• We believe your vision and dream is unique and therefore customize a program just for you. Your first step is to identify which stages or parts of stages interest you. Then, contact Renee via phone or email to discuss your needs.
• Based on our discussion, we’ll provide a proposal targeted to your specific needs, vision and timeline. This will include pricing and details of the services we’ll provide.
• After you review the proposal, we’ll make changes as needed until you feel comfortable with the course of action.
• Next, you’ll sign a contract and provide a down payment, usually 20%, which is required payment up front.
• Then the fun begins as we pursue your dream together!

If I utilize your consulting services, how long before I’m open for business?

• It depends. For example, If you’re using all of our services for all 3 stages and building a new structure from the ground up, it could take anywhere from 4 months to a year, depending upon the size and detail of the building and your city’s requirements.
• If you’re using all of our services for all 3 stages and renovating an existing building, the timeframe could be much quicker, anywhere from 2 to 6 months.
• If you’d like to ‘cherry pick’ services from various stages, the length of time depends upon the services chosen.

How does pricing work?

• Because your dream and vision are unique, most of our consulting is customized to meet your individual needs. Therefore, pricing is dependent upon how many services are chosen and the detail needed/requested for those services.
• Unlike most dog daycare/boarding consulting services, Ruffin’ It Consulting is personalized and we work closely with you to realize your dream of a luxury facility.
• Contact Renee to discuss next steps (see the FAQ question above, ‘I think I’m interested in your services, what’s the next step’)

Can I choose various categories from each stage or do I need to purchase an entire stage?

• You can ‘cherry pick’ as many or as few services as you’d like. We want to meet your needs and not force you to pay for what you don’t need. Keep in mind, the more services you sign up for, the more of a discount you’ll receive on the total package cost.

Do you charge royalty fees?

• NO! Unlike franchises, we don’t take a penny of your revenues. We provide the necessary tools and services to get you started towards success. We strongly feel that all profits are yours- you’ve worked hard, after all, and this is YOUR business.

Why should I use a consultant vs. a franchise?

• There are many reasons why a consultant might be right for you. For a complete list, view our Consulting vs Franchising page.
