Rowdy Ruff House

Rowdy Ruff House is a family-owned dog boarding and dog daycare facility at 9201 Commerce Cove in Maumelle, AR, with training programs and take-home baths on the same site. It is open seven days a week and serves families across Central Arkansas. The owners say they designed the building after touring facilities around the country and asking other operators what they would change. The site notes more than 200 five-star Google reviews.

What the facility offers

Dogs boarding overnight spend the day in supervised playgroups and sleep in individual climate-controlled kennels. Staff sort play by size, temperament, and play style, and they follow owner instructions for meals and medication.

• Supervised playgroups grouped by size, temperament, and play style
• Outdoor yards with artificial turf, shade sails, pools, and toys
• Individual climate-controlled kennels with beds and customized meal prep
• Non-social daycare and boarding for dogs who do better away from a group
• Play & Train and Board & Train programs, plus a Puppy Play School

For dogs who don't do groups

Not every dog enjoys a playgroup, so the facility offers non-social daycare at $35 per day and non-social boarding at $55 per night. Both swap group play for individual human attention. Puppies from 9 to 16 weeks that have started their shots stay in a separate puppy area away from adult dogs.

Prices, hours, and booking

Standard boarding runs $44 per night, non-social and puppy boarding $55, full-day daycare $23, and half days $18. Weekday hours are 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM, and weekend hours are 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Checkout is 11:30 AM on the last day, and a dog can stay in daycare until closing for $15 more. Vaccinations are required, and holiday reservations carry a two-night minimum plus a 50% deposit. Reservations are made online or through the Rowdy Ruff House app, and the phone number is 501-333-7833.
