop scooping. We know you love your dog. What you don’t like is picking up their poop. Allow us to handle the less glamorous stuff.

At Rufus Care Center, your pup can play with other dogs in a fun, safe, and well-supervised environment with large play yards. You can rest assured they’re having a great time with furry friends and receiving lots of TLC from our Certified Rufus Counselors®
They play! Our dog day care is your pup’s dream come true. They can enjoy our large, climate-controlled play yards, which are carefully supervised by Rufus Counselors certified in pet first aid and CPR. Campers can play and socialize with other dogs—we make sure to separate them by size, temperament, and activity level—or take a nap in one of our spacious Cabins if they are tired. Overnight Campers play all day with the Day Campers, just taking breaks for meals and rest.
We do not walk the dogs at Camp, as they have access to our play yards all day. They will get plenty of exercise running around with other dogs throughout the day. For their safety, and your peace of mind, dogs don’t leave Camp while in our care.
We sure do! Almost all our locations have both indoor as well as outdoor spaces. Check with your local Camp to learn more about their facility.
Rufus Care Center offers all-day play for your furry family member. They will be able to run, jump, romp, and enjoy the company of other dogs as well as our Certified Rufus Counselors®. Traditional kennels often leave dogs in cages for a large portion of the day, only letting them out briefly or placing them in small outdoor spaces for a short period of time. Dogs in kennels usually don’t get to interact with other dogs or humans.
Because safety is our main priority, you can rest easy knowing Rufus Care Center always has a strict dog-to-staff ratio as well as dog-loving Rufus Counselors who are certified in pet first aid and CPR.
Our pricing is all-inclusive! Your pet’s stay automatically includes:
- Day care with boarding stays
- Medication administration if needed
- The ability to check in and out anytime during Camp hours
- Live web cams you can access from your computer or mobile device
- Lots of TLC from our Certified Rufus Counselors
- A cozy Cabin, complete with a comfy cot and nightly treat for overnight boarders
Our pricing is all-inclusive, so we can administer your dog’s medication at no additional cost. Please note that it must be in the original prescription bottle with an appropriate date. Unfortunately, we cannot inject medications.
Since our dogs interact in an all-day play environment, it’s important for them to get along well with others. We require that your pup first complete the Camper Interview process so we can see how they interact with other dogs and people.
To maintain our incredibly high safety standards and satisfaction ratings, we require your pup to be:
- At least four months old
- Spayed or neutered (if six months old or older)
- Current on Rabies, Distemper and Bordetella vaccines*
- Flea/tick-free and in good overall health
- Free of wounds or stitches of any kind
- Wearing a quick-release collar
- Friendly with other dogs and people
- Able to pass our Camper Interview and trial day
- Oral Bordetella accepted if given within last six months. Injectable or intra-nasal accepted if given within last twelve months
