Why I do what I do...
I have always loved animals since I was child. I grew up in rural upstate NY where I had dogs and cats. I spent most of my childhood outside playing with my Golden Retrievers in the country side, this was my happy place. I was the go to person for family and friends when they needed a caregiver for their animals and honestly it never seems like work. I enjoy spending time with other people’s pets and you can often find me at social gatherings on the floor with the fur babies of the house. I have two dogs that I rescued Duke and Loki. I spend most of my free time hiking, walking, swimming and taking car rides out to the wilderness with them. They are my heart and make every day of my life better.
I started dog walking in Alexandria, Virginia in 2013. I worked for a company called Doggywalker.com and learned a lot about leash walking and dog behavior. I fell in love with the animals I cared for working for them and knew I could do this full time. I walked for them for 3 years until I moved to Austin, Texas.
When I moved to Austin, I fell in love with the hiking trails, food and culture. Since I had dog knowledge, I started working for a local dog kennel. They helped me learn even more about dog language and behavior. I started to think about how to take my love and passion and make it a career. I volunteered at rescues to help with transport and foster pets that needed homes. After a while, I realized I needed to start my own company doing what I know, love, and take my experience to make something for myself. This is when Ruff Life Dog Walking and Pet Sitting was born.
My company is called Ruff Life Dog Walking and Pet Sitting. I chose the name with the help of my boyfriend, Daniel. I love the play on words and because I spend so much times hiking, getting sweaty and dirty with my pups the name suits me. I am jack of all trades, while my strength is in dog walking and pet sitting, I also offer help with dog behavior to better my client's lives. I love the personal relationships I build with my clients. I enjoy helping them better their quality of life with their dog.
