About My Business

RuffCity Dog Walking is a full service dog-walking company providing personal and loving care to all dogs on the East Side of Manhattan, from the Lower East Side (Delancey Street) to the Upper East Side (96th Street) and all streets in between.

Founded in 2010, we started RuffCity for the benefit of everyone. Our goal is to make sure the owners are comforted, the pups are exercised and happy and that we are getting our own puppy fixes. But let’s be honest- it’s their world, we’re just living in it!

As a small team of experienced dog owners and lovers, we really get to know you and your dog and we can guarantee consistent and personal care that is equal to your love and attention.

We are so excited to make you a part of the family!

About our Founders:

Heather:

Originally from Baltimore, Heather moved to New York City in 2007 to experience all of the energy and excitement our concrete jungle has to offer. With a degree from the University of Maryland and 3 years of experience in the advertising world. She finally took the leap and devoted herself to her dream of a dog-filled life.

Now she spends her days surrounded by the awesome pups of the city, including her own 12-year old black lab mix, Blakely!

Stacia:

Stacia, Co-Founder

Co-Founder

RuffCity Uptown (45th Street to 96th Street)

Stacia grew up in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado and has been surrounded by dogs and horses her entire life. In fact, her first jobs were blanketing horses at her stables and washing dogs at a local grooming shop. She has called NYC home since 2006 and after a brief stint as an Interior Designer, she decided to pursue her true calling; working with animals, including her own basset rescue, Wyatt.
